Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation is the process of transforming the placenta into pill form for postpartum consumption, a practice believed to offer several health benefits to new mothers. The process involves steaming, dehydrating, and grinding the placenta before placing it into capsules. Advocates of placenta encapsulation suggest that it can help replenish iron level, reduce postpartum bleeding, and balance postpartum hormones, potentially alleviating symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety. Additionally, some women report increased energy levels and improved lactation. By encapsulating the placenta, new mothers may experience a smoother recovery and enhanced overall well-being during the postpartum period.
