On March 15, the mainland media said that although the Chinese Communist authorities have long banned the placenta trade, due to the large market demand for placenta and high profits, some unscrupulous businessmen are still privately engaged in the act of selling placenta. This is especially prevalent in Bozhou, Anhui Province, Pizhou, Jiangsu Province and Yongcheng, Henan Province, which is known as “China’s largest placenta black market”.
The report said that unscrupulous businessmen from Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Guangdong and other places at a price of about 80 yuan (RMB, the same below) each, from hospitals, medical waste treatment plants, placenta “middlemen”, “thousands” of large quantities of human placenta, processed and shaken After processing, the placenta is transformed into “purple river car” and flows into the medicinal herb market.
General placenta is divided into “fresh” and “drying” two, but the placenta may carry hepatitis B virus, HIV AIDS virus, syphilis and so on, the traffickers do not care. A placenta processor said they can only guarantee that the dried goods are real, the specific fresh goods inside what contains, can not guarantee.
The traffickers say that the fresh human placenta they handle is not tested for viruses. And part of it is sold through the hands, may be directly eaten by the buyer.
The placenta is also divided into “net” and “heavy”, the report said, “net” refers to the purple river carriage without adding anything, while the addition of starch, color, and even artificial glue, edible glue, etc. The “heavy goods” are those with added substances such as starch, coloring, and even artificial glue and edible glue to increase their weight.

A search of public reports shows that as early as 2005, the Shenyang Evening News revealed that most of the placenta, which is popular among women in the market, comes from the placenta sold privately in hospitals. A businessman said that at least half of the hospital’s revenue from placenta sales goes into the pockets of the doctors and nurses who handle it. The whole process of selling, but the mother is unaware of.
In May 2011, the New Express revealed that the Red Cross Hospital in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, was selling placentas for 20 yuan each, and the nurses were introducing how to use them.
In August 2016, several mainland media reported that human placentas were secretly traded in several hospitals in Wuhan, and that placentas could be bought from hospital cleaners for as little as 25 RMB each, as long as they were willing to pay. Some cleaners even claim that doctors are informed and secretly involved in the human placenta trade.
It is reported that the human placenta is known as “purple river car” in Chinese Medicine and has some medicinal value, but the premise must be a healthy maternal dry placenta, and must be strictly sterilized and professional treatment.
