Placenta Encapsulation
Your placenta contains many nutrients that can help you heal postpartum. Some benefits may include:
​
-
Quicker recovery physically
-
Improved mood and outlook; less postpartum depression and anxiety
-
Increased milk supply
-
Decreased postpartum bleeding, increased uterine tone
I prepare placenta in the traditional Chinese medicine way. First, I rinse and lightly steam the placenta with lemon, cayenne pepper and ginger. These herbs help in digestion and assimilaton. Then the placenta is placed in a dehydrator for several hours. I grind it and encapsulate in gelatin capsules. Then I deliver it to you!
All of the tools I use in this process are dedicated to placenta preparing and are sanitized thoroughly. The cost is $200 including pick up and delivery.
If you would like, I can also dehydrate your umbilical cord in a heart-shape for a keepsake.
