What is a placenta?

The placenta is an organ that develops in your uterus during pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to your growing baby and removes waste products from your baby's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of your uterus, and your baby's umbilical cord arises from it.

Placenta encapsulation is a process where a whole placenta is transformed into pills that can be taken postpartum. It's one of a few different ways to eat the placenta, but it's by far the most popular

The Raw method of encapsulating the placenta derives of cleaning the placenta and dehydrating to then create a grounded powder substance. The Traditional Chinese Method derives of cleaning the placenta, then placing it through a steaming process with ginger, pepper and select plant and herb extracts to then go on and dehydrate to create a grounded powder substance. The TCM is known by cultures to "warm" the body when ingested.

It is believed consuming the placenta can:
- Help to balance your hormones

- Replenish depleted iron levels

- Assist the uterus to return to it's pre pregnancy state

- Reduce post-natal bleeding

- Increase milk production

- This has been proven in a study to make for a happier, more enjoyable post natal period

- Increase your energy

- Decrease the risk of baby blues/post natal depression

It is recommended to consume the amount of capsules yielded within the first mnth, though many women only like to take them when;

- They feel they need it

- Take half and keep half for days where they are feeling down and a lack of energy (this can be months/years after giving birth)

- Some women like to keep an amount in the freezer, for when they are experiencing a change of life ie. menopause

How to take your capsules is entirely up to you, this isn't a prescribed drug, which will not and cannot cause an overdose effect.

You decide during pregnancy that you would like me to encapsulate your placenta, or perhaps you would like to purchase some of the other products I have to offer... either way, on booking, I will gather details such as your due date (which will indicate to me a time frame as to when I can expect a message from you to say you have had your baby) once I receive this message, I will collect your placenta from your place of birth, encapsulate and return back to you within 48 hours. Depending on location and time constraints, delivery of your order will be by hand or via express post.
