Placenta Encapsulation Process
Step 1
Step 1
Step 1
For a steamed Placenta encapsulation, I will begin with cutting lemons and ginger. This is known to help with weight loss, energy, inflammation, migraines, and healing.

The placenta is placed into a stainless steel strainer and washed thoroughly draining the umbilical cord, cutting it off, and set aside for your cord keepsake.

The placenta is then placed into the steamer (if you chose steamed), adding fresh lemons and ginger onto the placenta, and sprinkle cayenne pepper on top. It will stay in this place for a minimum of 30 minutes until internal preparation reaches 220*.

Placenta Encapsulation
What is Placenta Encapsulation?

How do i store the placenta until picked up?
Placenta encapsulation is the practice of ingesting the placenta after being steamed or raw, dehydrated, ground and placed into pills. Traditionally, this is taken by the mother and is believed to include numerous health benefits. Placenta capsules frequently are taken shortly after giving birth, during a women's menstrual cycle, or during menopause with the belief, it helps counter some symptoms of menopause.

How do i store the placenta until picked up?
I pick up 8 am-8 pm most days. Please bring a small cooler, (or contact me and I can provide you with one) and 2 1-gallon zip lock bags to double bag your placenta to the hospital. Keep your placenta on ice, the nursing staff can supply ice as needed. If I am your Doula I will bring the placenta home with me. Please check the ice regularly to ensure proper cooling is maintained. If pick-up is delayed or if your hospital requires immediate removal of the placenta, it can be stored in your fridge for 48 hours. Please freeze if it will be with you longer than that. Most placenta capsules, tinctures, and salves are ready for pick-up within 48 hours. Tinctures do take an additional 6 weeks to infuse before they are ready for use.
What are your safety protocols?

What are your safety protocols?
Safety is #1 to me! I check the temperature of the placenta at the time of pick up and store it in a dedicated refrigerator with a thermometer. The preparation space and equipment are cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectant before and after the preparation of your placenta. Any multi-use equipment is cleaned and then soaked in a hospital-grade disinfectant. Followed by a wash with clean water. I always use personal protective equipment (PPE): mask, hair covering, gloves, goggles, and gown. I only ever process one placenta at a time and generally only have one placenta in my possession at a time. If a home birth and I am your doula you have the option to encapsulate it in your own home.
