Placenta Encapsulation
Preparation methods:
TraditionalMethod (recommended)
The placenta is gently steamed before being dehydrated, ground into powder and put in to capsules. This method is based off the Traditional Chinese Medicine method.
RAW Method
The placenta is dehydrated from it's raw state, ground into powder and put into capsules. People that follow a raw food diet may prefer this method. There is no research proving that it holds more nutritional value than the traditional method.
Tinctures: $25
A small piece of placenta is placed in a bottle with 150 proof grain alcohol. It can be kept for many years to be used for mentruation or in times of transition.
Qualifications:
The safety of the mother and the encapsulation specialist is of utmost importance. As an APPA certified encapsulation specialist, I have been trained in the safe handling of all materials in the encapsulation process. I have also received OSHA blood borne pathogens training.
Fees include pickup in Red Deer. If within 25km of the city, a $25.00 travel fee will apply. If you would like to arrange pick-up/drop off, this fee is waived. Clients outside of this travel area will need to arrange transport themselves.
