Placenta Processing

“Placenta will …reduce or stop postpartum bleeding, speed up recovery, boost energy and relieve postpartum blues.”
— Peter Homes, Jade Remedies

How it Works

Almost every mammal ingests their own placenta after the birth, sometimes even ignoring the young until the placenta has been completely ingested. 

Your dehydrated placenta is extremely nutrient rich and helps replenish your body, restoring and balancing hormones after the birth of your baby. Experts agree that the placenta retains hormones, thus reintroducing them to your system eases hormonal fluctuations. In addition, your placenta is high in vitamins and minerals such as iron, protein, and vitamin B6. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine has used placenta (Ze He Che) for thousands of years to augment the body’s “Qi” (life-force energy), and nourish body’s “Essence”. Encapsulating your placenta is the easiest (and most tasteless) way to consume this powerful remedy.

Preparation Process

Your placenta will be prepared, dehydrated, and encapsulated adhering to the strictest standards of safety as set forth by OSHA and the EPA, and conforming to local health department guidelines for food preparation and safety protocols. The preparation process is always done in a sanitized environment, using sanitized equipment.

It is recommended to prepare the placenta within 1-3 days of giving birth, and should be kept in a refrigerator or cooler until the process begins. However, if it’s not possible, the placenta should be frozen until ready to be processed.
