Placenta Encapsulation
Placental encapsulation is the practice of eating placenta (placentophagy) after it has been steamed, dehydrated, ground, and placed into capsules. Traditionally, this is taken by the mother and is believed to impart numerous health benefits. It is frequently taken shortly after giving birth, with the belief that it will help lessen some of the symptoms of postpartum such as:
a decrease in postpartum mood disorders
increased production of oxytocin
a decrease in stress hormones
restoration of iron levels following bleeding after birth
increased milk supply
