Placenta

Encapsulation, Smoothies, Tincture, Salve, & Cord Keepsake.

Placentas are handled with care; from the moment of pickup to dropoff.

  • I believe love & respect are the basis to processing placentas. 

Prayer is involved throughout my process, as well as, Ca Food Safety & Handling Standards.

Dropoff takes place within 72 hours from Birth.

Capsules

Raw: $150

This method of preparing the placenta for encapsulation, skips the steaming process all together & is set for dehydration while still "RAW". Some people choose this method because they are raw food activists and believe the cooking or steaming process destroys some of the nutrients. 

​

During this COVID-19 Pandemic: Raw method will be started after a 14-day quarantine of the placenta in a Freezer.

​

*One Benefit: provides a higher number of capsules as there is no shrinkage from the steaming process. Which is why it's also called the "High Yield Method", & is more commonly chosen.

Capsules

TCM: $150

This method of preparing for encapsulation, involves steaming the placenta gently with herbs. **Recommended for GBS+ & other infections contracted during pregnancy.

​

During this COVID-19 Pandemic: TCM method can be started ASAP.

​

I use Ginger, Lemon, & can add Jalapeños by request. Putting the herbs in the steaming process is thought to bring out the placenta's natural healing properties.

  • Lemon is thought of as an Antiseptic & helps to distribute the Placenta throughout the body.

  • Ginger is a warming, soothing herb, & specifically acts as a facilitator for energy & proper circulation.

  • Jalapeños are considered tonifying for people who tend to be: Cold, Sluggish, or Phlegmy. *Spicy peppers can encourage digestion and increase Metabolism.

Just like anything cooked, may cause some nutrient loss & shrink placenta. *Yields less capsules than Raw method.

Smoothie Prep

$50

A small thumbnail portion of raw placenta is easily blended in with any smoothie recipe. 

*Mothers note that the taste  is unnoticeable.

  • Homebirths: A smoothie made the day of prepping can be prepared & given.

  • Birth Center/Hospital births: Prepping is available for placentas released within 48hrs after birth.

About 14 pieces are individually prepared, wrapped, and stored for use.
