Placenta Services
"The placenta is our second mother. It is Mother Nature nurturing us with her perfection."
— ROBYN LIM
Saasil Birth's placenta services include placenta encapsulation, tinctures, and prints, as well as pickup and delivery. These placenta services provide a natural and holistic approach to supporting a mother’s physical and emotional well-being during the postpartum period.
The placenta contains essential nutrients and hormones—including iron, vitamin B12, and oxytocin—which can help replenish the mother's depleted supply and regulate mood swings. Consuming placenta is also thought to improve energy levels, boost milk supply, and reduce the risk of postpartum depression.
PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION
The encapsulation process, which involves drying and grinding the placenta into a powder form, allows for easy consumption and long-lasting benefits. Placenta capsules can be prepared using two different methods: steamed (traditional Chinese method, or TCM) or non-steamed (natural or raw method).
The primary distinction is that TCM placenta pills are steamed at a high temperature for a short amount of time with warming Chinese herbs before dehydration; the raw placenta encapsulation is dehydrated at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
The placenta is treated with respect and with all standards of sterilization.
I deliver the capsules to you within five days of the birth.
TINCTURES
The placenta tincture is like an extra bonus in that it can be used in addition to your capsules for a more dynamic healing process. They are a liquid extract with a mix dissolved in it, such as herbs with a placenta piece.
Potential uses of placenta tinctures include:
• Proactive remedy to help with menopause symptoms (preventing hot flashes, palpitations, and mood swings)
• Balancing hormones during PMS
• Reducing risk of postpartum depression
• Easing anxiety and emotional distress
