What is it?
Placenta encapsulation is the process of taking the amazing, nutrient-rich placenta, and turning it into a capsule-pill for women to ingest during the postpartum period. The method* used is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I was trained and certified through PBi -Placenta Benefits, and follow OSHA guidelines for food safety (Certified Food Safety Manager).
Why?
Placenta capsules have been shown to balance hormones, enhance milk supply, decrease postpartum bleeding, and increase your energy level. For centuries, Traditional Chinese Medicine used (and still uses) the placenta to treat fatigue and insufficient lactation. It makes for a more gentle postpartum recovery, naturally. The placenta is an amazing organ that was created by you, and it's postpartum benefits should not be disregarded.
Important: the capsules should not replace the help of a mental health professional if you have a history of depression, or have symptoms of postpartum depression.
Where?
This is a two day process that is done in your home. I come to you! I use my own supplies, all I need is the use of your kitchen for a few hours. The first day I will prepare your placenta for the drying process. This step takes approximately 2 hours. I will return the following day to grind the placenta pieces into a coarse powder, and put them into vegetarian capsules. This last step takes approximately 1 hour. Ideally, the placenta will be fresh, within 24-48 hours of delivery, but it can also be done if frozen.
How much?
You will get approximately 100-200 capsules, depending on the size of the placenta, to use for your postpartum recovery. You may also save them for future use like menopause. The fee for this service is $200. (additional mileage fees may apply). Payment is due when you receive your pills. Included are dosing guidelines, placenta prints, and energy broth if desired, as well as a keepsake pouch for the dried cord.
What's the first step?
Contact me with your name, estimated due date, address, phone number, and place of birth. Let your care provider, and hospital know that you are planning to keep your placenta for encapsulation. The placenta should be refrigerated as soon as possible. Once the baby is born call me at 401-338-9525, and we will schedule a time for me to come over and start the process. If anyone referred you, please let me know so that I may thank them! Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
*If you would like to have different, or additional preparation methods (ie raw, tincture, stew) let me know in advance.
I look forward to helping you have a happy, healthy, and natural postpartum recovery!
Testimonials about my Placenta Encapsulation Services:
"The placenta pills have been amazing. Since this was my first baby, obviously I have no basis of comparison but I truly feel like they made a big difference for me. There were a few days that were such a blur the first week we were home - I felt even more exhausted, I was moody and extra emotional. Then I realized I had forgotten to take my placenta pills!! So I Immediately started writing down when I had taken them to help myself keep track.
I can't thank you enough for all you did. I enjoyed getting to watch part of the encapsulation process. This is clearly something that you are passionate about and I was glad to spend some time with you while you were here working. You helped educate me about placenta benefits and I have been passing along much of that information to visitors!" ~ M.B.
