Placenta encapsulation in Salt Lake City offers a natural way to support your postpartum recovery. At Doulas of Utah, we provide safe, in-home placenta encapsulation using professional standards so you can feel confident in both the process and your care.
What Is Placenta Encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing your placenta after birth by steaming, dehydrating, and placing it into capsules for postpartum use.
At Doulas of Utah, the options we present are supported by the evidence available. In some cases, it’s scientific research, in others it’s anecdotal, but with placenta encapsulation, it is a combination of both.
Because western medicine takes a while to catch up with eastern medicine, there has not been a ton of research done regarding the benefits of placenta consumption. The little bit that has been done showed some tremendous benefits regarding milk supply.
The anecdotal evidence, however, is plentiful and shows resounding benefits across the nation.
Parents are sharing with other parents just how much a difference placenta encapsulation for consumption made for their postpartum recovery!
