Placenta Encapsulation

Are you pregnant and thinking about having your placenta encapsulated?

First of all, let's discuss what placenta encapsulation really is.

 

Placenta encapsulation is simply the act of gently cleaning the placenta, cutting it into strips, dehydrating it, grinding it into powder and then putting it into capsules.

 

Your next questions is probably: "How can taking placenta pills enhance my postpartum experience?"

 

Placenta capsules are used to help:

• balance your hormones
• prevent the "baby blues" and postpartum depression
• increase energy
• combat fatigue
• replenish depleted iron
• shorten postpartum bleeding
• increase milk supply 

 

 

For many people, the idea of ingesting their own placenta is enough to make their stomach churn. But why is this? I believe if we were more educated on the benefits, more people would seek out this option and women would experience easier postpartum transitions. Other cultures and mammals are doing it - what have you got to lose?

 

Coming from Megan, mom of three, "I'd much rather have the capsules and not need them, instead of deciding not to do it, and end up regretting my decision later."

 

If you think about it, what new mom wouldn't want their postpartum experience enhanced?
