PLACENTA ECAPSULATION
$375
Placenta Encapsulation is a modern method of placentophagia where the placenta is cleaned, dehydrated, ground, and placed in capsules for consumption by the mother postpartum. Placentophagia is a practice of most mammals, and many cultures today and throughout history. The theory behind placentophagia is that by consuming the placenta the mother's body can more easily assimilate the hormones, minerals, and nutrients within the organ to quickly, safely, and naturally reach hormonal balance. It is iron and nutrient dense and many report quicker healing, less bleeding, and increased energy.

The birthing person/mother/partner notifies us when they birth and we arrange for pick-up within 72 hours after birth.
