There are multiple potential benefits of encapsulating your placenta including:
- a decrease in postpartum mood disorders
- increased production of oxytocin
- a decrease in stress hormones
- restoration of iron levels following bleeding after birth
- increased milk supply
GENERAL DIRECTIONS (but do what’s best for you!) - take 1-2 in the morning and afternoon for the 1st two weeks, then 1 pill a day until gone
My personal experience --
I had a smaller placenta with my son, but it still yielded 69 capsules which lasted me 5 weeks and 3 days postpartum. I found that taking 4 seemed to be the best in the first two weeks, then I started taking about 2 a day. I mainly did what my body needed, as my emotions seemed to be more erratic when I hadn’t taken them, or not enough! I definitely saw an improvement in my emotions and mood when I took my capsules! I think it also helped with my bleeding- which was pretty minimal after the first couple days!

Your placenta powder can also be made into beautiful jewelry, believe it or not! Check out The Empowered Mama.
You can also have keepsakes made with your umbilical cord, and art made of your placenta.
