I've been wondering my mind on the issue of placenta adn the ways ethnics or countries deal with it. In yoruba culture, we refer to it as (ibi) which yoruba adage says : ojo ti a ba ri ibi ni ibi wole. Which means that we bury placenta the day we see it. But it is contrary to cotonou's people culture because they ain't bury the placenta. What they do is that they'll leave it in their room for it to decay nad pour palm oil on it nad they will use it as a cream or lotion for the baby........... So i wanna other etnic or other country culture on this placenta |

im not sure where i saw this...but this native american (or was she hispanic? lol) woman gave birth to a baby and her mother requested that the hospital would allow her to have the placenta. she explained that what they do is bury the placenta and plant a tree on top of it. apparently it's been done throughout the generations...something about the baby and nature being "one"...i'm not sure where i saw this though.  |
