Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation is a service that allows birthing parents to honor their postpartum journey by transforming their placenta into easy-to-take capsules. Many families choose this practice for its personal and cultural significance, as well as the meaningful ritual of nurturing recovery with the organ that sustained their baby. The process is handled with careful attention to safety, cleanliness, and respect, providing you with a thoughtfully prepared supplement crafted from your own placenta. While every experience is unique, many families appreciate the sense of support and restoration it can offer during the early weeks after birth.

There a few different ways to process the placenta:

• Traditional Chinese Method (TCM) is steamed (I steam with lemon, garlic, and ginger because they are anti-inflammatory ingredients.), dehydrated over night, ground up into a powder form, and then put into vegetarian capsules. Consuming it this way tends to have a more calming effect and has been helpful for some of my other clients in helping with their anxiety and rage. (This is the most common way to process the placenta.)
• The Raw Method just skips the steaming step and then everything else is the same. This method helps with energy and it is suggested to not take it after 3pm so that it doesn’t keep you up all night.
• A tincture is 1 part raw placenta and 2 parts vodka. It marinates for 6 weeks, drained and then put into a dropper bottle. When you feel like you need a boost of energy, you can take a dropper full. It can be consumed by placing it under your tongue or added to a beverage.  ***Because this process takes longer to marinate, I will deliver this to you after 6 weeks. (A lot of clients like to add this one as it is ready for consumption when you are starting to run low on capsules.)
• A water color art print of your placenta is a wonderful keepsake! A lot of my families really like this option since they don’t often get to see the placenta and appreciate all that it did for them and their baby. You can choose what color you would like the print.
