Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation is the process of washing the fresh placenta, slicing or steaming placenta, dehydrating, then grinding dehydrated placenta into powder and transferring into capsules.  The placenta can also be prepared into tinctures for prolonged usage, and eaten raw or cooked. All of these methods of placentophagia can have different benefits.

Placenta prints, tinctures, balm/salves, and cord keepsakes.

  • Placenta Printmaking turns your placenta into a piece of art for a permanent keepsake. Lightly painted on one side with food grade coloring (if extra color is wanted); water color or canvas paper is then firmly pressed against placenta.

  • Tinctures have a virtually endless shelf life, which makes adding a tincture a wonderful way to prolong the benefits of consuming your placenta.

  • Placenta salves can be beneficial with C-Section incisions, hemorrhoids, perennial tearing, diaper rash, sunburns and eczema (just to name a few). Using a small number of capsules can make a salve for future use. *Always patch test before full use

  • Umbilical cord keepsakes can be made by drying cord into a memorable shape, then put into a keepsake box.

Placenta Encapsulation FAQs

What are the possible benefits in using placenta encapsulation?

Some potential benefits are:

  • Lessening risk of baby blues through hormone replacement of placenta.

  • Replenishing iron

  • Provides you with continual flow of oxytocin

  • Provides HPL hormone (which stimulates lactation) for healthy milk supply

  • Provides energy through B-vitamins and protein

  • Less hormonal fluctuations

  • Provides natural pain relief

Will placenta encapsulation always provide the same benefits?

No, effects felt vary for each individual and there are no guarantees on preventing postpartum depression or increased milk supply.

Every placenta is different, but generally anywhere from 70-200 capsules.
