Placenta encapsulation, prints, keepsakes, and tinctures

The placenta is an amazing organ! It is the only organ that is grown once we are out of the fetal development period. It weighs 1-2 pounds and secretes many of the hormones necessary for pregnancy, as well as filtering toxins from the pregnant person's blood and delivering the cleansed blood to feed and nourish the developing baby, then removing toxins from the baby which are brought back to the pregnant person's blood supply and further filtered out by their liver.  There is a lack of scientific data supporting placenta medicine practices, but almost all other mammals consume their placentas directly after giving birth. Additionally people who have consumed their placentas, either encapsulated or raw, have reported better mood postpartum, increased milk supply, and seemingly shorter recovery time. 

With your placenta I can:

• Make a "tree of life" print capturing the pattern of your unique and beautiful placenta
• Make a keepsake with the umbilical cord
• Encapsulate the dehydrated powder after the traditional steam method or raw method of preparation. Your placenta can be steamed with healing herbs to infuse it with certain properties or dehydrated from a raw state. 
• prepare your placenta with homemade compost to be used as fertilizer for a potted or earthbound perennial plant, tree, or shrub
• Make a tincture that can be kept for many years and is often saved for use to relieve symptoms associated with menopause.
