Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation is a natural postpartum tradition that transforms the placenta into easy-to-take capsules after birth. The placenta, an incredible organ that develops during pregnancy, provides oxygen, nutrients, and hormonal support to your baby for nine months. Through a careful preparation process—including cleaning, steaming, dehydrating, grinding, and encapsulating—the placenta is preserved in capsule form for the birthing parent to use during postpartum recovery.

​

Many families choose placenta encapsulation as part of their postpartum care for its potential benefits, which may include supporting hormonal balance, replenishing iron levels, boosting energy, and easing the emotional transition after birth. Each placenta is handled with respect, sanitation, and professional preparation practices to ensure a safe and thoughtful process.

This practice offers a meaningful way to honor the powerful role the placenta played in sustaining your baby while supporting your own healing and recovery after birth.
