👀 Ok, but what actually happens when someone says they’re getting their placenta encapsulated? We got this question at the Empowered Community Baby Shower, so I figured if one person was wondering, there are probably more of you wondering too.
Placenta encapsulation is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Your placenta is prepared, dehydrated, ground into a powder, and placed into capsules for you to take postpartum.
People choose it for different reasons. Some are continuing a traditional postpartum practice, some are interested in the nutrients found in the placenta, and others are drawn to commonly reported benefits like supporting recovery, energy, milk production, iron levels, and emotional wellbeing. 🫶🏾
Curious but still like 🤨? That’s what I'm here for. Sarah Foster Doula provides placenta encapsulation and is happy to answer your questions. DM me to learn more. 💜
