Placenta Encapsulation Services

There are many traditions for the placenta, or tree of life, after the birth of your child. In some cultures, it is hung from a tree, floated down river, buried by the door or under a special tree or plant. In practices based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, the placenta is prepared by steaming and dehydrating before being processed into a powder. Studies show that the placenta is extremely nutrient-rich, high in iron, protein, vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 and of course, the mother’s natural hormones, making it perfectly suited for each individual. Experts agree that ingesting the placenta slowly reintroduces the hormones into the mother’s system and may ease hormonal fluctuations and decrease the chances of experiencing postpartum depression.

Your baby’s placenta contains your own natural hormones, is perfectly made for you, balances your system, replenishes depleted iron, gives you more energy, lessens bleeding postnatally, shown to increase milk production, helps you have a happier postpartum period, returns uterus to pre-pregnancy state, is helpful during menopause and shortens healing time.

Traditional Method 80-150 capsules (depending on size of the placenta)- This form of placenta preparation is inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and follows the preparation of lightly steaming the placenta before dehydration. Jalapeno pepper, lemon, and ginger are added to the steaming pot to aid digestion and promote warming for the mother. The placenta is then thinly sliced, dehydrated, and ground into a fine powder. The powder is then placed into capsules. This method is recommended for mothers whose diet is mostly cooked foods or traditionally prepared foods.

OR

Raw Start Dehydration Method 80-150 capsules (depending on the size of the placenta)- This method is prepared by thinly slicing the placenta raw prior to dehydration. After dehydration, the placenta is then ground into a fine powder and placed into capsules. This method is recommended for mothers whose diets is more aligned with raw food preparations.

Placenta Tincture – A small piece of placenta is placed within grain alcohol to create a tincture. This tincture can be used when the placenta pills are finished to offer a similar support to the mother. It also becomes more medicinal with age and can help balance hormones during menopause.
