Why should I encapsulate & consume my placenta?

Nearly every mammal on earth consumes their placenta after giving birth and many human cultures around the world routinely do too! There are many reasons why – here are some of the most commonly reported benefits in humans:

• Increased energy and alertness
• Better overall mood
• Fewer instances of “baby blues”
• Feeling more balanced or centered
• Increased milk supply

The Encapsulation Process

We process placentas for encapsulation using a technique based on the Traditional Chinese Medicinal Method

• We start by gently prepping and steaming the placenta over a pot filled with lemon, jalapeno, and ginger
• The placenta is then sliced thinly and set to dehydrate for up to 24 hours
• Once it is fully dry, it is ground into a fine powder and filled into vegetarian capsules which are then stored in a glass jar
• The capsules are then taken by the birthing parent as needed
