PLACENTA SERVICES
Your placenta has nourished your baby for nine months, and its role doesn't have to end at birth.
We offer placenta encapsulation as a natural way to support your body through the intense hormonal shifts of the early weeks. By replenishing vital nutrients and hormones, we aim to help you find your natural balance and ease the transition into your postpartum recovery.
Replenish iron stores to combat postpartum anemia and fatigue.
Restore Energy
Utilize natural Prolactin and Human Placental Lactogen to enhance milk production.
Support Lactation
Promote Healing
Use your body's own Oxytocin and Prostaglandins to help the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size and reduce post-birth bleeding.
Balance Mood
Regulate hormones like Estrogen and Progesterone to keep the 'baby blues' at bay.
The Benefits:
-
Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone: Contributes to mammary gland development in preparation for lactation; stabilizes postpartum mood; regulates post-birth uterine cramping; decreases depression; normalizes and stimulates libido.
-
Prolactin: Promotes lactation; increases milk supply; enhances the mothering instinct.
-
Oxytocin: Decreases pain and increases bonding in mother and infant; counteracts the production of stress hormones such as Cortisol; greatly reduces postpartum bleeding; enhances the breastfeeding let-down reflex.
-
Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor (POEF): Stimulates the production of your body’s natural opioids, including endorphins; reduces pain; increases well-being.
-
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Regulates the thyroid gland; boosts energy and supports recovery from stressful events.
-
Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH): Low levels of CRH are implicated in postpartum depression. Regulation of CRH helps prevent depression.
-
Cortisone: Reduces inflammation and swelling; promotes healing.
-
Interferon: Triggers the protective defenses of the immune system to fight infection.
-
Prostaglandins: Regulates contractions in the uterus after birth; helps uterus return to its pre-
-
pregnancy size. Anti-inflammatory effects.
-
Iron: Replenishes maternal iron stores to combat anemia, a common postpartum condition. Increases energy; decreases fatigue and depression.
-
Hemoglobin: Oxygen-carrying molecule which provides a boost in energy.
-
Urokinase Inhibiting Factor and Factor XIII: Stops bleeding and enhances wound healing.
-
Immunoglobulin G (IgG): Antibody molecules which support the immune system.
-
Human Placental Lactogen (hPL): This hormone has lactogenic and growth-promoting properties; promotes mammary gland growth in preparation for lactation in the mother. It also regulates maternal glucose, protein, and fat levels.
