Placenta Encapsulation

What is PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION?
 
 
 

By encapsulating your placenta you are opening your body up to a world full of goodness.
Women who have consumed their placentas have:
Reduced postnatal  bleeding
Increased energy levels
Increased milk supply
Reduced chance of postnatal depression
Reduced baby blues experiences
Increased iron levels
Help balancing hormones
Plus many more benefits

WHO CAN ENCAPSULATE A PLACENTA?Technically anybody can encapsulate a placenta but some people like myself have had or are doing special training and are called Placenta Encapsulation Specialists, usually these people (like myself) also team this course up with a food handlers certificate and a bloodborne pathogens certificate.
By having the proper training I feel more confident in encapsulating knowing I have been trained to do so properly as so many things can go wrong from just watching a YouTube video.
 
 
 

 
WHEN DOES PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION HAPPEN?Ideally the placenta is received within 24 hours and then the encapsulation process will take another 24 hours, if the placenta has been frozen the process will take a little longer. I aim to have placentas that I have been delivered or have picked up within 24 hours of birth back to the client by postpartum day 3 as around day 4-5 you will most likely feel your worst.
