What is placenta encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the mother’s placenta after the birth of her baby(ies) by separating the membranes and umbilical cord from the placenta and rinsing and draining maternal and fetal blood and dehydrating it to then be ground and placed into capsules for the mother to ingest as she sees fit. The ingestion of the placenta is known as “placentophagy.” The purpose of placentophagy by the mother is to reintroduce the beneficial vitamins, minerals, hormones, proteins, and other nutrients to her body following labor and birth to help restore a more balanced body function. Sabrina Harroun is a trained specialist who holds a Blood Borne Pathogen certification to ensure the highest level of safety.
Placenta PillsThe placenta is drained of blood, steamed, dehydrated, powdered, and put into capsules. This form is best for use during the weeks following birth, for evening out hormones, improving mood, and facilitating recovery.
