Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is the process of the placenta turning into capsules to be taken during the postpartum period. This process includes steaming, dehydration,
grinding and filling the capsules with placenta powder.
Benefits of placenta capsules include:
*Preventing and lessening the risk of postpartum mood swings aka "baby blues"
*Replenishing iron from blood loss during birth to prevent postpartum anemia
*Lending a consistent flow of oxytocin long after birth euphoria ends
*Providing the HPL hormone to help establish early milk supply
*To stabilize ever changing hormones post birth
*To replenish B vitamins and energy that were used during labor and birth
*Natural pain relief from labor and birth
Placenta is rich in:
Oxytocin - The feel good or love hormone. Creates feelings of bonding, pain relief, happiness and elation.
Cortisone - unlocks energy stored in the body and combats stress.
Interferon - stimulates the immune system to fight off infections while the mother is healing from birth.
Prostaglandins – act as anti-inflammatory.
Hemoglobin - replenishes iron, stimulates iron production.
Urokinase inhibiting factor and factor XIII lessens bleeding and promotes faster healing.
Prolactin/HPL - stimulates healthy mammary function and milk production.
The 3 Main Hormones in the Placenta: Oxytocin, POEF, HPL
Placenta capsules are considered a nutritional supplement and don’t replace vitamins, medications and a healthy diet, and should not be considered as substitute for medical care or advice.

It is a great option to relieve menopausal symptoms. Tinctures are mainly meant for energy, support during the transitional periods, stress, immune boost, hormone stabilization, and are therefore great for returning cycles and menopause.
