Placenta Medicine

As we feed and nourish our babies, our babies can feed and nourish us.  Our babies grow their placentas, which are so rich with vitamins, minerals, iron, protein and beneficial hormones.  All of these elements can help ease the transition from pregnancy into the postpartum. Almost every mammal eats their baby’s placenta after birth.  In Chinese Medicine, the placenta has been used medicinally for thousands of years for its restorative properties. 

What are the Benefits of Placenta Medicine?

• Increased general energy
• Faster recovery after birth
• Increased production of breast milk
• Decreased likelihood of baby blues and post natal depression
• Decreased likelihood of iron deficiency
• Decreased likelihood of insomnia and sleep disorders

Placenta Services

You may choose if you would like your placenta to be dehydrated raw, or if you would prefer to have it steamed with healing herbs beforehand.

Here at Natural Birth Services, we are happy to provide you with the following services:

• Raw Placenta Encapsulation        $240

Many people believe that steaming the placenta destroys some of its nutrients. If you choose this option we will clean, dehydrate, ground and encapsulate your raw placenta.

• Herbal Steamed Placenta Encapsulation        $260

This form of placenta encapsulation is inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, in which the placenta is cleaned and gently steamed with fresh lemon, ginger and chili, then dehydrated and put into capsules

• Placenta Tincture        $40

Creating a tincture out of a piece of your placenta is a great  way to preserve your placenta medicine for long periods of time. Placenta tincture can stabilize your homones in the postpartum period, during your menstrual cycles, and during menopause. 

• Placenta Balm       $240 or $50 with purchase of Placenta Encapsulation

A salve or balm can be made of your placenta to aide in a variety of ailments including cesarean scars, hemorrhoids, perineal tearing, cracked nipples, eczema, sun burn, and diaper rash. We add calendula, comfrey, plantain and St. John’s wort to the salve.
