Placenta Medicine

IMG_3195.JPG

Ingestion of the placenta is an ancient practice with powerful healing properties. It has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries to treat adrenal fatigue, low immune function, pallor, depression, hair loss, infertility and menopause. Preparation of the placenta may include steaming, dehydrating and grinding it into capsules that can be stored indefinitely. Once you have healed from birth and postpartum you can freeze and save the capsules for menopause. The placenta is a perfect adaptogenic medicine, made by your own body just for you.

Many women choose to have their placenta encapsulated to assist in their postpartum healing process. While I cannot guarantee any specific outcomes the feedback I have received from my clients include benefits such as increased energy levels, faster healing after birth, feelings of strength and overall well-being, increased milk production, stronger immune system, emotional and hormonal balancing, less depression and anxiety, halting hair loss and restoring sex drive. The encapsulation services include placenta pills, tincture, prints and an umbilical cord keepsake.
