Gone are the days where you have to eat a raw placenta or placenta pie to gain the benefits this wonderful organ offers, unless of course that is what you want to do, the raw placenta has much stronger benefits than anything, although everything I do I make sure the temperature is as low as possible to not kill many of the nutrients.
What benefits does Placenta Encapsulation have?
~ reduced postpartum bleeding
~ increased energy
~ hormones rebalanced
~ increase in milk supply
~ uterus returns quicker to pre pregnancy state
~ reduces postpartum pain and discomfort
~ reduces risks of postpartum depression
These are just some of the wonderful things the placenta does after the birth of a child.
What is the difference between the raw method and the TCM method?
Traditional Chinese Medicine Method - The oldest method there is and also the most commonly used. The process of labour is considered Yin which means cold, it is believed the process of labour and birth leaves a lot of open, empty space. This process is Yang which means warm because of the spices, herbs and steaming involved in the encapsulation process. By adding this warm energy it is thought to aid postpartum healing further and for longer since some believe that since the raw method is considered cold it isn't suitable for longer term use (when period return, menopause etc)
We use ingredients such as lemongrass (or lemon when this is not available), ginger and peppers to add warm energy then steam the placenta, the steamed placenta is then dehydrated, ground and placed into capsules, the result is an energetically balanced placenta remedy that is nourishing, warming and tonifying.
Raw Method - This method is based on the more modern beliefs that heat destroys vital enzymes. When using this method I do not go above 50°C as many believe that the heat would kill lots of nutrients and the hormones we are trying to add back to the body. The placenta is then sliced and dehydrated (after being washed and vessels and membranes removed) then ground and put in capsules.
How would you like the placenta to be ground?
I can also do two different methods for this depending on your beliefs. Most commonly I use an electric grinder, however some people believe that this can add a bad energy to the pills a metal, frantic or anxious energy so to avoid this for those clients a mortar and pestle is used.
What is a tincture?
Placenta Tincture is made from a piece of the mother’s own raw placenta after birth, steeping in alcohol making a strong remedy over 6 weeks. It is said that placenta tincture is used for emotional, mental and psychological instability and may also be very beneficial for treating PMS and menopause. - IPEN
What is placenta balm??
Encapsulated placenta has many benefits including topical use. A placenta capsule can be opened and mixed with a natural oil to be applied directly to the skin. It is great for nappy/diaper rash, eczema, dry skin, bruises and many other skin problems. As with placenta capsule ingestion, placenta should not be used topically on any virus or bacterial infections. - Placenta Peace
How long does it take?
The absolute latest you will have your placenta capsules will be the 3rd day postpartum though I aim to have them back by the 2nd day, it is important I am notified as soon as possible after the birth so I can pick it up and return it sooner.
