The Benefits

Benefits of placenta encapsulation

The placenta is a remarkable organ that develops during pregnancy to nourish and protect the growing fetus. It is rich in essential nutrients and hormones, making it a vital part of the pregnancy process.

I.

Natural Pain Relief

The placenta contains natural pain-relieving properties, including oxytocin and endrophins, which can help alleviate pain and discomfort during the postpartum period. This can be especially beneficial for mothers who have experienced a difficult or traumatic birth.

II.

Hormonal Balance

The Placenta contains hormones that may help regulate mood, anxiety and and alleviate symptoms of postpartum depression. Estrogen is known to help regulate mood and reduce the risk of depression, while progestrogen has a calming effect on the body and can help reduce anxiety.

Increased Energy

The Placenta is rich in various nurtients, including iron, B6, and protein, which can help boost energy levels and combat fatigue. Iron is essential for the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body and can help prevent anemia and fatigue. Cortisol and thyroid hormones are also found in the placenta, which are important for regulating energy levels and metabolism.

Faster Recovery

Placenta Encapsulation has been associated with faster healing and reduced bleeding. The placenta contains a wide range of nutrients including iron, protein and vitamin B6, which are all essentail for postpartum healing. Iron is important for the production of red blood cells, which can help prevent anemia and support. Vitamin B6 is important for immune function and can help reduce inflammation in the body. In addition to these nutrients, the placenta also contains various hormones, including prostaglandin, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Improved Milk Supply

Some women have reported an increase in breastmilk production after taking placenta capsules. Prolactin and oxytocin are found in the placenta, which are important for milk production and let down.

Oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone", is responsible for promoting feelings of attachment and bonding, and can help reduce stress levels.

I had the most amazing experience using Cherished Placentas!!!! From the first call, to the delivery of my package, to any random questions I still think of, its been nothing short of incredible communication, understanding, knowledge and kindness!!! I would honestly recommend this company to anyone who is thinking of encapsulating their placenta, or using it for postpartum healing. My placenta was collected from Devon, and the whole process was so smooth and easy, i opted for package 4 which included 50/50 placenta pills, 4 smoothies and a multitude of other goodies! I know its not expected but I got told multiple times that my skin was glowing and I truly believe it was down to the smoothies, pills and the incredible facial oil I had as part of my package! I cannot wait to use this incredible company again, so if you’re embarking on this very special journey, and want a special company to help your healing journey then look no further!!

I had such a beautiful experience with Cherished Placentas after the birth of my first baby. Nikki was absolutely amazing from start to finish so knowledgeable, kind, and supportive during such a special (and sometimes overwhelming!) time. She created incredible products for me, including capsules and smoothies, which made such a difference to my recovery and energy levels. It felt like such a meaningful and empowering way to preserve something so personal and special. I couldn’t recommend Cherished Placentas enough professional, caring, and truly a unique service that I’m so grateful I chose.

My placenta was collected from London and I opted for the Placenta Pills. I had such a pleasant experience using their service. The process was thoroughly explained from the start and any questions I had were answered in a timely manner. I would highly recommend giving the placenta pills a try. I was having my third baby and I found the pills helped bring in my breastmilk earlier and my milk had a heavy consistency. What I loved most was that I felt I skipped the ‘postpartum blues’ phase. I had a lot more energy and felt a lot more normal hormonally - Even after the pills had finished. The Placenta Pills are nicely packaged and I received a heart shaped piece of the umbilical cord. A beautiful touch! If you’re thinking about it, just go ahead. The post partum journey is a rough road, however the Placenta Pills made it that little bit easier. Thank you!

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about placenta encapsulation, our process, and how we support you.

What are the benefits of placenta pills?

+

Hormone Regulation: After childbirth, a woman's hormone levels can fluctuate significantly. Placenta pills are believed to help restore hormonal balance, as they contain hormones like oxytocin and progesterone. This can aid in reducing the risk of postpartum mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety.

Increased Energy Levels: The postpartum period can be physically draining. Placenta pills contain essential nutrients like iron, which can help combat fatigue and boost energy levels during a time when sleep is often limited.

Enhanced Healing: The placenta is packed with growth factors that may support tissue repair and wound healing, particularly in the uterine area after childbirth. This can help speed up the postpartum recovery process.

Improved Lactation: For mothers who plan to breastfeed, placenta pills are believed to promote milk production. They can provide the extra nourishment needed to support a growing baby.

Emotional Well-being: Postpartum mood swings and emotional upheaval are common. Placenta pills may help balance emotions, reduce mood swings, and create a sense of overall well-being during the postpartum period.

How are placenta pills prepared?

+

Placenta encapsulation involves a meticulous process that includes cleaning, dehydrating, and encapsulating the placenta into easy-to-consume pills. The process is typically carried out by experienced professionals who ensure strict hygiene and safety standards. Many providers offer this service, and it's essential to choose a reputable one with experience in placenta encapsulation.

Consulting a healthcare professional or doula who is familiar with this practice is advisable before making a decision.

The Ancient Roots of Placenta Encapsulation

+

Placenta encapsulation might seem like a novel idea, but it has ancient roots in various cultures around the world. Traditional postpartum practices in many societies have recognized the placenta's potential healing properties for centuries. In Chinese medicine, for instance, the placenta is believed to have "qi" or life energy, which can be consumed to help replenish the new mother's vitality. Similarly, in some African cultures, the placenta is considered a sacred and powerful organ, often buried with rituals that honor its significance.

The Modern Resurgence

Placenta encapsulation in modern Western societies has made a resurgence in recent years. It involves the process of cleaning, dehydrating, and encapsulating the placenta into pills, which the new mother can consume. While this practice may raise eyebrows for some, proponents argue that it offers a range of potential benefits for postpartum recovery.

Is it worth turning placenta into pills?

+

Placenta pills represent a natural and holistic approach to postpartum recovery. While their benefits are still the subject of debate, many mothers have reported positive experiences with placenta encapsulation. If you're considering this option, consult with a healthcare professional and choose a reputable provider to ensure safety and efficacy. Your postpartum journey is a unique and transformative time, and finding the right support can make all the difference in your well-being and the well-being of your newborn.

Can I still use your services if I smoked during this pregnancy?

+

Sadly not. Maternal smoking impairs human placental development by changing the balance between cytotrophoblast (CTB) proliferation and differentiation.

Whats included in the price?

+

1. A pharmaceutical-grade cooler box, specifically designed and validated to keep your placenta below critical control temperature for up to five days, even during the summer months.

2. Your chosen product(s), prepared with care.

We understand that unless you have a planned caesarean, you won't know exactly when your baby will arrive - this simply gives you a helpful overview of your options ahead of the big day.

We can arrange same-day collection from any UK residential address, provided your cooler box is ready for collection by 10am on the day.
