Encapsulation Details
What is Placenta Encapsulation?
Is the process of preparing the placenta after the birth of a baby. The placenta is dehydrated (using a modified Raw Method) ground into powder, and placed into vegan capsules. The ingestion of the placenta is known as “placentophagy.”
The purpose of placentophagy by the mother is to reintroduce the beneficial vitamins, minerals, hormones, proteins, and other nutrients into her body after birth to help restore a more balanced body function, prevent “baby blues” and perinatal mood disorders. It can also help with increasing breastmilk production, shorten healing time, increase maternal energy levels, and provide an overall feeling of wellness to aid in the transition between pregnancy and the postpartum period.
What is Placenta Tincture?
A placenta tincture is made by taking a piece of raw placenta after birth, steeping it in 80 proof alcohol for 8 weeks which creates a long-term remedy. (The essence is stored in a dropper bottle and is typically used after the capsules run out.) The benefits are similar to that of the capsules, and can help ease anxiety and emotional distress, reduce symptoms of PMS, and later in life can be used for menopause. An alcohol free option is available upon request.
