Placenta encapsulation is a traditional postpartum practice that prepares the placenta into easy-to-take capsules for use during the recovery period after birth. Many families choose placenta encapsulation as a natural way to support healing and adjustment in the early postpartum weeks.

​

How the Process Works:

After your baby is born, the placenta is carefully handled and prepared using safe food-grade practices. The placenta is first gently steamed with warming herbs such as ginger and lemon, then thinly sliced and dehydrated. Once fully dried, the placenta is ground into a fine powder and placed into vegetable capsules for convenient use. The finished capsules are returned to you along with guidance for storage and suggested intake.

 

Potential Benefits:

Many parents report positive postpartum support from placenta capsules, including:

Supporting balanced postpartum mood

Helping replenish iron lost during birth

Supporting milk production

Boosting energy during recovery

Supporting hormonal balance after birth

 

While research on placenta encapsulation is still evolving, many families find it to be a meaningful way to honor the placenta and support their postpartum healing journey.
