Placenta Encapsulation
How can a Placenta Encapsulation help me and my baby?
Placenta Encapsulation...
For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has recognized the placenta as powerful medicine used to increase scanty lactation and tonify Qi, life energy, after birth. Today, many women look to placenta encapsulation as a natural way to even their hormones after birth and avoid postpartum depression. We use traditional methods to dehydrate, powder, and encapsulate the placenta.

Each placenta is different in size and substance so the amount of capsules it makes can vary from 90 to 140. The standard dosage is up to 2 capsules, 3 times a day for the first 2 weeks. After 2 weeks you can start to decrease the dosage down to 1 or 2 pills a day as needed. By ingesting your placenta in pill form you can reap the benefits of your placenta medicine without the aversion that some people feel about cooking and eating it after the birth. Additionally, you get a longer, sustained application over the first month postpartum than if it was ingested immediately after the birth. Some people even save some of their remaining placenta capsules and freeze them for later, knowing they can be useful during other physically/hormonally stressful times.
Placenta Encapsulation: The Dehydration Method
This method is different from the traditional method in that the placenta is not steamed or cooked in any way before dehydrating. It is still dried, powdered and encapsulated and the dosage is similar but mothers who utilize this method often report a more immediate and intense energy burst after taking these placenta pills.
This method is a good option for those who are particularly interested in the freshest hormonal benefits of placenta encapsulation. There are however, some situations where dehydration encapsulation would not be ideal, like if the mother had a suspected infection during labor or has a history of anxiety, insomnia or hyperthyroidism.
