Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is gaining in popularity but making use of the benefits of the placenta is not a new trend or fad. Throughout ancient history, cultures around the world have honored and benefited of consuming their placenta after birth.
Today, those who are prepping for birth and postpartum are looking for alternative ways to set themselves up for success during their postpartum period. Placenta Encapsulation is an incredible tool that has helped many of our clients in their postpartum healing both physically, emotionally and mentally.
Many have reported these anecdotal benefits of placenta encapsulation:
Increased milk supply
Hormone regulation
Increased energy levels
Easier/faster recovery from birth
Reduction in postpartum bleeding
Mood stabilazation
(Placenta Encapsulation has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration)
Our Postpartum Placenta Specialists hold their Blood Bourne Pathogen and Food Safety Handler certificates and are certified to prepare your placenta using the Traditional Method of encapsulation which is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. This method involves cleaning, steaming and dehydrating your placenta.
After the placenta is dehydrated, your specialist will grind it into powder which is then placed into vegan gel capsules and consumed by the birthing parent during their postpartum period. The method we use is designed to help balance the placenta after childbirth.
The encapsulation process takes place in the comfort of your own home. Your Postpartum Placenta Specialist will bring all their equipment and supplies that are sanitized, prepped and ready. All you need to supply is your placenta, access to a stove, sink and outlet to plug in the dehydrator. The rest is our responsibility!
At the end of our process we leave your kitchen completely sanitized and you will have anywhere between 75-125 capsules (all depending on the size of your placenta) to take throughout your postpartum. You will also receive all the guidelines for consumption for your capsules, a tincture to use anytime after you have finished your capsules (Bonus tip: you can even use this tincture in menopause!) and beautiful cord keepsake for you to keep!
