Placenta Encapsulation

 

Placenta encapsulation is the practice of ingesting the placenta after it has been steamed, dehydrated, ground, and placed into pills. Traditionally, this is taken by the mother and is believed to impart numerous health benefits.

Safety

 

Placenta Encapsulation Specialists provide the highest standards of care. Requirements set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO), The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are upheld, ensuring professionalism and trust in this service.

What Can I Expect?

 

The Placenta Encapsulation Specialist will either come to your home to complete your placenta service or will take your placenta to her own home. Once done, your capsules, care instructions, and suggested usage information will be ready and waiting for you.

Benefits of Encapsulating Your Placenta

  • Increased release of the hormone oxytocin, which helps the uterus return to normal size and encourages bonding with the infant
