Placenta Encapsulation and Herbal Pregnancy and Postpartum Services

 

Throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period many women turn to the ancient way of herbal medicines and practices to meet many needs of the body and mind.  Placenta encapsulation, belly binding, mother roasting, and herbal sitz baths and teas are among time-honored ways of healing from and honoring pregnancy.  There are countless benefits to placenta encapsulation such as:  

  • Lessening the risk of postpartum hemmorhage and lessening the lochia phase

  • Providing the hormones human placental lactogen and prolactin to assist with your milk coming in sooner and maintaining a healthy supply throughout your nursing relationship

  • Replenishing iron lost from birth and preventing post-birth anemia. Low iron levels can lead to depressive symptoms in a new mother

  • Balancing out your hormone levels until the body is able to regulate its own

  • Providing natural pain relief from the labor and birthing process

  • The placenta helps your uterus return to pre-pregnancy size

  • Lending you a consistant flow of oxytocin (the bonding and euphoric hormone)

  • Replenishing your B-Vitamins and offering your body protein for energy

  • Protection from infection due to retained placenta or bacteria in the uterus
