Placenta Encapsulation
The Method
As an Independent Placenta Service Specialist, Edna offers both the Traditional Chinese Method and the Raw Dehydration Method of preparation. Also available are Placenta Prints, Umbilical Keepsake, and Placenta Tincture.
Studies have shown that the placenta is extremely rich in nutrients. It is high in iron, protein, vitamins, minerals, as well as your own natural hormones—making it perfectly created for you, by you.
Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing a mother’s placenta directly following birth. Consuming one's placenta has been shown to replenish your body of what was lost during childbirth, as well as restore your overall balance. This includes stabilizing your hormones, which is known to reduce the effects of postpartum depression.
The Traditional Chinese Method first cooks the placenta with a mixture of lemon, ginger, and jalapeño peppers, while the Raw Dehydration Method leaves the placenta as is. Both procedures are then dehydrated and encapsulated.
Placenta capsules are used to:
- Balance your hormones
- Shorten healing time
- Increase milk supply
- Prevent and help treat postpartum depression
- Combat fatigue and increase energy
- Restore Iron depletion
- Decrease bleeding

After separating the placenta from the umbilical cord, it is thoroughly rinsed and prepared using either the Raw Dehydration Method or the Traditional Chinese Method. It is then dehydrated for 15-18 hours and powdered, to be placed into vegetarian, non-gelatin capsules for the mother to ingest.
PLACENTA TINCTURE

Tinctures are created using a small piece of raw placenta that is preserved in high grade alcohol. It is said that the tincture has many of the same benefits as the capsules with an indefinite shelf life that does not lose potency over time. Most mothers use the tincture for hormonal imbalance, PMS symptoms, milk supply drops, migraines, menopause, sleep issues, and during times of illness and stress.

UMBILICAL CORD KEEPSAKE
Before the encapsulation process begins, Placenta Prints are created using the blood on the surface of the placenta. They are created on high-quality, acid-free watercolor paper. The fetal side of the placenta shows the “tree of life” that helped to grow your precious new baby.
Note: There is no ink used in the print process so that the placenta can safely be consumed.

If left intact, the umbilical cord can be dehydrated and made into a heart shaped keepsake. Other shapes, letters, or words are possible pending size and condition of the cord.
