Benefits, Safety, and What to Expect
If you’re pregnant or just gave birth and wondering what to do with your placenta, you’re not alone. Placenta encapsulation is becoming increasingly popular in Palm Springs and across the Coachella Valley for moms looking for natural, effective ways to support their postpartum healing.
But what is placenta encapsulation? Is it safe? What are the benefits? And most importantly, is it right for you?
Let’s dive into everything you need to know.
What Is Placenta Encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation is the process of turning your placenta into capsules you can take postpartum. Like a custom supplement made by your body, for your body. We clean, steam, dehydrate, and grind your placenta into powder, then fill capsules for you to take daily.
Why? Because the placenta is packed with:
- Iron
- B vitamins
- Protein
- Hormones like estrogen and progesterone
These nutrients may help:
- Rebalance hormones
- Boost milk supply
- Support mood and mental clarity
- Speed up postpartum recovery
While scientific research is still catching up, anecdotal evidence and traditional medicine from cultures around the world have praised the benefits of placentophagy (consuming the placenta) for centuries.
Here in Palm Springs, and throughout Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indio, and the surrounding Coachella Valley, more and more moms are choosing placenta encapsulation as a way to feel supported and nourished after birth.
It’s an ancient practice making a big comeback and moms all over the Coachella Valley are feeling the difference.
Why Moms in Palm Springs and Beyond Choose Placenta Capsules
Look, we’re not saying its a cure all. But here’s what a lot of moms (myself included) have experienced:
1. Hormone Help
Postpartum hormones drop faster than your baby’s umbilical stump. Many moms find that placenta capsules help take the edge off. fewer mood swings, more emotional stability, and way less crying in the shower.
2. Energy Boost
Newborn life is no joke. Between cluster feeding and diaper blowouts, you need something to keep you going. Placenta capsules are rich in iron, B vitamins, and protein, a natural little pick-me-up in pill form.
3. Milk Supply Support
Many clients say their milk came in strong and stayed flowing thanks to their capsules. We can’t promise you’ll turn into a dairy cow, but hey, every drop counts.
4. Speedier Recovery
Placenta contains stem cells, growth factors, and nutrients your body worked hard to make. Reintroducing those back into your system may support tissue healing and decrease postpartum bleeding.
Is Placenta Encapsulation Safe?
