Here are some benefits of placenta encapsulation, as reported by our past clients:

Increased oxytocin

This hormone is responsible for a host of pro-social behaviors such as friendliness, bonding with your infant, and sexual pleasure. Having a baby can be hard and though mothers love their bundles of joy, some may suffer from postpartum depression as their hormones fluctuate. With an increase in oxytocin they may be able to gain support from friends, create a securer bond with their infant, and reap the benefits of intimacy with their significant other. Another benefit of oxytocin is related to the uterus. This hormone helps the uterus return to its regular size.

Increase in stress-reducing hormone

Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) is released by the hypothalamus and plays a big part in reducing stress. After giving birth the demands of unpredictable hormones, body changes, and an infant can produce a lot of stress for mothers. Placenta encapsulation has been known to help women cope with these demands which will lead to an easier return to normal activities and relationships.

Regulation of Iron levels

After child birth, low iron levels may lead to anemia. This can cause excessive tiredness, dizziness, and difficulty taking in enough air. These symptoms can be reduced or prevented by using the natural nutrients of a placenta.

Better milk production

In a study conducted by the First Obstetric Clinic at Charles University, in Prague, researchers found that 86% of the 210 women given placenta showed an increase in milk supply within a few days. While the study proves placenta hormones do positively affect milk production, it will need to be expanded to discover which hormones produce this effect.

Pain Relief

Ingesting the placenta can boost the pain-relieving qualities of opioids. This can lessen side effects of these medications and allow the mother to bond better with her infant.
