Many people have experienced the amazing potential benefits
of placenta preparations for consumption, ceremony and art. Fresh and frozen (even for years)
placentas can be prepared for you locally. Please see this article from Midwifery Today for one story: http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/placenta_medicine.asp
• Your
placenta can be prepared in various ways for consumption including
encapsulation, tincture, chocolates,
smoothies, and many more. Placentas are thought to support parents and children from post-partum
through menopause.
• Placenta
ceremonies such as planting can provide a legacy for your baby
• Placenta
prints are a beautiful way to preserve the beauty of this connection between
parent and child.
My most common placenta service includes encapsulation, a print if possible, and drying of the chord and membranes for ceremony.
"After the birth of my daughter I decided to try placenta encapsulation. Viola was born a little early and caught us off guard so I hadn't contacted David yet. Two weeks went by before I remembered my intentions. Luckily my placenta had been double bagged and stored in the freezer since shortly after Viola's birth. I contacted David and he responded very quickly and within a day he came to my house and picked up the placenta. The next day I had 83 capsules and began taking them right away. I wasn't entirely consistent taking the pills and the only emotionally hard days I had were following a day of not taking any. Other than those rare days I felt really great. I was able to stay in the baby bliss without unwanted emotional lows and I had much more energy than I would have expected considering the sleep deprivation. I would recommend placenta encapsulation to anyone interested. David made the process very easy and comfortable." - Megan
