Placenta Tinctures: The Postpartum Remedy That Lasts a Lifetime
If you’ve heard of placenta encapsulation, you probably know it’s a popular way to support postpartum recovery. But have you heard about placenta tinctures?
Unlike capsules, which are typically consumed within the first few weeks or months after birth, a placenta tincture is a long-term wellness tool that can support your body for years, even into menopause! Best of all, it’s incredibly simple to make and requires no extra effort on your part.
Curious? Let’s break it down.
First Things First: What Is a Tincture?
A tincture is simply an herbal extract made by soaking something in alcohol to pull out its beneficial properties. It’s a highly concentrated liquid that can be taken in small doses for long-lasting effects.
When it comes to placenta tinctures, the process involves infusing a small piece of the placenta in high-proof alcohol (like vodka or Everclear) for several weeks. The alcohol extracts the placenta’s nutrients and hormones, creating a powerful, long-lasting supplement.
Why Make a Placenta Tincture?
Unlike placenta capsules, which you’ll eventually finish, a tincture lasts forever when stored properly. This means you’ll have access to the benefits of your placenta long after your capsules are gone. Through postpartum, hormonal shifts, stressful life moments, and even menopause.
Here’s why moms love placenta tinctures:
✨ It Lasts a Lifetime – A placenta tincture doesn’t expire when stored correctly. You can use it for years, making it a long-term wellness investment.
✨ It’s Incredibly Easy – Once prepared, all you need to do is take a few drops under your tongue or mix it into a drink when needed.
✨ It’s a Natural Hormonal Support – Your placenta contains estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones that can help with mood swings, stress, and hormonal balance long after birth.
✨ It’s Beneficial for Menopause – Many moms save their tinctures for perimenopause and menopause, when hormone levels start fluctuating again. A few drops can help ease mood shifts, fatigue, and irritability during this transition.
How Do You Use a Placenta Tincture?
A placenta tincture is highly concentrated, so you don’t need much to experience its effects.
Most moms take a few drops under the tongue or dilute it in water, tea, or juice. Some use it during postpartum for hormonal balance, while others keep it for later use when they need extra emotional or hormonal support.
Common times to use a placenta tincture include:
- During stressful moments – Helps with emotional regulation.
- While weaning from breastfeeding – Supports hormone balance.
- During menstrual cycles – Eases mood swings and PMS.
- As you enter menopause – A natural way to support the transition.
How Is a Placenta Tincture Made?
Here’s where it gets even better… you don’t have to do a thing!
At Mom Springs, we prepare your tincture for you as an add-on to your placenta encapsulation. The process is simple:
1️⃣ A small portion of your placenta is placed in a glass jar.
2️⃣ It’s covered with high-proof alcohol.
3️⃣ The jar is sealed and left to infuse for at least 6 weeks.
4️⃣ Once ready, the placenta is strained out (or left in based on your preference), and you’re left with a pure, powerful placenta tincture.
That’s it! Your tincture is then stored in a dropper bottle, ready for use whenever you need it.
Placenta Capsules vs. Tincture: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Placenta Capsules | Placenta Tincture |
|---|---|---|
| How long it lasts | Weeks to months | Forever |
| How it’s taken | Swallowed like a pill | Drops under the tongue or in a drink |
| Best for | Postpartum recovery | Long-term hormonal support |
| Ease of use | Take daily | Use as needed |
| When to use | First few months postpartum | Anytime in life (stress, PMS, menopause) |
Many moms choose both, capsules for immediate postpartum recovery and a tincture for long-term benefits.
