Honoring Birth Services and Denver Placenta Works continue to serve clients by offering placenta encapsulation and herbal preparations. Benefits The placenta is a beautiful organ that grows within and nourishes life throughout pregnancy. After the baby is born, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall and is birthed. When the baby and the placenta are both born, the mother's body is drained of hormones and nutrients. It is important to help a birthing person’s body rebalance and replenish after the birth of her baby to make a smooth transition for the entire family. The placenta contains a multitude of healing properties and hormones, such as:
Process The process of encapsulation begins with the placenta being weighed. The placenta prints are then created on canvas board and watercolor paper. The placenta is thoroughly examined and pictures are taken. After being cleaned and drained, it is slowly steamed with organic ginger, jalapeño, and lemon in a stainless steel pot with filtered water, following the Traditional Chinese Method. Once steamed, the placenta is thinly sliced and laid flat to dehydrate. It is dehydrated at a low temperature of 160 degrees, for 10-12 hours. After dehydration, the sliced placenta is ground and filled into vegan, size 0 gelatin capsules. If you would prefer the raw start method of encapsulation, your placenta can be prepared in that manner upon request. The average placenta weighs approximately twenty ounces and makes an average of 120 capsules. Placentas vary in size and weight and therefore the amount of pills produced from each placenta varies. The placenta pills are stored in a glass jar, labeled with instructions. Along with the valuable placenta pills, I include a beautiful cord keepsake, a print of your placenta on watercolor paper, and I email photos of the encapsulation process. There is no mileage fee added to the cost of placenta encapsulation services. It is my pleasure to make this valuable fourth trimester support as easy and hassle-free as possible for clients and their families. ![]() Investment Essential Placenta Encapsulation Package $175, Steamed process. $180, Raw process.
