Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is a natural way to encourage postpartum recovery. The placenta has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as well as in other countries and cultures for hundreds of years. Every placenta is completely unique to the mother. There isn’t a prescription, vitamin, or herbal supplement that can do what one placenta pill can do. Through the encapsulation process the placenta is transformed into a holistic medicine that is taken in pill form.
Women have experienced the following when consuming their placenta after birth:
*Reduced baby blues and postpartum depression
*Increased and enriched milk supply
*Reduced postpartum bleeding
*Replenished depleted iron levels
*Energy boosts
*Promoted bonding between mother and baby
*Stimulated immune system to protect against infection
How it works
1. Arranging Pickup or Drop-Off
Before your birth, we decide together how your placenta will be handled. I can either collect it directly from your birth location or you may arrange a drop-off with me shortly after birth. Timing is coordinated in advance so everything runs smoothly.
2. Safe Transport
Once collected, your placenta is placed in a sealed, temperature-safe container and transported promptly to my preparation space.
3. Cleaning & Preparation
The placenta is carefully rinsed and prepared for processing.
4. Processing & Encapsulation
The placenta is gently steamed with lemon and then dehydrated, ground into powder, and placed into capsules.
5. Packaging & Return
Your capsules are bottled, labeled, and returned to you with dosing guidance. Drop-off or delivery is arranged based on what works best for your postpartum period.
