PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION
My interest in placenta encapsulation began whilst my daughter was suffering from post natal depression after the birth of
her second baby and I realized that had she been able to eat her placenta she might have been protected from PND.
I've always known that most mammals ingest their placenta and wondered why most humans do not, probably because
most of us are squeamish and are ill informed about the significance of the placenta post birth. It is usually seen
as a waste product to be got rid of after birth. Placenta encapsulation makes the consumption far more acceptable.
The placenta is a remarkable organ, it provides the baby's nourishment and eliminates its waste. it secretes the hormones
that regulate and maintain pregnancy, whilst blocking many harmful substances from reaching baby.
The placenta also has amazing capabilities during the postpartum period too, as it contains your own natural hormones
it is therefore is perfectly made for you. If ingested into your system the placenta can heal, sustain and strengthen.
Placental Benefits
* Balance energy depleted by labour & birth
* Ease Fatigue
* Replenish iron, minerals & vitamins
* Lesson postnatal bleeding
* Balance hormones
* Increase milk production
* Help with postnatal baby blues
* Lesson the incidence of postnatal depression
* Compliment your bodies effort in returning the uterus to its pre-prgnancy state
* Help hormone distress during the menopause.
Based on traditional chinese medicine, where the placenta is considered powerful, sacred and full of life force,
your placenta will be dried, ground and put into around 150 capsules for you to ingest following the birth of your baby.
The benefits surrounding ingesting your placenta are numerous as it is so rich in vital nutrients needed for
recovery after childbirth and encapsulation is perfect for totally natural postpartum care.
The iron, vitamins and hormones found in the placenta will encourage a healthy emotional and physical recovery,
replenishing the body with important minerals and vitamins (including iron which is important when you consider that
women lose 1/8-1/10 of their blood supply during birth), slow postpartum bleeding and raise energy levels
(a huge benefit to a worn out new mum!).
When taken daily, your capsules should last 6-8 weeks and you can also keep a handful to help rebalance during
your menopause.
