Placenta Encapsulation
Throughout history many cultures have received healthful benefits from the consumption of placenta and modern research is proving these traditions to have merit. Placentas are rich in vitamins, minerals, hormones, stem cells and produce high levels of (CRH) corticotropin releasing hormone. CRH is a stress reducing hormone that may help to reduce stress levels in new mothers. Many women taking encapsulated placenta report an increase in breast milk supply and less hormone fluctuations which may in turn reduce the incidence of postpartum depression.

A simple and convenient way that mothers can appreciate the benefits of their placenta is to have it professionally encapsulated for their personal use. If this is something you are interested in, we can assist you. Amana and Gerrie have been trained to process and encapsulate placentas using the Traditional Chinese Method (TCM). We follow the Public Health Agency of Canada's guidelines, employ safe Food Handling Guidelines and follow OSHA standards for Bloodborne Pathogens & Infection Control for Placenta Encapsulation training.
Following the TCM of preparing your placenta, warming "herbs" such as ginger, jalapeño and lemon are used to encourage the restoration of your strength and vitality after giving birth. Your placenta will rest on these herbs as it is gently steamed. These herbs are not included as part of your capsules.
Your placenta will be picked up, safely and respectfully prepared and your capsules will be delivered back to you, usually within 3-5 business days.
