Placenta Encapsulation

While it is best to use the placenta as soon as possible, it can be beneficial months later as long as it has been preserved properly. Placenta encapsulation is the most popular form of consumption for women who want to take advantage of the long-term benefits of harnessing and utilizing the nutrients and hormones from their placentas. Some of the reported benefits include naturally increased milk production, reduced post-partum depression, speedier return of the uterus to its pre-pregnancy state, replenished iron and energy, lessened post-natal bleeding, eased symptoms of menopause, and more.

If you want to take advantage of placenta encapsulation, it is very important to make the arrangements with a qualified specialist prior to your birth. For more information, please contact 404-692-0678 or email info@luminabirth.com.
