The Beauty of Placenta Burial: Honouring the Organ That Sustained Life

Across generations and cultures, the placenta has been treasured as more than just an organ — it’s seen as a sacred link between parent and baby, past and future, body and spirit. Often referred to as a baby’s “first home” or even their “finest clothing,” the placenta plays a vital role in nourishing, protecting, and sustaining life in the womb.

Today, more families are embracing the tradition of placenta burial — a deeply meaningful way to honour this incredible organ and create a lasting connection to the land and their child’s birth journey. Whether as part of a cultural ceremony or a personal act of gratitude, returning the placenta to the earth can be a powerful, healing experience.
