Placenta Encapsulation is believed to have a number of wonderful benefits for postpartum women. Probably the most well known benefit is the potential to lessen or even prevent postpartum depression, but other advantages many women have reported is increased energy, faster recovery, increased milk supply and less postpartum bleeding.
There are two main techniques for Placenta Encapsulation, the Traditional Chinese Medicine method which incorporates the natural energy present in the placenta organ as part of therapy, and the Raw Method which specifically focuses on the potential nutritional and hormonal content of the placenta. I have been trained professionally in both techniques and currently do offer both types of placenta encapsulation.
The placenta is considered rich in iron and protein, which would be useful to women recovering from childbirth, and a particularly beneficial to vegetarian women. Pregnancy is taxing on the body, even if the mother follows the best of health regimes. The theory behind placentophagy is that you are returning the nutrients lost during the birth process back to the body to aide in quick and smooth postpartum recovery.
The benefits of placenta encapsulation include:
- Decrease in baby blues and postpartum depression.
- Increase and enrich breastmilk.
- Increase in energy.
- Decrease in lochia, postpartum bleeding.
- Decrease iron deficiency.
- Decrease insomnia or sleep disorders.
- The placenta’s hormonal make-up is completely unique to the mother. No prescription, vitamin or herbal supplement can do what one placenta pill can. How amazing is that?
Pricing for encapsulation:
- $180 for Raw Method
- $190 for TCM
