Placenta Encapsulation is an art form of processing the very special organ you have created during pregnancy. The placenta serves as the pathway between you and your baby; you share nutrients, blood, oxygen, and growth. Consuming it after birth can provide you with nutrients specially made for you – by you! The post-birthing time can be filled with emotional and energetic ups and downs and taking placenta capsules has been said to help birthing parents feel better and revitalized.

Chinese Medicine process includes “bringing warmth” to the placenta before dehydrating it. I steam it with warming herbs like ginger, lemon, and jalapeño. Then dehydrate and process it into capsules. This ensures those nutrients will return to your body, and hopefully stave off major postpartum emotional shifts.

The Raw method includes dehydrating and processing without warming it first. This method is said to be more potent in its affects, giving a bigger boost of energy.

You may also choose to do half TCM and half Raw methods.

Placenta Prints capture the unique Tree-of-Life quality of each individual placenta. I use watercolor paper to create these beautiful keepsakes. 

Placenta Tinctures are made by steeping a small portion of the placenta in 100% Neutral Grain Spirit. This offers the energetic effects of ingesting the raw placenta in liquid form. This medicine lasts indefinitely and can be used anytime you feel like you need a boost after birth (even long after your placenta pills are gone).
