Placenta Encapsulation
What is the benefits of encapsulating your placenta?
During pregnancy, the placenta produces many useful hormones, & when a mother births her placenta, she loses those hormones. It can often take 6 months to a year for the body to balance these hormones again. However when you take your placenta pills it helps reintroduce these hormones into the mother's body faster in small doses, until her body resumes its natural hormonal balance. At the time of delivery, a woman's hormonal levels are three times greater than normal, in which she has nine months to adapt. However, after delivery, a woman only has hours to adapt to drastically declining hormone levels. Encapsulating your placenta will guide your body back to it's pre-labor state & help assist with your postpartum health!
How does ingesting my placenta help with postpartum depression, stress, and energy levels?
The placenta produces stress fighting hormones the help mother and baby. Once the placenta is no longer present, it can take months for the brain and body to level out those hormones. During this time, the instability can cause depression and low energy levels. One of the hormones that help with depression in the placenta is called the Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone. The secretion of CRH releases other hormones, including cortisol, which helps us fight stress. During the last weeks of pregnancy, the placenta secretes a lot of CRH into the blood stream. However, after birth, the levels remain low because the placenta is no longer there. Therefore, ingesting your placenta will help raise the levels of CRH naturally, which will increase cortisol to fight stress and postpartum depression. The placenta also produces the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, which regulates the thyroid gland, boosts energy, and supports recovery from stressful events.
How does ingesting my placenta help with iron deficiency& fatigue?
In a typical delivery a mother can lose around 500+ cc of blood, which can cause low iron levels. Having low iron often results in lower hormone levels, fatigue, lack of concentration, and depressive symptoms. Your placenta contains hemoglobin which is a protein that replenishes iron deficiency and anemia. The placenta is rich in iron and consuming it can help avoid the risk of iron deficiency, the main symptom of postpartum fatigue & depression.
How does ingesting my placenta help with my milk supply?
Some mothers who are stressed after labor can also have the challenge of having a low milk supply. While this may seem like a helpless feeling, the good news is consuming your placenta can increase your milk supply! Your placenta contains a hormone called prolactin, which stimulates healthy mammary function and milk production. The hormone oxytocin is also in your placenta, which creates a feeling of happiness and bonding with your baby.
How does ingesting your placenta help with pain relief & help your Immune system?
Often mothers that ingest their placenta say they have to take little to no pain relievers. The reason for this is the placenta stimulates the production of your bodies natural opioids, including endorphins; reducing pain and increasing well-being. Oxytocin, a hormone we already discussed with nursing, also helps alleviate pain. Not only does the placenta produce hormones to relieve pain, but also Immunoglobulin which boost the immune system.
What do you get when you encapsulate?
Encapsulated Placenta pills: about100-200 (depending on the size of your placenta) nutrient rich encapsulated placenta pills.
Tincture: The Placenta tincture is an added bonus in that it can be used in addition to and long after the capsules are gone. By tincturing a small piece of the placenta in a high grade alcohol, you can increase the length and benefits of your placenta for both mother and child. The tincture can be used in any time of trauma, transition, emotional distress and for mother later in life during menopause and even turned into a homeopathic remedy!

What is the process to properly prepare your placenta?
Once you’ve hired me all I require is that you tell your care provider you are encapsulating & then you are going to bring a small cooler with you when you give birth. I will then come to your birthing place & pick up your placenta. When I prepare the placenta for encapsulationI will first wash the placenta and inspect it. I then use the Chinese medicine way of preparing the placenta by steaming it for 30 minutes to kill any bacteria. Then if you dehydrate it for a minimum of 1 hour at 160 degrees it will kill any bacteria on the placenta. We are require to dehydrate for a 24 hours to assure all bacteria is killed while preserving the beneficial hormones. After it is properly processed I put the placenta powder in pill form & deliver to your house about 3 days later.
