Placenta Encapsulation
During birth, the placenta maintains its connection to the womb as long as possible, sustaining life until the baby's arrival into the outside world. Once the baby is born, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall and is also born.
Your placenta was created by you, for you and your baby. It can safely be turned into a hormonal supplement that was tailored just for you. Having your placenta turned into capsules can be one of the most valuable things you can do for yourself after birth.
When consumed postpartum, many of our Moms have reported benefits they experienced from consuming their placenta. Those benefits have included:
+Lessing the chances of experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety
+An increase of breastmilk production with moms also reporting that they produce a “fattier” milk
+Sped up uterine healing and recovery
+Increasing energy levels, especially during those first few weeks of little sleep
+Balanced mood and hormones
+Increased libido
+Decrease in postpartum bleeding
+Enhancing one’s overall feeling of wellness after birth
If you're interested in placenta encapsulation, it's never Too Early In your pregnancy to reach out, and if you're already in labor it's NoT Too LaTE!

What is the difference between the Raw and Traditional Chinese Preparation Method?
Raw Method is a preparation method that involves cutting, dehydrating, and encapsulating the placenta. Forgoing steaming you are able to save vital nutrients and hormones that may be depleted. Placentas prepared Raw have often yielded more capsules. Moms that have previously or are suffering from depression or anxiety may want to consider choosing the Steaming Method for its gentler properties.
Traditional Chinese Method is the oldest-known and most often used recipes for postpartum placenta preparation. The TCM believes that the process of labor and birth leaves a lot of open, empty space in your body which is considered very yin, or cold. One major way we can promote healing during the postpartum period is to add yang energy, or heat. In steaming (with lemon, ginger, and cayenne pepper)your placenta for 30 minutes, we not only add the heat, but we kill off any bacteria that may have come into contact with your placenta.
