Myrrh

Powdered myrrh is used in the placenta encapsulation process. Myrrh is a warming herb that helps aid digestion, stimulates the appetite, and soothes the stomach of pain or spasms. "In Chinese medicine, myrrh is classified as bitter and spicy...it is said to have special efficacy on the heart, liver, and spleen meridians, as well as "blood-moving" power to purge stagnant blood from the uterus." ~From Wikipedia

Myrrh is more commonly used in toothpaste and mouthwash.
