Rich in essential nutrients and hormones like iron, vitamin B12, and oxytocin, the placenta may help replenish depleted stores, promote emotional balance, and support overall healing.

Encapsulation Details
The encapsulation process involves carefully drying and grinding the placenta into a fine powder, making it easy to consume while preserving its benefits. Placenta capsules can be prepared using two different methods: steamed (Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM) or non-steamed (raw/natural method).
The key difference lies in the preparation—TCM encapsulation involves briefly steaming the placenta with warming Chinese herbs before dehydration, while the raw method skips steaming and is dehydrated at a lower temperature over a longer period.
Throughout the process, the placenta is handled with care, respect, and adherence to strict sterilization standards.
Tinctures
The placenta tincture offers an additional layer of support alongside your capsules, providing a versatile and long-lasting remedy. This liquid extract is made by infusing a small piece of placenta in a high-proof alcohol base, sometimes combined with herbs for added benefits.
Potential benefits of placenta tinctures include:
Supporting hormonal balance during PMS
Helping ease anxiety and emotional fluctuations
Reducing the risk of postpartum depression
Serving as a proactive remedy for menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and palpitations
Your specialist will pick up your placenta from your birthing location, and return with your pills or any other add ons within 1 week. Standard package includes instructions and information for the entire process, as well as an art print. Tinctures can be added at an additional cost.
