Encapsulation Methods
​
TCM: Traditional Chinese Method- The encapsulator will first wash the placenta, then steam it with lemon, ginger and jalapeno.
Raw Method- The encapsulator will first wash the placenta, slice it and put it into the dehydrator.
Tinctures- The encapsulator adds a small chunk of your placenta into a bottle with a high proof of alcohol. There are many uses for tinctures such as using during menopause for the laboring person and/or during puberty for the child. Tinctures take 6 weeks to prepare.

What is Encapsulation?
​
Placenta encapsulation is the process of dehydrating and grounding the placenta into a powder, and placing it into small capsules to take as needed.
Taking placenta pills, can help with the fluctuating hormones and loss of vitamins and nutrients after birth, which can help aid in a easier transition during your postpartum recovery.
