What is placenta encapsulation?

Placenta encapsulation is a process of taking a fresh placenta and making it into pill form for ingestion by the birthing person. Many encapsulists will offer tincture, salve, smoothies, prints, cord-keepsakes and a print of the actual placenta.

Why do I need placenta encapsulation?

  • Baby-blues and various other postpartum disturbances have been notably reduced.
  • Hormones are assisted in their balancing.
  • Milk supply is often established early due to the Human Placental Lactogen (HPL) hormone found in the placenta pills.
  • Lower anemia findings because of iron replenishing that can also help fight depression, fatigue and poor concentration.
  • In general, birthing people report that they feel more emotionally balanced and have plenty of milk for their little ones. Many birthing people who have had a child before encapsulating with their next child notice a substantial difference in their post-partum healing.
  • (Placenta encapsulation has not been evaluated by the FDA)
