Evaluna ate the placenta when giving birth. What is the reason?

After the birth of the baby, Indigo, Camilo and Evaluna have kept a low profile and have only shown the baby’s feet, to protect their privacy.

During the “La Resistencia” program, a member of the team joked that some celebrities ate the placenta after giving birth, to which Camilo, quite naturally, replied: “My wife was encapsulated and ate it.” .

In the program, everyone was shocked and the singer even joked about it: “My wife gave birth at home and the doula, who is the one who prepared her, asked us what we wanted, and offered us the full range of possibilities.”

The truth is that Evaluna is not the first celebrity to “eat” the placenta after childbirth. Another of them was Kim Kardashian. She revealed that she did it because she “gives a shot of energy that makes you feel healthy.”

  • encapsulation of the placenta

The placenta is the organ that surrounds the fetus in the womb and allows the exchange of nutrients, blood, and waste with the mother. It is expelled from the uterus after the birth of the child. The custom of consuming the placenta, through the encapsulation of the placenta is a very old practice, applied more frequently in Chinese medicine. It is a controversial tradition that has been gaining ground in the United States for several decades.

The few scientific studies done on placenta encapsulation have not supported the effects of this practice, nor have they completely dispelled the possibility of benefits from ingesting the placenta.

What is placental encapsulation?

Placental encapsulation, according to the American Pregnancy Association, is the practice of ingesting the placenta after it has been steamed, dehydrated, and pilled. Traditionally this is taken by the mother and is believed to impart numerous health benefits. They are often taken shortly after giving birth, during a woman’s menstrual period, or during menopause, in the belief that it helps counteract some of the symptoms of menopause.

What are the proposed benefits of encapsulating the placenta?

There is little scientific research in this regard on this method, its consumption and its benefits. Holistic medical tradition and customs encompass a number of possible benefits that come from ingesting the placenta.

Among these possible benefits according to the American Pregnancy Association are:

  1. Increased hormone oxytocin, which helps the uterus return to its normal size and helps you enjoy your baby;
  2. Increased CRH, a hormone that reduces stress
  3. Decreased postpartum depression;
  4. Restoration of iron levels in the blood
  5. Increase in milk production
