Placenta Alkhemy

$400

Placenta Encapsulation— includes Placenta pills, Cord keepsake & 2 oz. Tincture

Your placenta is sacred. It is the only organ created by the body that serves a specific purpose and then is disposed once that purpose is complete. The placenta is your baby’s first buddy and their source of life-sustaining nutrients. The nourishing benefits of the placenta can be used to aid with the transition into parenthood. Possible benefits of consuming your placenta:

Hormonal balance, increase in energy levels, improves mood, boost in milk supply, replenishes iron levels in your body, replenishes B Vitamins lost during delivery, & offers pain relief due to the hormones contained within.*

My preference of preparation is inspired by the Traditional Chinese Medicine method. It is believed that during the postpartum period, the body is in a “cold” state and needs warmth for balance. In this case, the warmth is added through a gentle steaming of the placenta which includes lemon, ginger, (and chili pepper when appropriate). The placenta is then sliced into thin slivers and dehydrated for an extended amount of time before being powdered and encapsulated.
