What are the Benefits of Placenta Encapsulation?
As an evidence-based childbirth educator, I am the first to tell clients that there is absolutely no good-quality evidence supporting placenta encapsulation.
What we do have is anecdotal evidence- lots of it. It has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine and now that more folks are choosing this practice, they are reaping the benefits and telling their friends and family. Who then try it. And tell their friends and family- because it worked!
So, what can your placenta do for you? It is believed that consuming your placenta can:
Help to balance your hormones
Replenish depleted iron levels
Reduce postpartum bleeding
Increase milk production
Increase energy levels
Inhibit baby blues
Make for a happier, more enjoyable postpartum
I had my placenta encapsulated after the birth of my second child and noticed a HUGE difference postpartum compared to my first. Less weepy, more milk, less hot-flashes. Now, I also had a much different birth experience compared to my first but I do believe that my placenta had a role in my easier recovery, as well.
