Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the placenta after the baby's birth. The ingestion of the placenta is known as “placentophagy.” The purpose of placentophagy is to reintroduce beneficial vitamins, minerals, hormones, and other nutrients to help restore a more balanced body function, increase breastmilk production, shorten healing time, increase energy levels, and provide an overall feeling of wellness to aid in the transition between pregnancy and the early postpartum period.

I prepare the placenta according to your preference. With Traditional Chinese Medicine, I gently steam the placenta, slice it thinly, and dehydrate it. With the Raw method, I simply slice it thinly, and dehydrate it. When it is completely dry, I powder and encapsulate it.

Turn around time is typically about 48 hours.
