Your Placenta is More Powerful than You Know

WHY ENCAPSULATE MY PLACENTA?

Your placenta grew an entire human. It nourished, protected and connected you to your baby for nine months. What you do with it after birth is entirely your choice. More and more mamas are choosing to honor it rather than let it go.

Consuming the placenta may offer a range of physical benefits, as it's a rich source of essential nutrients, hormones and antibodies that can aid in your unique postpartum recovery. Research is still limited, but many proponents believe that placenta consumption can help regulate hormones, replenish depleted iron levels, boost energy, support lactation and decrease the likelihood of insomnia, baby blues and postnatal depression. It is a natural and holistic approach to self-care, offering a potential pathway to healing and rejuvenation after the birthing process.

 

We practice the traditional method, which includes properly cleaning and dehydrating your placenta along food-safe guidelines - then blending and encapsulating in vitamin-sized portions. A tincture is also available as an add-on, preserved in alcohol to harness the nutrients in your placenta for years to come.


Throughout history, the placenta has been recognized as a symbol of vitality and nourishment. It's the vessel that sustains and nurtures a growing life within the womb and serves as a lifeline between mother and child. By honoring this sacred organ through consumption, mothers embrace a profound connection to the primal forces that brought forth new life.


While the tradition of consuming the placenta may not always be widely understood or accepted, it is a personal choice rooted in reverence, nourishment and self-discovery, a testament to the deep connection to the natural processes that shape and celebrate the miracle of life. We're grateful to offer this sacred ritual as a beautiful way to nourish your body and honor the organ that grew new life.
