I Encapsulated My Placenta

This is my second time helping my body recover after pregnancy by digesting my placenta. The first time I just added the placenta powder in smoothies and on my food. This time I decided to make pills that I plan to take every morning.

Please understand this is not something you have to agree with at all, but it is something that works for me and my body ❤️.

I will be uploading the way I encapsulated my placenta to my YouTube channel Jen Armstrong @armMRSstrong if you are interested in watching ⭐️

Encapsulating placenta, also known as placenta encapsulation, is a growing practice among new mothers seeking to boost recovery. Many believe that ingesting the placenta can help restore energy levels, balance hormones, and reduce the likelihood of postpartum depression. While scientific research is limited, anecdotal evidence suggests positive effects, including improved lactation and reduced fatigue. In the process of encapsulation, the placenta is typically steamed, dehydrated, and ground into powder before being placed into capsules, making it easy to consume daily. It's crucial for mothers considering this to consult with healthcare providers and ensure all safety measures are in place. Additionally, many mothers document their journey online, creating a supportive community around the practice. Whether you're curious or looking for ways to enhance your postpartum recovery, exploring options like placenta encapsulation could provide valuable insights. Remember to embrace vulnerability and share your experiences with others on platforms like YouTube and content sharing apps, where supportive discussions can flourish.

Just a fyi for those that arent aware but the CDC Doesn’t recommend eating your placenta encapsulated or not, due to the risk of strep B infection. It’s almost impossible to sterilize the placenta to make it safe for consumption, especially if delivered vaginally. Also common side effects are headache and nausea
