placenta encapsulation
The placenta is a magnificent organ, rich in restorative nutrients, essential minerals and biogenetic hormones. Studies have shown that consuming the placenta, which contains these vital healing elements, can curb postpartum depression by restoring iron levels, help facilitate bonding between the mother and baby, increase milk production, boost the body's immunity to protect against infection, and slow postpartum hemorrhage.
The option of placentophagia provides women with a choice to naturally rehabilitate and replenish their postpartum bodies and to be proactive against many ailments that may arise during the postpartum period, restoring the health of the mother in the way nature has intended.
Having experienced a healthier, happier, and easier postpartum period with the help of my daughters placentas, I was able to focus on bonding with our new babies and building a lifetime relationship with them... making it not only beneficial to my personal physical, emotional, and mental health and as a new mom, but also the well-being of my children.

herbal placenta encapsulation
Tonification works in a number of ways to improve health and the overall condition of the body. Tonification helps in regulating the body's balance of Yin and Yang, promoting optimal functioning of the organs, and by stimulating the circulation of the blood, Qi.
This is the preparation method developed by Raven Lang, a midwife and TCM practitioner, in accordance with TCM principles and the specific needs of the postpartum period. It is the oldest-known and most commonly-used recipe for postpartum placenta preparation.
In TCM theory, the process of labor and birth leaves a lot of open, empty space, which is considered very yin, or cold. Therefore, one major way we can promote healing during the postpartum period is to add yang energy via heat. We therefore incorporate steam and warming herbs into the remedy, and the final result is warming, tonifying, and nourishing for the postpartum. Consuming tonified placenta, a Yang property, nourishes the blood and restores the energy, aiding the body's ability to establish a homeostatic Qi.
In the Traditional Chinese Medicine sense, tonification is a therapeutic treatment that nourishes and replenishes the Qi, blood, and the Yin and Yang of the body when they are deficient or weak.
A blessing of love and gratitude is said over your placenta before it is gently rinsed and cleansed. Your placenta is then lightly steamed in a lemon, ginger, hot green pepper, and garlic, infused bath to promote tonified properties. It is then divided into thin portions to prepare for drying. Dehydration of your placenta usually takes a full 12-18 hours using the Excalibur Dehydrator, one of the highest quality dehydrators on the market. In an effort to preserve the integrity of your placenta and in accordance with Living Food Standards, dehydration temperature does not exceed 118 degrees F. Your placenta is then ground into a fine power and then lovingly placed in individual Organic Vegetable Capsules.

raw placenta encapsulation
Therefore, in an effort to preserve an much of the essential benefits as possible, in Raw Placenta Encapsulation preparation, the steaming of your placenta is omitted altogether. It is believed that with a Raw method of encapsulation, the hormones and nutrients contained in the placenta will remain at optimal levels.
The Raw method is often used for clients who adhere to a Raw diet, which is based around the idea that heat destroys vital enzymes in food. All food preparation is restricted to temperatures less than 118 degrees F.
In accordance with Living/Raw Food Standards and beliefs, heating food above 115 degrees F can destroy vital vitamins and nutrients, affect the enzymes, and potentially destroy the life force of the food.

tincture of placenta
Tinctures are well renown for their efficacy, safety, and potency. While placenta capsules have a shelf life of about two years and eventually begin to loose their potency, a placenta tincture is a wonderful way of preserving your placenta indefinitely.
A placenta tincture is another amazing method of benefiting from your placenta's nutrients. Among the advantages of placenta tinctures are their ability to preserve the active constituents, ease of use, and their long shelf life.
A quarter sized, raw piece of placenta is taken from the maternal side and steeped in high grade alcohol essentially breaking it down and liquefying it while preserving the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. It becomes a potent extract that ultimately increases the benefits of your placenta and prolongs the benefits.
