About Placenta Encapsulation
What is placenta encapsulation?
Placental encapsulation is the practice of ingesting the placenta after it has been steamed, dehydrated, ground, and placed into pills. Traditionally, the pills are taken by the mother and it is believed to impart numerous health benefits. It is frequently taken shortly after giving birth, during a woman’s menstrual period, or during menopause with the belief that it helps counter some of the symptoms of menopause.
Benefits of placenta encapsulation
Tradition and holistic medical customs embrace a number of potential advantages which come from ingesting the placenta.
Among these possible benefits are:
Increased release of the hormone oxytocin, which helps the uterus return to normal size and encourages bonding with the infant
A decrease in postpartum depression levels
Restoration of iron levels in the blood
Increase in milk production
Increase in CRH, a stress-reducing hormone
Women have also reported benefits such as:
An increase in energy
Quicker post-birth heal and recovery
More mental clarity
Improved sleep
There is little research available to either support or oppose the tradition of placental encapsulation. However there are a number of benefits of the custom, and limited risks if the placenta is stored correctly and ingested only by the mother.
Testimonials
“Having done placenta encapsulation after all three of my kids, I definitely believed that it helped me regulate my emotions and help me fight off those baby blues. ”
“I encapsulated my placenta with baby 2 and 3, and noticed a great difference in my recovery compared to when my first was born. I took the pills as directed and I felt like I had lots of energy, felt upbeat and happy, and enjoyed a large milk supply. I truly feel that the placenta pills played a big part in such great recoveries and I would for sure do it all over again if I had more kids.
Placenta pills paired with 3 days of staying in bed and resting my body was the perfect way to recover and ready myself for the big job ahead. ”
