Dont let your placenta go to waste!

Drawing from a time-honored tradition deeply embedded in Chinese Medicine, placenta consumption has amassed compelling experiential evidence attesting to its incredible benefits. Throughout pregnancy, your placenta takes the reins in hormone production, assuming control from the second trimester onward. Post-birth, your body undergoes a 6-8 week period before resuming its natural hormone production. Introducing placenta pills into your postpartum recovery can play a supportive role, helping to stabilize your body during this transition and promoting a smoother return to hormonal balance.

Why Use Placenta 

       Placentophagia, or the consumption of the placenta, has a long history of traditional use spanning hundreds of years, particularly for its various beneficial effects during the postpartum period.

​

The placenta is a remarkable organ, created by the body during pregnancy to sustain the baby's life in the womb. It contains exceptionally high concentrations of essential hormones, iron, B vitamins, and micronutrients, surpassing those found in many plant or animal species. As these vitamins and nutrients are naturally produced by the mother's body, consuming them in pill form allows for easy absorption, converting them into vital energy. 

 

 It initiates hormone production as early as 6 – 8 weeks into gestation, contributing to the support of pregnancy. By the third trimester, the levels of hormones in a pregnant woman's body can reach three times the normal amount.

 

Following childbirth, typically between day 3-5 postpartum, these hormone levels experience a substantial decline, returning to pre-pregnancy levels and often coinciding with the onset of the 'baby blues.' This is where the balancing properties of the placenta does its magic!

Placenta Services

Steamed Method: In the steaming process, the placenta undergoes a gentle steaming for 15 minutes. Following the steaming, the placenta is thinly sliced and made ready for dehydration, a process lasting approximately 12-18 hours, contingent on the placenta's size. This method is gentler and typically preferred for hormone balancing, or of you are easily over stimulated.  This method is recommended for clients testing positive for Group B Strep, those diagnosed with an STD, or when meconium is present in the amniotic fluid.

 

Raw Method: For the raw method, the placenta is thinly sliced and prepared for dehydration, undergoing the drying process for approximately 16-24 hours. This method is acknowledged for yielding slightly more potent pills compared to the steamed method and produces a higher quantity of capsules. Raw is more potent, and often preferred for increased energy and milk production
