Placenta Encapsulation & Remedies
Consumption of the placenta (placentophagy) has been observed in nearly all mammals. In traditional Chinese medicine, the use of the placenta has been documented since 1578.
Women across many cultures consider that the unique properties of the placenta make it the perfect postpartum food.
Your placenta can also be used to create tinctures, balms, essences, homeopathic remedies, and smoothies.

- Reduce the duration and volume of postpartum blood loss
- Encourage your body's healing and reduce pain
A little feedback
“I had my placenta encapsulated after both my births’. I found the capsules very supportive. My milk flowed, and my mood was very stable. If there was a day when I felt I needed support, I would take a capsule and it really picked me up. "
