PLACENTA SERVICES
What is placentophagy?
Placentophagy is the act of consuming the placenta after birth. This practice dates back centuries & has been practiced by many different cultures in many different ways. Some of the reported benefits of placenta consumption include an increase in breastmilk supply, energy levels, iron, vitamin b, oxytocin, healing, hormone stabilization, hair/skin/nail health, & uterine shrinkage. Those who have consumed their placentas have also reported a decrease in postpartum depression/anxiety/baby blues, postpartum bleeding, infection, postpartum hair loss, & hormonal sweats/hot flashes. Placenta consumption - when done by an experienced & certified professional - can be a great way to prepare for a more positive postpartum experience.

METHODS OF PROCESSING
STEAMED
The steamed method of placenta processing adheres to the Traditional Chinese Method. With this method, your placenta is cleaned, steamed, dehydrated, ground, & encapsulated. The steaming process ensures that all pathogens are eliminated before dehydrating at 155 degrees for 12 hours.
TRUE RAW
With this method of processing, your placenta is rinsed in organic apple cider vinegar, sliced into thin pieces, & dehydrated at 118 degrees for up to 36 hours. Because this method adheres to the raw diet restrictions & never reaches a temperature above 118 degrees, this method is not considered sterile as pathogens are not guaranteed to be eliminated. The true raw method is typically a cultural or religious choice. This method is not an option for GBS+, HSV+, HPV+, HIV+, or meconium presentation.
MODIFIED RAW
The Modified Raw method of processing is the most popular among my clients. With this method, your placenta is rinsed with organic apple cider vinegar, sliced into thin pieces, & dehydrated at 165 degrees for 24 hours. Because of the high dehydration temperature, this method is considered sterile. Because it is not steamed first, it tends to yield a “stronger” capsule because the hormones & nutrients are not dismantled in the steaming process.
