Finding the postpartum healing resources that are right for you can be exhausting.
It’s no mistake that placenta encapsulation has been around for centuries as an effective way for new mothers to recover postpartum. The placenta is a powerhouse of important hormones that helps women bond with their newborn, improve lactation supply, creating oxytocin and banishing postpartum depression. Containing stress-reducing hormones, many women also experience more energy and less fatigue
During the initial phase of postpartum healing, your uterus slowly begins to shrink back to normal and with the help of hormones your body naturally produces. Consuming encapsulated placenta helps your body heal, in an all natural way.
In home encapsulation is raising the standard for placenta processing in the United States.
Processing placenta requires a sterile environment and professional handling to ensure a safe and effective finished product. When your placenta is processed in your own home, the organ never leaves your possession and you can be sure that your home is clean and safe. If you want to be actively involved in the process, you can engage in the process by watching and asking questions you have as they arise. Or you can sit comfortably in the other room and be confident your placenta is being handled by a trained and certified professional.
Not only is your encapsulator a specialist in their field, they also have extensive experience with postpartum recovery, newborn care, breastfeeding and more. While your placenta is being encapsulated, you can ask your specialist about questions and concerns you might have about your first few days home with your newborn.
Placenta encapsulation is a powerful resource to combat postpartum depression and anxiety. If you’ve experienced symptoms of postpartum depression with your first baby, your chances of experiencing the same emotional distress nearly double with your second child. Most women who utilize placenta during their postpartum period, experience a quicker, more pleasant recovery with reduced or eliminated symptoms of postpartum anxiety or depression.
