Traditional Method of Encapsulation - It is believed that warming the body inside and out can help bring lost energy back to a mother in the days after birth. By steaming the placenta prior to dehydration, warming energy is created that can be consumed by the mother via her capsules. Some request to have an organic lemon, ginger, and jalapeno pepper placed into the steaming water. The placenta will be respectfully rinsed clean with cool water, inspected, steamed, and dehydrated for a minimum of 12 hours, or until “snap dry”. The dehydrated placenta is then ground into a fine powder and placed into capsules. This method provides for a slower and more steady release of hormones back to the mother. 

Raw Method of Encapsulation - The placenta is processed in the same manner as the Traditional Method but without steaming. The placenta is thinly sliced raw and then dehydrated until “snap dry”. Some mothers experience a quicker and more potent release of hormones with this method.

Umbilical Cord Keepsake - The cleaned umbilical cord is shaped and dehydrated for a keepsake of the pregnancy.

Placenta Tincture - A small amount of placenta powder is steeped in high-proof alcohol for 6 weeks. Meant to be diluted in a beverage and consumed after placenta capsules are finished. In most cases, when properly stored, this tincture can be used for many years during times of stress, life transition, menopause, etc. 

Adding a tincture to your package will help to extend the benefits of your placenta once you have finished your capsules. Tinctures can last many years when properly stored.
