Placenta Encapsulation


After delivery, replenish hormones, iron and other nutrients specifically produced by your body by having your placenta encapsulated. The process, inspired by Traditional Chinese medicine
​ involves steaming, drying and filling capsules with your placenta.
Picture
Benefits of taking the Placenta ​may include
  • Reduced post-partum bleeding
  • Increased milk supply
  • Increased energy
  • Helping to balance and regulate hormone levels 
  • Reduction in baby-blues
  • Providing natural pain relief from the labor and birthing process
  • Helps your uterus return to pre-pregnancy size
  • Increased sense of well-being from your body’s own oxitocin (the bonding and euphoric hormone)
  • Replenishing your B-Vitamins and other important post-baby nutrients
  • Replenishing iron lost from birth and preventing post-birth anemia
  • Increased immunities

What's in the placenta that can benefit me?
  • Prolactin (produces breast milk)
  • Oxyocin (bonding, well-being)
  • Cortisone (reduces stress by lowering cortisol)
  • Interferon (infection prevention, immune stimulation)
  • Prostaglandins (reduce inflammation)
  • Hemoglobin (replenishes iron)
  • Gammaglobulin (immune booster, prevents infection)
  • Thyroid stimulating hormone (helps with stress, weight regulation)
  • Gonadotrophin (precursor to many hormones)
  • Urokinase inhibiting factor XIII (wound healing and reduction of bleeding)
  • HPL (stimulates milk production)
  • POEF (increases natural endorphins)
