Placenta Encapsulation

In the postpartum period, placenta capsules are taken for some of the following benefits:

  • More energy by replenishing B Vitamins
  • Increase in production of breast milk by providing hormones lactogen and prolactin
  • Decrease in post natal depression
  • Increase in iron from blood loss 
  • Better sleep 
  • Balance out hormone levels
  • Provide natural pain relief from birthing process

 

Placenta Tincture

The tincture can be used in addition to your capsules and provides different healing properties for mom and baby.

 

The tincture is made with a piece of the placenta and 100 proof alcohol. It takes approximately 6 weeks to cure and if stored properly can last a lifetime.

 

Some of the benefits of the tincture:

  • Balance postpartum hormonal fluctuations
  • Help reduce symptoms of PMS
  • Soothe indigestion for mom and baby
  • Decrease insomnia and sleep disorders
  • Ease childhood infections (rashes)
  • Reduce colic and teething in baby

    Doula clients-  If I am at your birth and take the placenta home with me, there is no charge for placenta pick up and capsule drop off. I will bring the capsules to your home, depending on where you live, or meet a friend/family member within a few days after the birth. 

     

    Non-doula clients- We will discuss the proper procedures to make sure your placenta is handled appropriately after birth for encapsulation and make arrangements for pick up/delivery. If you reside outside of a 30 mile radius from my home, I will pick up the placenta and drop off capsules for an added fee.
