Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation is offered using one of two established methods: steamed or raw. Both are prepared with careful handling, food-safety protocols, and attention to postpartum recovery needs. The method used is always your choice.

Steamed Method
The steamed method is rooted in traditional postpartum care practices that recognize birth as a physically depleting event. Labor and birth place significant demands on the body, often leaving it depleted of warmth, blood volume, and fluids. In this method, the placenta is gently steamed with warming herbs prior to dehydration. This process is intended to support warmth, nourishment, and grounding during the postpartum period, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a tonifying and restorative preparation.

Raw Method
The raw method preserves the placenta without steaming or herbs prior to dehydration. This approach is chosen by those who prefer minimal processing, as it retains more of the placenta’s original components. By avoiding heat, this method maintains a higher concentration of naturally occurring enzymes, hormones, and nutrients present at the time of birth.

The choice between methods can be made after birth, allowing you to decide based on how you are feeling physically and emotionally in the immediate postpartum period.
