PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION is the process of preparing the mother’s placenta after the birth of her baby by dehydrating, powdering, and placing it into capsules for the mother to use as she sees fit. First the placenta is drained of blood, rinsed, and steamed. Once steaming is complete, the placenta is thinly sliced, dehydrated, and ground. The ground placenta powder will be placed in to gelatin capsules to complete the process. PLACENTA TINCTURES are concentrated extracts prepared by soaking a small piece of placenta in alcohol. Only 100 proof Vodka will be used, so all of the tinctures that I prepare are gluten and dairy free. Since tinctures have an indefinite shelf life, many women use them for extra support after they finish their capsules, for when menstruation returns after birth, and some even save their tincture to use during menopause. PLACENTA SALVES can be used to treat a variety of skin ailments including cesarean scars, perineal tears and hemorrhoids, sun-spots, wrinkles, and stretch marks, sore or cracked nipples from breastfeeding, and they make a great Diaper Rash Cream that’s safe for cloth diapers! Salves are made from organic coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, beeswax, and a special combination of healing oils and herbs. *
