Placenta Services

The placenta is an organ that develops in your uterus during pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to your growing baby and removes waste products from your baby's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of your uterus, and your baby's umbilical cord arises from it. You can do many things with your placenta. Let’s explore below!

Placenta Encapsulation is being touted as a new trend, however, the practice goes back centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. So, what exactly is placenta encapsulation and what benefits can you derive from it. Placenta encapsulation is the process where the placenta is turned into a powder form and put into pill capsules to be ingested postpartum. The notion behind ingesting your own placenta postpartum is that, as a remarkable organ full of nutrients that nourished the baby, it can also provide nutrients to the mother after birth --the main nutrient being iron. In addition to iron, the placenta is full of vitamins and minerals such B6 and B12, as well as hormones like progesterone and estrogen. These reproductive hormones drop after you give birth. Many who have tried these placenta pills have said that their moods are better, their energy is increased, they feel less fatigued, and their milk supply is boosted. They also report that placenta encapsulation helped them avoid postpartum depression. In other words, placenta pills can help you have a smoother recovery postpartum. These benefits have not been studied in clinical trials.

Placenta Tincture can stabilize hormones and increase energy levels. It can be used during times of stress or transition. It is an excellent option for those wanting a remedy to support them through menopause. It is steeped in high-quality Vodka for a minimum of 6 weeks. As long as it is stored properly it does not expire.

Placenta prints and paintings are wonderful keepsakes for this amazing organ that was your baby’s best friend for all that time. We use canvas or watercolor paper and we have this done for you within 6-8 weeks of birth.
