Although the effects of placenta encapsulation can differ from person to person, many mothers who have consumed their placenta in capsule form have reported experiencing some or all of the following benefits:Replenishment of iron and essential vitamins that may have been reduced during pregnancy.
A reduction in feelings associated with the postnatal or ‘baby blues’ period.
Improved energy levels to assist with the physical and emotional demands of caring for a newborn.
An increase in breast milk production.
Reduced postpartum bleeding.
Support for uterine contraction and its return to its pre-pregnancy size.
Potential support for the body's postpartum healing and recovery process.
Capsules
Placenta capsules are the easiest way to consume your placenta. You can choose between 2 types.The most common form is Simple capsules. These are dehydrated in their raw state preserving the most goodness. They can have a strong energetic effect on the body which is amazing! However if you are already an energetic person, and this may show itself by being an anxious person, then you may benefit from Steamed capsules. Simple capsules also shouldn’t be taken just before bed. I also recommend Steamed capsules if there is meconium in the waters.You can order capsules by themselves or you can take advantage of one of my discounted packages. I do not sell tinctures, balms or smoothies without the purchase of any capsules or a smoothie pack.Humble Pleasures:

Tincture
A tincture is a way of preserving the power of the placenta forever! Yes, I said forever. I use a 40% proof alcohol for this, but as you will take only a few drops at a time you wont feel any effects from the alcohol.Tinctures are amazing for mood balancing especially around hormonal changes. I have heard many people like to save their tincture for menopause but it is also great to use around your bleed time. It is best made with fresh placenta but you can also use a couple of capsules to make a tincture if you decide to do it at a later date.
Smoothies
I know I know, a placenta smoothie is just too far for some people but hear me out. I use a 1-2 inch chunk of placenta to make this so you wont even taste it! I make this with a special recipe that masks any colour, taste and texture so you will only get a delicious smoothie.Benefits: a smoothie is the quickest and easiest way to get your placenta back inside. Ideally I like people to drink their smoothies soon after the birth if only having 1 or if having multiple than 1 a day for the first week then as needed. A smoothie will give you a burst of energy and healing, plus all the other benefits of consuming your placenta.You can also get your whole placenta made in to smoothies. These come ready to blend in the freezer whenever you want one! Different placentas will produce a different amount of smoothies and they can be vastly different sizes.
Wonder balm
This is a balm infused with your placenta, it contains stem cells which are amazing for your skin. You can use this on you or baby and it can do wonders for skin conditions, stretch marks, stubborn nappy rash or sore nipples. It has smells added in to it as these can irritate the skin, especially on baby.
Once you have paid your deposit then I will send you instructions on collection and storage, then we will have a chat about where you plan to birth and what you have ordered. There will be occasions when you may be told you shouldn't consume your placenta, please do call me for advice to make sure what you have been told is correct as many midwives or doctors don’t actually know the correct recommendations.I like to collect the placenta within 24 hours of the birth where possible so please let me know as soon as you so we can arrange. Depending on where you birth there may be additional fees for collection out of area or postage costs.I am more than happy to answer any questions before you book.
