Placenta Encapsulation
Placental encapsulation is the practice of ingesting the placenta after it has been steamed, dehydrated, ground, and placed into pills. Traditionally, this is taken by the mother and is believed to impart numerous health benefits. In some cultures, it is considered completely normal. The entire process is finished within 2 - 4 days after giving birth.

Methods for Placenta Encapsulation
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice teaches that the placenta brings balance to a mother’s system after birth. The process includes steaming the placenta first as a “warming” remedy which nourishes the blood and restores balance. TMC practice believes that mother’s body and immunity is reduced after birth and can be restored by adding heat through the steaming. This method has been shown to provide calming effects and may reduce chances of postpartum depression. TMC is a good option for mothers who are typically high-energy, have experienced anxiety, or are sensitive to hormones.
TMC Process
The placenta is gently steamed to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for a warming effect (lemon and ginger can be added to water upon request), sliced thin, and dehydrated at 145 degrees Fahrenheit. It is then ground into a powder and put into vegetarian capsules.
Modified Raw Method
The Raw Method is a newer practice, it preserves more of the placenta’s hormone contact. Mothers often report distinct energy boosts and improved mood after consumptions. Raw Method is a good option for mothers that have experienced postpartum hemorrhaging or heavy bleeding, who seek to increase their milk supply, or desire increased energy. This method is not recommended for mothers are who naturally high-energy, have experienced anxiety, or are sensitive to hormones.
Modified Raw Method Process
The placenta is gently cleaned, sliced thin, and then dehydrated at 160 degrees Fahrenheit. It is then ground into a powder and put into vegetarian capsules. This method typically yields 20% more pills than TMC processing.
