Aussie Midwife Makes ₹7 Lakh A Year Transforming Placenta Into Edible Art

Childbirth is indeed a magical time. Many women seek to treasure this time with keepsakes from their pregnancy. Yet, one of the more curious ways to cherish childbirth is by storing away the placenta. An Australian midwife devised exciting new ways to encapsulate placenta! Her unusual vocation earns Ciara Noble more than 7 Lakh annually through the sale of placenta keepsakes.

For the uninitiated, a placenta coats the uterine organ and the fetus. It offers the unborn baby nourishment from the mother’s body. During labour, it is ejected and then usually discarded. This is precisely why as a midwife, Ciara has effortless access to the placenta.

Noble is a ‘placenta remedies specialist’ who launched her own brand of Postnatal products that use placenta as a core ingredient. Coveted by hundreds of women, these now earn her over 7 lakh per annum.

In recent years there’s been a new ‘Eat your Placenta’ trend. Don’t believe us? See for yourself!

Hillary Duff may have first endorsed it when she chugged a placenta smoothie after the birth of her baby. However, the trend soon took new life with a whole new exciting range of placenta products.

Placenta pills anyone? Icky or ingenious! You get to decide-

If popping tablets are potentially problematic for you, feel free to bring home these placenta pills. Wondering if they taste gross? Think again! Noble offers these capsules after steaming placenta with ginger, chilli and lime.

“Once I get the placenta I cut it into thin slices, and I pop it into the dehydrator for 15 hours, the same as if you were making beef jerky or dried fruits.

Then I’ll put all the slices in a blender and whizz it up into a powder. I have a pill-making machine that makes it all into little capsules,” said Noble as per News18.

What’s more is those with a quirky palate could opt for a blueberry or bubblegum flavoured set of capsules!

However, pills are not the only way to treasure your placenta.
