Placenta Encapsulation

Picture

Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the mother’s placenta after the birth of her baby(ies) (by separating the membranes and umbilical cord from the placenta and rinsing and draining maternal and fetal blood) and dehydrating it to then be ground and placed into capsules for the mother to ingest as she sees fit. 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 to her body following labor and birth to help restore a more balanced body function, prevent “baby blues” and the more serious postpartum depression, increase breast-milk production, shorten healing time, increase maternal energy levels, and provide an over-all feeling of wellness to aid in the transition between pregnancy and the early postpartum period in the woman who has just given birth.

The Encapsulation Service includes:

     Pick-up of placenta(s) to be encapsulated
     The full placenta preparation and encapsulation process
     Proper storage container of the completed placenta pills
     Written instructions for proper storage and handling of the finished placenta pills
     Suggestions for ingestion amounts
     Delivery or pick-up of the finished placenta pills to the client
