Placenta Encapsulation

Some of the things the placenta can help with:
  • Preventing and lessening the risk of postpartum depression or ‘baby blues’
  • Replenishing your iron from blood loss during birth and to prevent postpartum anemia *Lending you a consistent flow of oxytocin long after your birth euphoria ends
  • Providing the HPL hormone to help establish early and healthy milk supply
  • To stabilize your ever changing hormones post birth
  • To replenish your B vitamins and energy that were used during the labor and birthing process *Protection from infection and bleeding due to retained placenta tissue or membranes
  • Offer natural pain relief from the labor and birth of the baby 
Hormones Known to be in the Placenta:
  • Oxytocin­ The feel good or love hormone. Creates feelings of bonding, pain relief, happiness and elation.
  • Cortisone­ This hormone unlocks energy stored in the body and combats stress. (cortisol)
  • Interferon­ This hormones stimulates the immune system to fight off infections while the mother is healing from birth.
  • Prostaglandins­ Acts as an anti­inflammatory.
  • Hemoglobin­ Replenishes iron, stimulates iron production in blood.
  • Urokinase inhibiting factor and factor XIII­ Lessens bleeding and promotes faster healing.
