Placenta Encapsulation

  • Although many cultures have been using the placenta as a source of postpartum recovery for centuries, encapsulation has gained popularity in recent years. Limited research has been done due to costs but an abundance of annecdotal data verifies its benefits for postpartum recovery.

    Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) placenta encapsulation involves steaming the placenta with herbs, dehydrating it, and grinding it into a powder to be placed into capsules.

    At The Bun's Done Done, we offer placenta encapsulation performed with care, professionalism, and attention to safety. Our standard process includes a thorough cleaning and inspection of the placenta, steaming it with lemon and ginger, high heat dehydration, and grinding it into a fine powder and placed into vegetarian capsules. All work is done using sanitized equipment and food-safe practices. We provide clear labeling with a recommended dosing guide, storage instructions, and answers to any questions you have about the process.

    This method is believed by proponents to help balance hormones, increase energy, improve milk production, and support recovery.

    Safety is of utmost importance and we complete food safety and blood borne pathogens courses as part of our comprehensive training.

    You can rest assured we will take great care in preparing your placenta supplements so you can feel better during your postpartum recovery period.
