Discover Our Placenta Remedies & Customisable Packages

We offer a variety of placenta remedies designed to support your postnatal recovery. You can choose individual remedies like our popular placenta capsules, or create a personalised package by adding other beneficial options such as smoothies, tinctures, and homeopathic remedies. Explore our offerings below to find what best suits your needs.

Placenta Capsules: Two Preparation Methods

Placenta capsules are a widely chosen option for new mothers seeking to support their postpartum well-being. We offer two distinct preparation methods:

1. Simple Method (Raw Preparation)

  • Process: The placenta is carefully sliced in its raw state, then dehydrated at an initial temperature of 70°C (to address surface pathogens and yeasts) before being reduced to 55°C for the remainder of the 14-18 hour drying process. It is then ground and encapsulated.

  • Reported Benefits: Many parents who choose this method report experiencing a noticeable boost in energy.

  • Storage: Store your Simple Capsules in a cool, dry place.

  • Alternative: If you prefer the benefits of raw placenta without capsules, consider our full smoothie package for optimal recovery in the first few days after birth. Smoothie packs can also be added to any capsule order.

2. Steamed Method (Traditional Chinese Medicine Inspired)

  • Process: Drawing from traditional practices where the placenta is viewed as a powerful, life-force-rich organ, this method involves gently steaming the placenta before it is sliced, dehydrated for 10-15 hours, ground, and encapsulated into vegetarian capsules.

  • When is it chosen? This method is often selected based on personal preference or if specific circumstances arise during birth, such as the presence of meconium.

  • Reported Benefits: Parents using steamed capsules often report a calming effect.

  • Storage: Store your Steamed Capsules in a cool, dry place.

  • Combine With: This method can be complemented with other remedies like tinctures, essences, or homeopathic placenta remedies.

Additional Placenta Remedies

Enhance your postnatal experience with these complementary options:

Placenta Tincture

  • What it is: A potent remedy created by steeping a small piece of your raw placenta in high-grade alcohol for six to eight weeks.
  • Benefits: Designed for longer-term use after your capsules are finished. It’s believed to preserve the placenta’s beneficial properties for future use during times of need (e.g., stress, hormonal imbalance, or even for menopause in later life).
  • Suggested Use: Typically 10-40 drops in water, two to three times a day as needed.
  • Top Tip: If you are not planning more children, a placenta tincture is an excellent way to preserve the benefits of your placenta for years to come.

Placenta Homeopathic Remedy

  • What it is: Prepared by an experienced homeopath using a small piece of your placenta, creating a remedy for both you and your baby.
  • Potential Benefits for Mother: May help with emotional balance, “baby blues,” or periods of emotional instability.
  • Potential Benefits for Baby: May assist with common infant discomforts such as colic, fussiness, crying, teething, and during periods of developmental leaps or separation anxiety (e.g., crawling, walking, weaning).
  • Guidance: You will receive a Homeopathic Placenta Remedy Guide with your remedies.
  • Flexible Ordering: You can choose to order this remedy later if you have a capsule to spare.

Placenta Smoothies & Smoothie Packs

A gentle and immediate way to benefit from your placenta.

Placenta Smoothie (Add-on remedy with any capsule option)

  • Benefits: Anecdotal evidence suggests consuming a small piece of raw placenta shortly after birth can help the uterus contract (potentially reducing postnatal bleeding), aid in recovery, and provide an energy boost.
  • Taste & Preparation: We provide a brand new hand blender for each booking to ensure hygiene and peace of mind. Clients often report the smoothie tastes of the fruits and berries included, with no noticeable placenta taste. This option is also chosen by many vegan and vegetarian parents.

Placenta Smoothie Packs

  • Convenience: Receive 10-14 individually packaged smoothie packs, each making approximately two small glasses. These are designed for easy daily use from your freezer in the early postpartum days.
  • How to Use: Simply add the contents of a pack to a jug with water (or other liquid of your choice) and blend.
  • Versatility: You can choose to have your entire placenta made into smoothie packs or combine this option with capsules, tincture, or homeopathic remedies, ensuring no part of your placenta goes to waste.
