Placenta, also known as human placenta, is the placenta delivered by a healthy pregnant woman. "Compendium of Materia Medica" explains its name as: "Before the heaven and the earth, the ancestor of yin and yang, the beginning of heaven and earth, the embryo is about to appear, and when the number of nines is enough, the fetus will ride on it and travel to the Buddhist kingdom of the West, the fairy mountains of the South China Sea, drift in the fairyland of Penglai, and the Milky Way, so it is called the river cart." It is red when it is delivered from the mother, and turns purple after a while, hence the name purple placenta.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "When a child is in the womb, the umbilical cord is connected to the mother, and the fetus is connected to the mother's spine. It is protected by the mother and is formed by the combination of the father's sperm and the mother's blood. Although it has an acquired shape, it actually has innate energy, which is obviously incomparable to other things such as metal, stone, and plants. Its nourishing effect is extremely important. If taken for a long time, the hearing and eyes will be sharp, the hair and beard will be black, and it will prolong life."
