Book Your Placenta Service
Every Kind of Parentand every type of birth
Customized placenta medicine for any type of birth and every kind of parent.
No matter how you choose to give birth, you can take advantage of the healing properties of your placenta. Your body creates the placenta for the purpose of sustaining life in the womb. Birthers everywhere attest to the benefits they experience as they give their body back the nutrients and hormones the placenta stored for them. Placenta encapsulation isn't only for "crunchy" parents. It is possible for all types of birth, even if you need to have a surgical delivery.
Common Questions
The beauty of hiring a certified placenta specialist is complete removal of the gross factor. The placenta or "afterbirth" as many call it is inspected by your provider after you deliver your baby. Then it is placed in a clean container and labeled with your name. If you choose to keep it for placenta encapsulation, the container will be placed in a cooler or frozen food bag with ice so it is ready for transport. There is no need for you or your support person to handle the placenta. Our certified placenta specialists pick it up, clean it, process it, and return it to you in dried powder that is packed into capsules. No mess, no stress.
More energy, feeling more balanced, quicker healing, increased milk supply, and reduced anxiety. These are some of the claims postpartum moms report about their experience taking their placenta pills. You are unique and your results will be too. In addition, every pregnancy is different from the last. Thankfully, placenta consumption has been a topic of research for about 100 years and there is relevant information available about the possible benefits and risks. We've gathered some research and info from a recent local survey to help you make the decision for yourself.
Each parent person experiences individualized results from taking their placenta capsules. After all, the capsules are as unique as they are. At Breathe Birth Care, we use size 0 capsules which are the perfect size to be easy to swallow and to allow you to adjust your intake as needed to respond to your specific experience. It is important to recognize that placenta encapsulation does not include a promised benefit or claim of healing. While the feedback we hear is overwhelmingly positive, some report no benefit or have undesired side effects from ingesting their placenta.

A Little Research about Placenta Consumption
Below are some research pearls but if you would like more research and information, FindPlacentaEncapsulation.com is an excellent resource.
"Powdered Placenta Hominis was used for 57 cases of insufficient lactation. Within 4 days, 48 women had markedly increased milk production, with the remainder following suit over the next three days."
Bensky/Gamble. (1993). Chinese Materia Medica. Eastland Press, 549."An attempt was made to increase milk secretion in mothers by administration of dried placenta per os. Of 210 controlled cases only 29 (13.8%) gave negative results; 181 women (86.2%) reacted positively to the treatment, 117 (55.7%) with good and 64 (30.5%) with very good results…. This method of treating hypogalactia seems worth noting since the placenta preparation is easily obtained, has not so far been utilized and in our experience is successful in the majority of women."
Soykova-Pachnerova E, et. al. (1954). Placenta as a Lactogen. Gynaecologia, 138(6):617-627."Giving…placenta to a new mother following birth has become standard protocol among a growing number of midwives in the United States. By nourishing the blood and fluids, endocrine glands and organs, Placenta will …reduce or stop postpartum bleeding, speed up recovery, boost energy and relieve postpartum blues."
Homes, Peter. 1993. Jade Remedies, Snow Lotus Press, 352.
How we prepare your Placenta Capsules:
Steamed: After the placenta is washed, it is steamed to purify and warm as believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is sometimes referred to as TCM, or The Chinese Method of preparation. Once steamed, the placenta is sliced into strips and fully dehydrated at 160ºF. It takes approximately 8–12 hours to dehydrate completely. This method produces the least amount of capsules due to significant loss of mass during steaming.
Additional Placenta Preparations
Placenta Tincture: Extend the benefits of the placenta by having a tincture prepared that you can use after your capsules are all gone. Tincture can be saved and used to support your first postpartum menstrual cycle, and even your child's first menstrual cycle.
