Placenta Services

The Raw Method of encapsulation is well suited for mothers who practice a raw diet method. In this process, the placenta is never heated over 118 degrees which creates a very nutrient rich and hormone dense capsule. Using the raw method will also yield a higher amount of capsules.  We do not recommend the Raw Method for women with previous history of anxiety, insomnia, or jitters.

In the theory of Traditional Chinese method, practitioners feel that the process of laboring and giving birth leaves a great deal of open, empty spaces. These empty spaces are considered yin, or very cold. One way to promote healing during the cold postpartum period is to add yang, or heat, to balance the deficiency. For this reason, the placenta is lightly steamed before dehydration to provide warmth during the postpartum period.

Creating a tincture is a wonderful way to reap the physical benefits of the placenta once capsules are gone.  When stored properly, a tincture can last indefinitely and be used throughout the phases of a woman’s life to provide hormonal support during menses and menopause. A biological daughter can also benefit from her mother’s tincture as menstruation begins. The tincture can provide stabilization of her cycle and hormonal balance.
