IMPORTANT NOTICE:  Health Canada has requested that we no longer share any information on our website about the benefits of using your placenta, whether these benefits be real or perceived.  As such, we encourage you to do your own research about what may be contained in the placenta and how it may or may not help support you in your postpartum experience.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your placenta can be prepared in various ways.  We offer the following options:
​
CAPSULES - Your placenta will be dehydrated, ground and encapsulated in vegetarian capsules.  There are 2 options for encapsulation:

1. raw method:  Your placenta will be dehydrated from a raw state.  This method preserves the largest amount of hormones and nutrients.  It’s not recommended for women who have a history of anxiety, jitters, insomnia or bipolar tendencies.  Its high potency may cause those predisposed to these issues to feel overwhelmed.

2. steamed method: Your placenta will be lightly steamed with organic lemon and ginger prior to dehydration.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is considered important for women in the postpartum period to be kept warm and preparing the placenta in this way brings a warming energy to it.  Some believe that women who are used to eating most of their food cooked are better able to absorb certain nutrients from the placenta when it’s prepared in this way.  

Whichever method you choose, an umbilical cord keepsake will be included free of charge.  

TINCTURE  - A small amount of your placenta will be tinctured in alcohol.  Tinctures keep indefinitely and may be saved for use when your cycles return or for menopause.  

SALVE - The dried placenta powder will be combined with oils, beeswax and herbs to create a salve.    Please inform us of any allergies when ordering a salve.

PRINTS - We will create a beautiful art print of your placenta on high quality watercolour paper which can then be framed or preserved in any way you desire.  There are 2 options for prints:

1. We can use natural blood from your placenta to create the print.  This option is included free of charge if you would like it.

2. We can use food-grade dye to “paint” the placenta and produce a beautiful colour print.
