Why would someone encapsulate their placenta?
Encapsulating your placenta can be very beneficial for you postpartum. When it was within you, it
contained lots of minerals and hormones that supported your baby. After the birth, the placenta is still full of those nutrients and your body is going through huge changes. Encapsulating and consuming your placenta helps to return those nutrients and hormones to your body. This has been shown to increase energy and may decrease your chances of developing postpartum depression. It has also been reported to aid in building your milk supply. A lot of women have experienced a noticeable and relieving difference after beginning to take their personal placenta capsules.
If you would like your placenta encapsulated, I will take it home after your birth and dehydrate and encapsulate it. I’ll then pack the pills in a new glass jar and bring them to you at your convenience.
