PLACENTA SALVE
Many skin care products on the market these days contain proteins from various animal placentas (mostly cow and sheep) because the placenta contains many properties that are beneficial to the skin.  Some of those beneficial properties include:

*Progesterone: inhibits the breakdown of collagen (the cause of wrinkles).  Progesterone also stimulates the production of relaxin.
*Relaxin is a hormone that strengthens the skin, bones, and ligaments.
*Estrogen: builds collagen
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) & Cortisol: helps to heal infected skin

A placenta salve can be really beneficial in treating diaper rashes, eczema, or dry, itchy skin.  The salve is made using a mixture of coconut and olive oil, beeswax, tea tree oil, and placenta.

WOUND HEALING SALVE
Whether a woman delivers vaginally or by cesarean, she will most likely have a sore area that could benefit from this salve.  During a vaginal birth, the perineum is stretched - sometimes to the point of tearing - and can be sore after giving birth.  This salve contains comfrey, an herb that stimulates wound healing and encourages new skin and cell growth.  Comfrey has been used for centuries to treat sores, bruises, and even broken bones.  It is also great to apply to the incision site after a c-section to strengthen the healing.  The salve is made using a mixture of coconut and olive oil, beeswax, comfrey, and arnica flowers.
