Jennifer writes: "Raw placenta is considered to be the most effective. Just
a tiny bite of it can stop PP bleeding instantly." This is interesting.how
is the bite absorbed so quickly that it instantly stops the bleeding? What is the substance---oxytocin?---in the placenta that stops the bleeding?
Have you seen this first hand? Curious because I've never heard this before.
Thanks!
