PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION

Welcome to Boise Birth Village, where we're dedicated to helping you make the most out of your postpartum journey! Congratulations on your growing family! As you prepare for the arrival of your little one, let us introduce you to a transformative practice that can support your well-being during this special time: placenta encapsulation.

​

Our placenta encapsulation service offers a natural and holistic approach to postpartum recovery. After the birth of your baby, we carefully process your placenta into easy-to-swallow capsules, preserving its nutrients and benefits. Placenta encapsulation supports hormone balance, increases energy levels, and promotes faster postpartum healing. Our Certified Placenta Encapsulator ensures safe handling and hygienic preparation of your placenta, providing you with a convenient and discreet way to nourish your body during the postpartum period. With our placenta encapsulation service, you can embark on your journey to motherhood feeling supported, rejuvenated, and ready to embrace the joys of new parenthood.

​

 

Why Placenta Encapsulation?

​

🌱 Natural Nourishment: Your placenta is a powerhouse of nutrients and hormones that supported your baby's growth during pregnancy. By encapsulating it, you can harness these benefits to support your postpartum recovery.

​

🌈 Balanced Hormones: After birth, hormone levels fluctuate dramatically, leading to mood swings and fatigue. Placenta encapsulation is believed to help balance hormones naturally, easing the transition into motherhood.

​

💪 Increased Energy: The postpartum period can be exhausting, both physically and emotionally. Many mothers report feeling more energized and resilient after incorporating placenta capsules into their daily routine.

​

❤️ Faster Recovery: Your body undergoes incredible changes during childbirth. Placenta encapsulation is thought to promote faster healing, reduce postpartum bleeding, and replenish vital nutrients lost during delivery.

​

🤱 Support for Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding can be challenging, especially in the early days. Placenta encapsulation may support lactation by helping to regulate milk supply and ease breastfeeding discomfort.

HORMONAL BENEFITS

» Placenta Opioid Enhancing Factor offers natural pain relief from either vaginal or cesarean  birth.
» Oxytocin produces feelings of happiness and encourages stronger bonding with your baby.
» Progesterone decreases anxiety and boosts energy
​» Prolactin and Human Placental Lactogen stimulates milk production and regulates maternal and

   fetal glucose, protein and fat levels
» Cortisone releases cortisol to combat stress and increase energy.
» Interferon stimulates the immune system.
» Prostaglandins reduces inflammation.
» Hemoglobin stimulates iron production (deficiency linked to postpartum mood disorders).
» Estrogen stimulates healing, soothes and supports kidney function, increases mental clarity           

   emotional balance

Processing Options

Gentle Method: Your placenta is steamed, dehydrated, ground, and encapsulated. This option is great for anyone who are GBS positive, or who are prone to anxiety or insomnia

 

Raw Method: This method requires the placenta to be very fresh (within 48 hours). With raw encapsulation the steaming process is skipped to maintain the proteins and enzymes. This means that it yields more capsules and has a stronger affect.

ADD ONS:

Placenta Prints ($10):

Placenta prints are a unique and meaningful way to commemorate the miracle of birth and the bond between mother and child. Created using the blood of the placenta, placenta prints capture the intricate patterns and textures of the placenta, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork.

Cord Keepsakes ($10):

Umbilical cord keepsakes are a heartfelt and symbolic way to preserve a tangible reminder of the profound connection between mother and child during pregnancy. After the umbilical cord is clamped and cut following birth, it is formed into a heart shape, dehydrated, and painted metallic gold

Placenta Tincture ($30):

A placenta tincture is a concentrated liquid extract made from a small piece of the placenta after birth steeped in high-proof alcohol for 6 weeks. During this time, the alcohol extracts the beneficial compounds from the placenta, creating a potent and long-lasting tincture.

​

Placenta Balm ($30):

Placenta balm is a natural skincare product made from the placenta, typically combined with other nourishing ingredients to create a luxurious and therapeutic balm. This balm is designed to provide soothing relief and promote healing for a variety of postpartum skin concerns
