Placenta therapy
What is placenta?
"Placenta" refers to the placenta, which is essential for the development and growth of the fetus.
It is a tissue that has the ability to grow a single fertilized egg into an embryo weighing an average of 3 kg in just 10 months inside the mother's body.
In other words, placenta contains a wealth of nutrients necessary for the growth of the fetus.
Placenta has a regulating effect within the body, exerting the power to return each part of the body to its natural state (healthy state). Because of this effect, it is widely used in prescription and over-the-counter medicines, and is expected to have the effect of enhancing the body's natural healing power.
According to the Japanese Society of Placenta Clinical Medicine, placenta has been proven to have the following 20 pharmacological effects:
