Placenta encapsulation
What is placenta encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation is a postpartum practice in which the placenta is prepared, dehydrated, and placed into capsules for consumption after birth.
Many families choose placenta encapsulation as part of their postpartum recovery plan in hopes of supporting:
-
postpartum healing and recovery
-
energy levels
-
emotional well-being
-
milk supply
-
hormonal adjustment during postpartum
While experiences vary from person to person, many families appreciate having additional postpartum support options available to them.

The postpartum period can be physically and emotionally demanding.
Families often choose placenta encapsulation because they are looking for:

support during physical recovery
-
help navigating hormonal shifts
-
nourishment during the postpartum transition
-
personalized postpartum care options
