Placenta Salve
Placenta has been a key ingredient in expensive healing and beauty creams and salves for many years. Many eye-creams and anti-aging serums use human or sheep placenta extract for its skin restorative qualities. I can prepare a soothing salve using nourishing oils and a small amount of the powder from the new mother’s placenta capsules. Mothers report that the salve soothes, reduces inflammation, relieves pain and itchiness, and promotes healing when applied to cesarean scars, perineal injuries, stretch marks, sore nipples, rashes, eczema, sun and heat burns, and other skin ailments. $35
Placenta Print
Standard prints are made with your fresh placenta and the natural wood into heavy duty watercolor paper. It is a wonderful way to commemorate your placentas beauty. This works well with decorative papers as well. Do you have another artistic idea you would like to try? contact me and we will discuss it! $15
WHY ENCAPSULATE?
​
So why encapsulate your placenta?
So you want to be a "Placenta Eater"?! The whole idea makes people laugh or sometimes queasy. BUT most people do not understand the benefits of restoring the new mothers natural hormone balance in her body after giving birth. “Baby blues” is a common occurrence – 80% of mothers experience it in the first days and weeks after giving birth. Because it is so common, nothing is typically done about it until it worsens into a diagnosis of postpartum depression, at which time anti-depressants may be prescribed. Anti-depressants, like almost all drugs, are passed to the baby through breastmilk, and mothers who don’t want to expose their babies to these medications are often faced with the decision to either stop breastfeeding or struggle with depression. Women suffer through the baby blues almost as a rite of passage to motherhood – but it doesn’t have to be this way.
Placentophagy, or consumption of the placenta, has been reported for decades to help stop the baby blues and diminish postpartum fatigue. Some women have cooked the placenta in a stew, mixed it into a smoothie, or even taken it raw to tap into its powerful effects. For many who feel squeamish about this or want to reap the benefits of placenta for more than just a day or two, there is another option: encapsulation. There are so many other wonderful benefits of supplementing the placenta. Take a look...
The known ingredients that give the placenta its healing properties are:
Gonadotrophin: the precursor to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone,
Prolactin: promotes lactation,
Oxytocin: for pain and bonding; produced during breastfeeding to facilitate bonding of mother and infant. In pharmaceutical form this is a very addictive drug because it promotes a feeling of connectedness with others,
Thyroid stimulating hormone: boosts energy and helps recovery from stressful events,
Cortisone: combats stress and unlocks energy stores,
Interferon: stimulates the immune system to protect against infections,
Prostaglandins: anti-inflammatory,
Hemoglobin: replenishes iron deficiency and anemia, a common postpartum condition,
Urokinase inhibiting factor and factor XIII: stops bleeding and enhances wound healing,
Gammaglobulin: immune booster that helps protect against postpartum infections.
