Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the mother’s placenta after the birth of her baby by dehydrating, powdering, and placing it into consumable capsules.The ingestion of the placenta is known as “ Placentophagy”. The purpose of Placentophagy is to help the mother reintroduce beneficial hormones, minerals, and other nutrients to help restore a more physical and emotional balance after birth.

​

Some benefits may include:

• Increased milk production

• Creating a consistent flow of oxytocin (the bonding and love hormone)

• Helping with mood and prevention of postpartum depression

• Replenishing iron levels

• Balancing out postpartum hormones until your body can regulate them on its own

• Warming the body, preventing a stagnation of energy

 

This sacred medicine that your body creates has been revered for its power, spirit and rich nutrients in cultures across the globe. It is our honor to provide your encapsulated placenta to you to support your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing after birth.
