Placenta Encapsulation
A thoughtful postpartum service designed to honor the placenta and support the transition after birth.
Placenta encapsulation is a personal postpartum choice. Kerri provides careful preparation and clear guidance for families who choose this service after birth.
What is placental encapsulation?
The placenta is prepared, dried, ground into a powdered form, and placed into vegetable capsules for postpartum use.
Placental encapsulation involves the drying of the placenta and grinding into a powdered form within a few hours after birth and pouring it into a vegetable capsule for consumption. Essentially, it is your placenta in a pill. You simply swallow the placenta capsule as you would your morning vitamins.
The placenta is large enough to produce a 30- to 60-day supply of placenta pills. Let us take a look at a few of the benefits that this process can offer.
