BORN WITH HOPE      MIDWIFERY 

Placenta encapsulation is a process of preparing the placenta after birth by dehydrating, grinding, and placing it into capsules for consumption. It is believed to have various benefits such as increasing milk production, reducing postpartum depression, increasing oxytocin release to help with bonding, and replenishing iron levels.

​

Suggestion:  if this is your last pregnancy we recommend having part of your placenta made into a tincture.  The tincture can be saved in a cool dark place and used during menopause to help with hormone balance and hot flashes.
