Placenta Capsules

   
   
This method usually produces around 125-200 capsules, depending on the size of your placenta. There are many benefits to consuming your placenta immediately after birth; balances hormones and emotions, increases iron levels, and lactation support - to just name a few.  Saving in the freezer will allow you to have the benefits later; when your cycle returns, when you need PMS support and/or for cramps.  You can even save them for menopause!

Raw vs. Steamed

Often the question comes up regarding the difference between encapsulating raw vs steamed. Below you will find a brief description of both; along with pros and cons to each option.

Raw

The placenta is rinsed, gently sliced, and dehydrated at 160 degrees for 4 hours and reduced to 125 degrees until finished. 

+ Highest potency of the nutritents and hormones.
+ High capsule yield.
+ Potentially gives the mother more energy. 
​- With a lack of heat, bacteria may not be destroyed during preparation. 
-  Can be too strong for women who suffer from anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders.

Steamed

Traditionally called the TCM method - the placenta is rinsed, steamed, gently sliced, and dehydrated at 160 for 4 hours and reduced to 125 degrees until finished.
​
+  Is thought to be more gentle - warming to the body.
+ More likely to kill any bacteria.
+ Most commonly used. 
- Placenta is exposed to potentially harmful heat.
-  Smaller capsule yield.  

So.... which is better?

In my experience I have found the results from both methods to be quite similar. 
​ There are pros and cons with each method depending on the mother's needs, beliefs, and opinions.

Placenta Tincture

• Placenta tincture is an added bonus that can be used in addition to and long after the capsules are gone. By tincturing a small piece of the placenta in a high grade alcohol, you can prolong the benefits of your placental hormones. The tincture can be used in any time of trauma, transition, emotional distress, and during menopause to ease your symptoms.


• The tincture is allowed to sit for at least six – eight weeks before use. It is very shelf-stable if kept in a cool dark place such as a cupboard, and will last for many, many years.
• ​
• Dosage is 7 – 10 drops of tincture in a full glass of juice. At this dilution, the alcohol has no intoxicating effects. It is less alcohol than cough medicine contains. If you prefer to reduce the alcohol even further, you can place the drops in a cup of boiling tea, “burning” off the alcohol, then cooling before ingesting.

Placenta Salve

• Your own superfine placenta powder is infused into a high quality salve base, with or without your choice of essential oils. We use a luxurious organic base as our carrier because it is non-sensitizing, good smelling, food based, and can penetrate deep    under the surface of the skin. The Salve base is made of: Organic shea butter, organic macadamia nut oil, organic coconut oil, organic locally farmed beeswax, and vitamin E.
• ​
• Placenta has long been used in skincare for its healing and restorative properties.   There are a number of expensive anti-aging lotions and creams containing “sheep placenta extract” as the secret ingredient. Your own placenta is much more potent and completely safe to use topically when properly prepared.
  

​
​Placenta salve can be used for: Cesarean and other and surgical scars (wait until wounds have closed); Perineal tears (wait until stitches dissolve); Diaper rash; As a general healing and skin-care salve.
