Placenta Encapsulation and Benefits
Your own placenta, made into capsules, is incredibly nutritious and beneficial to you. Women who take their placenta capsules tend to have better postpartum experiences, avoid the baby blues, have an increase in energy, and an increase in milk production. Traditional Chinese Medicine has used placenta for centuries to treat issues such as fatigue and insufficient lactation, and scientific studies have bolstered the use of placenta for these conditions. Using the placenta for your postpartum recovery is a very easy and natural way to help you feel better after the birth.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine the Placenta is considered as a powerful and sacred medicine full of life force"QI". It's said that the use of Placenta Medicine during the postpartum time helps you to recover faster from childbirth.
The placenta is loaded with a variety of natural hormones. It is a source of iron, protein, enzymes and more.
Potential benefits include:
80% of women suffer from the "Baby Blues." Baby blues is not considered a disorder by the medical community because the majority of women experience it , and because it will eventually regulate itself within a few weeks. Symptoms last the first few weeks and include: Mood instability, Weepiness, Sadness, Anxiety, Lack of concentration, and Feelings of dependency.

The Mother Tincture is a great remedy after the immediate postpartum time.
The Mother Tincture can be helpful in stressful situations, low energy, feeling depressed or out of balance, transitions, PMS, and Menopause. I usually prepare 500 ml (16oz,) of the tincture and its recommended to take 20 to 30 drops as needed. If you are familiar with flower essences, think of the Mother Tincture working for your body like those. This tincture is preserved in 100% proof alcohol and can be stored for many many years to come. The process takes approx. 6 weeks! $60 includes :

Homeopathic 6c Remedy is the perfect constitutional remedy for your baby.
This tincture is preserved in 80% proof alcohol and can be stored for many many years to come.
The theory is, that having a remedy at hand for your baby that is made from her placenta is like having a bit of a magic potion for the baby. A remedy to use at times of illness, shock, transition or change and when you intuitively feel to. The homeopathic remedy comes in one 100 ml bottle of 6c remedy and a 100ml bottle 1c mother essence which will make a life long supply. Its recommended to take 10 drops as needed.

Diksha's Training and Education...
I began my official training in placenta encapsulation in 2009 and have prepared over 500 placentas since then.
- Placenta Encapsulation Workshop – Big Belly Services, Carrie Kenner
- Placenta Encapsulation Training and Certification – Full Circle Encapsulation ( now International Placenta & Postpartum Association IPPA)
- Washington State Food Worker Course
- Bloodborne Pathogens & Infection Control for Placenta Encapsulation Specialists – Biologix Solutions
- Advanced Preparation and Postpartum Healing – Full Circle Encapsulation
I use the Traditional Chinese Method in which the placenta gets first steamed, then sliced and dehydrated before it gets pulverized and encapsulated. The process of steaming the placenta is in TCM an integral part of formation and action of the medicine. Depending on the size and consistence you may get 140 to 180 "0" sized capsules from your placenta.
I also offer Raw Method preparation in which the placenta gets sliced and dehydrated at 160 °F,
then pulverized and encapsulated. Depending on the size and consistence you may get 140 to 200 "0" sized capsules
from your placenta. The Raw Method can be very energizing and is not always recommended.
Please contact me before the birth to let me know your estimated due date, the intended birth place and to schedule a meeting. This gives us a chance to talk more into depth about the encapsulation process, the benefits and dosage. Also, this way I don't have to disturb you with questions and too many explanations during your babymoon.
I will either come to your home for the encapsulation process or pick up your placenta at an agreed upon location. Either way I will use my own equipment and follow strictly OSHA guidelines during the preparation of your placenta. Best results will be obtained if the placenta is prepared within 48 hours or so of the birth. The entire encapsulation process will take two visits and is finished within 24 hours, including preparation, drying, and encapsulating.
Your placenta is prepared using ONLY and ALL sterilized equipment!
Testimonials
Diksha encapsulated my placenta and made an herbal remedy for the baby. She was such a pleasure to work with!! She understood my specific needs and worked to help me in every way she could. She has such a loving and easy going personality, exactly what anyone would want during such an important time. I felt like her only client, always having her undivided attention and support. I couldn't recommend her enough!

I quickly became interested in the Placenta Medicine after reading that it may help with the baby blues. I have a history with depression and I was well aware that I may be a prime candidate for Postpartum Depression. My husband and I met with Diksha and we knew right away it was something that we wanted to try. My husband was so intrigued that he even asked if he could take it! ( She said he could, but suggested he might want to save it for me.)
I started the pills the day I received them ( just a day after birth). I also had a huge abundance of milk, I'm not sure if that was the pills or just my body, but the milk was definitely there!
After the pills ran out, I started taking the tincture. The very first time I had such a burst of energy that I cleaned the whole house! I continue to take it when I am lacking energy, feel emotional, or feel out of sorts. I LOVE the tincture probably take it more often than the average person, but I feel that it really balances my mind and body.
At four months old I gave Little V her first cold. We used her homeopathic remedy and it seemed to knock most of it out. She only had a bit of a runny nose after, but no cough or sneezing. We have also used it a few other times when she was not herself or a change was happening. I am anxious to see it work as she gets older.
I cannot say enough good things about the Placenta Medicine. In all honesty, I could barely look at a picture of a placenta without getting a little queasy, but as I learned about it's amazing properties, I now see it as a life source and a life saver. I truly believe that it saved me from PPD, and it let me enjoy the new life that we had just brought into this world.

I wish I had known Diksha when I had my first son! Now the placenta pills, those things are amazing! With my first son I was LAID OUT for oh gee I don't know.. weeks??? and he was a natural birth, no complications, etc.. this time around I started the placenta pills, which by the way Diksha delivered them to me at the hospital the very next day. I was out and to the playground on day 6! I felt so much better than I did after my first birth. I got my color back right away. I felt so much more alert and less weepy. My post partum bleeding was a whole week shorter than it was with my first. I am a believer! Diksha also captured some amazing pictures of my placenta, which I was thankful for, because I hadn't even thought to ask to see it while at the hospital. I also cannot say enough about the Homeopathic remedy and the Mother's Tincture.. I used the homeopathic remedy when my older son was starting to get sick.. I used it on both kids and my son's fever went right away within a couple hours and his cold symptoms went away too! I used the Mother Tincture for myself when I was getting sick and I only ended up being sick for a day! My sister also used my Mother Tincture after her traumatic birth. Her baby was in the NICU so she was very emotional and the first day of using the tincture was the first day post partum that she hadn't cried! It definitely helped her emotionally! Diksha even dehydrated the umbilical cord for a keepsake for me! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Diksha and her services. I'm just sad that I likely won't be having any more babies! If I ever did, I'd be sure to have Diksha there again! Thank you so much for everything

I'm sorry that I haven't emailed sooner to let you know how everything was going with the placenta capsules and tinctures. They are amazing! Sadly I ran out of the capsules quite awhile ago but the tinctures have been very helpful as well. My little one, has never been sick thanks to hers! A couple times when her dad had a cold (I never got it, I attribute my tincture :) ) she started to get a little cough so I gave her a few drops a couple times a day and she was healthy as can be!
Also, I occasionally get cold sores. I can't take the medication I have for them right now because it affects my milk supply. When I got one I decided to take my tincture to see if it would help. It did! The cold sore was gone in about 4 days, usually it takes about 10! The placenta is SO amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Can't tell you how amazing the past two weeks have been. This has been the best post delivery experience I have ever had and I attribute it all to the placenta pills. I feel completely like myself! All my family - especially my husband has commented on how calm and relaxed I am, which is a huge change from the anxiety I've had with my other two. I can't tell you how grateful I am for this amazing service you provide! It truly is amazing and I will most definitely be telling all my friends. Thank you for your passion and desire to care for women at this pivotal time in our lives. It truly is a labor of love and I could not be more grateful. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
