Placenta Encapsulation $300
We utilize two different preparation methods before the dehydration process. Choose between Traditional Chinese Method or Simple Preparation (or the best of both worlds with our 1/2 & 1/2 option). After the placenta has been properly dehydrated, it is micro-milled (to a cinnamon consistency) and tightly tamped into size 0 capsules. Moms who have encapsulated with other providers report having to consume fewer capsules daily to achieve the desired effect due to our milling process.
We do not charge double pricing for twin births. There is a slight increase in the charge to cover the additional packaging.
Simple Prep $300
Often referred to as “raw preparation”, but we’ve found that is a misnomer, so we refer to it as “simple prep”. There is no additional heat added to the placenta before the dehydration process. The placenta retains its size and slightly more hormone content. Simple Preparation of a healthy placenta will yield approximately 100-250 capsules. Anecdotal reporting tells us that this gives the capsules a rapid onset energy boost that tends to wear off more quickly.
TCM $300
Also known as the Traditional Chinese Method. The placenta is gently steamed, with herbs and spices (organic lemon, grated ginger, fresh jalapeno) before dehydration. This process causes the placenta to shrink slightly and changes the hormones on a molecular level. Anecdotal reporting tells us this renders the capsules with a slightly less intense energy boost, but extends the length of the capsule’s effects. TCM of a healthy placenta will yield 80-200 capsules. If any of the following apply to you, this is the ideal method for you.
- Sensitivity to caffeine
- Struggle with reflux
- Sensitivity to aftertastes
- Positive test results for Group B Strep, STIs, or other microbial concerns
- Meconium is present at birth
1/2 & 1/2 Prep $315
Receive the best of both worlds by having half of your placenta prepared with Simple Prep and the other half TCM. The capsules will be packaged separately and labeled accordingly.
Placenta Tincture $40
Experience the full range of benefits your placenta has to offer by adding a tincture to your postpartum regimen. Each tincture contains 4 ounces of a highly concentrated liquid version of your placenta capsules. The tincture is made by submerging a small piece (1”x1”) of raw placenta in 80 proof, gluten-free vodka, and left to cure for a minimum of six weeks.

Placenta Salve $50
A MUST have for C-section and nursing moms. This is a deeply nourishing and restorative balm, made with organic oils, butters, herbs, and a small portion of your placenta powder (equivalent to 5 capsules). The ingredients are combined and steeped together on a low heat setting for several hours. This process extracts the medicinal properties of the herbs and the stem cells from the placenta powder, creating a skin-soothing balm. There are no preservatives or essential oils added to the salve. So it is completely safe for the baby to nurse without having to wash the product off with soap and water (like Lanolin). The placenta salve is an extremely universal product, but the most common application for it includes
- Use on C-section or episiotomy scars
- cracked or sore nipples from nursing
- baby acne
- diaper rash
- other minor cuts, scrapes, wounds
It is very important not to store your salve in direct sunlight or subject it to extreme temperature changes (it will melt if it gets too hot). We always recommend using the small spatula included to remove the desired amount of product from the tin to prevent cross-contamination.
Umbilical Cord Keepsake $0-10
Each placenta encapsulation order comes with a natural finish, umbilical cord keepsake at no additional cost. If you would like your cord preserved, but are not ordering an encapsulation, then a $10 charge is added to your order.
Placenta Prints $0-35
Each order includes at least two unique placenta prints made with the residual fluids of the placenta. These prints are then gently pressed onto high-quality watercolor paper, with the smooth side facing the baby’s side (smooth side with the umbilical cord). The paper is slowly peeled back to reveal a “stamp” of the placenta. Prints are free with the purchase of encapsulation. If you are not encapsulating your placenta, a $35 charge is added to your order. If you would like color prints made with herbal paints, please indicate on your order form.
