Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta Encapsulation Service: We offer a safe and convenient method to preserve your placenta for potential future use. Our process involves a steam method to steam, dehydrate, grind, and encapsulate the placenta into convenient capsules. Upon completion, you will receive a carefully prepared jar of encapsulated placenta along with clear instructions for usage and recommended dosage. The entire procedure typically takes around 2 days and can be conveniently carried out either at your home or an alternate location of your choice.

Placenta Prints
Some families are interested in preserving the placenta as a memento to commemorate the vital role it played in nourishing their baby. I offer a range of options to create beautiful placenta keepsakes using various mediums and surfaces.
You have the choice of a non-toxic paint print, a food dye print, or a print made from placental blood. The image can be printed on either watercolor paper or a framed canvas. If you are only requesting the placenta keepsake service, please ensure that you rinse, package, and freeze the placenta until I can arrange for pick-up. However, if you are also availing of encapsulation services, no additional preparation is needed.
The cost for a placenta keepsake on watercolor paper is $50.
Please note that if you choose this service as a stand-alone option and the travel distance exceeds 30 road miles, additional mileage costs will be included.
Placenta Tincture
A placenta tincture is created by extracting a small piece of the placenta and immersing it in high-proof alcohol. This liquid extract typically takes six weeks to be prepared for use, which coincides with the likely depletion of your placenta capsules.
In addition to the capsules, a placenta tincture serves as an excellent backup, considering that the number of capsules obtained can vary due to the varying sizes of placentas. Furthermore, it allows for extended use of the placenta's benefits, as its consumption duration may vary among individuals. To ensure its potency, it is advisable to store the tincture in a cool and dark place, as it has an indefinite shelf life.
The usefulness of a placenta tincture extends beyond the postpartum period. Once the capsules have been consumed, the tincture can be employed to provide support for mood, energy levels, milk supply, and postpartum mood disorders. Moreover, it can offer relief from PMS symptoms after the resumption of the menstrual cycle, and some women have found it beneficial in managing menopause symptoms in the future.
