Placenta Services
Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is one of the most common ways to make use of your placenta. Designed to help support you in the earlier weeks of postpartum to keep your hormones and energy levels regulated while also supporting a healthy breastmilk supply.
Salve
An absolute favorite- our healing placenta salve is everything you need to aide in topical healing thanks to the amazing stem cells present in your placenta.
Main uses include: nipple cream, diaper rash cream, perineal and cesarean scar healing, acne, skin irritations, minor cuts and burns.
Tincture
Our tincture carries the same exact benefits as encapsulation. Great for helping to balance your hormones in the later months of postpartum (i.e. when your menstrual cycle returns to assist in maintaining your breastmilk supply and regulating your mood due to fluctuating hormones).
Cord Keepsake & Print
The umbilical cord keepsake and placenta print are the perfect memorabilia to commemorate and honor the amazing work that your placenta has done to keep your baby healthy and safe during your pregnancy and birth.
As beautiful as it is sentimental.
Benefits and Risks
(through the lens of the hormones at play and surrounding supported anecdotal evidence)
01
Balanced Hormones
Immediately after birth and into the early weeks of postpartum your body will experience a pretty significant shift in hormones. After 9 months of your body providing higher levels of hormones (estrogen and progesterone) to support you and your baby's health there is a significant drop in these hormones (typically by day 3 of postpartum) which results in a lot of mothers and birthing people feeling a bit more emotional and experiencing something commonly known as baby blues.
Women and birthing people who have consumed their placenta capsules report that they feel more emotionally and mentally balanced in the earlier weeks postpartum when people are more likely to experience bouts of baby blues and postpartum depression.
decreased chances of experiencing

Healthy Breastmilk Production
Did you know: traditional midwives would give a mother a small piece of her placenta dipped in honey to place in her mouth to help slow and stop postpartum hemorrhage
Hormones prolactin and oxytocin are most responsible for the production and expression of breastmilk. In the earlier days of postpartum to support your breastmilk to come in the levels of estrogen and progesterone significantly drop- which causes a significant hormone imbalance in mothers.
While there is a concern that the hormone estrogen can possibly decrease an establishing breastmilk supply - anecdotal evidence supports that most mothers either report an increase or maintained levels in their breastmilk supply. We believe this to be true as it has been shown that placenta capsules help to regulate and balance all of your hormones allowing mothers and birthing people to avoid experiencing the extreme shifts of hormonal imbalances.
03
Increased Energy
Low iron levels can have a significant impact on: your energy levels causing fatigue, your mood causing irritability, and your blood and oxygen levels which directly impact the brain and muscles which can cause brain fog and reduced mental and physical strength.
It is important to note that a healthy diet during pregnancy can significantly help your iron stores that are retained in your placenta to support you during postpartum when choosing to encapsulate your placenta.
Increasing your iron intake during pregnancy helps to give your baby a brain boost as well as support your immune system and physical strength and health.
Anecdotal evidence shows that new mothers and birthing people who consume their placenta capsules have an increase in both their energy levels and mental clarity.
