Placenta Encapsulation is the practice of ingesting the placenta after it has been steamed, dehydrated, ground, and placed into capsules and it’s believed to have many benefits that can help mothers adapt to their new lives.
There are a few scientific studies on the benefits of placenta encapsulation however traditional wisdom and anecdotal evidence suggest potential benefits to ingesting the placenta include
- Balancing hormone levels
- Improve iron levels
- Increased energy
- Help increase supply of breastmilk
- Helps the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size
- Increases CRH (a stress reducing hormone)
