Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation involves the process of carefully preparing and encapsulating the placenta into easy-to-consume capsules or tincture. This ancient practice is gaining popularity for many potential benefits.
-
Some of the reported benefits* are:
-Increased release of the hormone oxytocin, which helps the uterus return to normal size and encourages bonding with the infant
-Increase in CRH, a stress-reducing hormone
-A decrease in postpartum depression levels. Some individuals report experiencing improved mood and decreased likelihood of postpartum blues when incorporating placenta capsules into their postpartum routine
-The placenta is rich in iron and other nutrients, potentially helping to replenish your body's energy levels after giving birth
-Consuming placenta capsules has been associated with potential benefits for lactating mothers, including increased milk production

If you choose encapsulation, we will prepare your placenta by cleaning it, sometimes through steaming, followed by dehydrating it, then it’s ground into a fine powder and placed into capsules. Your capsules will be delivered to you in a lidded container within 5 days of placenta delivery, along with detailed instructions on safety, storage, and ingestion.
If you choose a tincture, we’ll use a small portion of your placenta in 4oz of 100-proof vodka to make a solution that contains all the benefits of the placenta, is shelf-stable, and can be used for decades. Your tincture comes in a cobalt blue dropper bottle and I will provide detailed instructions about how to strain and use it when it's ready (at least 6 weeks after preparation).
