Understanding "Baby Blues"

About 80% of women experience "baby blues," a common phase not classified as a disorder by medical experts. Symptoms, mood swings, weepiness, sadness, anxiety, trouble focusing, and dependency, typically resolve within a few weeks.

Throughout the world, generations have passed down the knowledge of how ingesting the placenta helps a mother’s postpartum recovery. Today in Europe and America parents are rediscovering the healing powers of the placenta. The placenta has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for more than 1400 years! Until the end of the 19th century even pharmacies in Europe sold placenta powder. Scientists have discovered that the placenta contains hormones that inhibit stress and trigger the release of endorphins. The placenta aids in the recovery process from childbirth by restoring lost hormones and iron. This aids by augmenting lactation, preventing mood swings, and helping your child in this vital time of bonding and nurture. High levels of the prostaglandin hormone in the placenta help to stimulate the shrinking of the uterus to pre-pregnant size and to shorten bleeding time. The placenta also contains high levels of the hormone oxytocin, which eases birth stress and causes the smooth muscles around the mammary cells to contract and eject milk. A baby experiences love for its mother as a result of the oxytocin in her milk. In TCM, the placenta is considered a powerful and sacred medicine full of life force ”Qi”. Raven Lang, a midwife who has studied TCM, advises women to use the placenta during the postpartum period to aid recovery from childbirth, prevent postpartum depression, and minimize bleeding. Many of the difficulties associated with the postpartum period, including nursing, would not arise if we returned to the old custom of applying placenta remedies.

Traditional Chinese Method (TCM): The placenta is steamed, sliced, dehydrated, pulverized, and encapsulated. Steaming, a key TCM step, enhances its medicinal properties. Yields approximately 140–180 "0" sized capsules, depending on placenta size.
Raw Method: The placenta is sliced, dehydrated at 160°F, pulverized, and encapsulated. This energizing option yields 140–200 "0" sized capsules but may not suit everyone.
Please contact me before your due date with your estimated delivery date, birth location, and to schedule a meeting. This allows us to discuss the process, benefits, and dosage in detail, leaving you undisturbed during your babymoon.
I can encapsulate at your home or pick up the placenta from an agreed-upon location, using my own equipment and adhering strictly to OSHA guidelines. For best results, encapsulation should begin within 48 hours of birth. The process requires two visits and is completed within 24 hours, covering preparation, drying, and encapsulating. All equipment is fully sterilized for your safety.
