placenta encapsulation
The placenta is an extremely powerful and valuable medicine for postpartum mothers. I carefully prepare the fresh placenta into capsules using the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine for easy access to the healing power of the placenta. Full of "Ch'i" or "Life Energy", placenta medicine replaces depleted nutrients and dropped hormones levels after giving birth. Placenta medicine assists in emotional well-being during postpartum. It is used to decrease postpartum depression and fatigue, increase energy levels and breast-milk production, provide extra iron and minerals and balance the hormones.
Some of the known ingredients that give the placenta its healing properties are:
You will receive your placenta medicine in a brown glass jar, your baby's dried umbilical cord for a keepsake in a cloth pouch and guidelines for use.
The Logistics:
After you give birth, refrigerate your placenta in double ziplock bags by 3 hours postpartum. If you are birthing at the hospital or birth center, have family or friends bring your placenta home to your fridge, or have a small cooler and ice to store it in until you get home. Be sure your midwife or obstetrician and everyone involved with your birth is clear that you are keeping your placenta.
I come to your house to do the initial step of steaming the placenta as soon as possible. It takes about a half hour and I clean up thoroughly. I bring the placenta home to finish the process, and your medicine is usually complete within 2 days. I try to do the process as quick as possible so you can start your placenta medicine very soon after giving birth. All equipment used during placenta encapsulation is sterilized after each use, or disposable.

Placenta Medicine, My Story
 placenta |  capsules |
"I was immediately soothed by the placenta capsules, and my baby blues ended within the first few days. My energy started coming back, my milk came in full force, the after-pains faded, the bleeding got much lighter, my irritability went away and I was able to enjoy my new baby. My son seemed even calmer and happier after I started taking my encapsulated placenta. No wonder other mammals eat their placentas immediately after birth."
