PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION
Dr. Candace Gesicki offers placenta encapsulation services for Northeast Ohio, including Cleveland, Akron, and surrounding areas.
Encapsulation Process:
The method I prefer to use is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)*: placenta has been used in TCM for thousands of years to treat a variety of illnesses and to balance the body. Placenta encapsulation is a two-step process. The first step consists of steaming the placenta with herbs to enhance the effects. It is then prepared for dehydration and the drying process begins. During the second step, the dried placenta is ground and transferred into vegetarian capsules. These capsules are both tasteless and odorless. Upon encapsulation, you will receive 100-200 placenta capsules, your baby’s umbilical cord dried and placed in a satin keepsake pouch, and full postpartum support and resources during your recovery.
Placenta Tincture:
Placenta tincture can be added on to your encapsulation package for an additional fee. Placenta tincture is made by steeping placenta in 80-100 proof drinking alcohol for a minimum of six weeks. Tinctures are great for a boost in mood and adapting to stress. Placenta tinctures will last long after your placenta pills. Some even choose to save their placenta tincture until menopause when a hormonal boost is needed! Placenta tincture can be prepared with raw placenta or placenta powder from capsules.
