Thankfully there is a way to get all the benefits of the placenta without having to deal with the "ick factor" of actually eating it: encapsulation! The process of encapsulating the placenta is a two day process. After the encapsulation is complete you are able to take a pill everyday just like you would any other supplement!
First you thoroughly rinse the placenta
Then you put it in a steamer to be steamed with traditional herbs (ginger, garlic, and cayenne peppers)
Then you slice it very thin to be dehydrated. You can also dehydrate the umbilical cord to make it a keepsake!
Then you grind it up into powder form. You can also add beneficial herbs to the mix like St. John's Wort, Cayenne Pepper, Red Raspberry Leaf or Garlic.
Then you put it into pills!
And you're finished!
Another great way to use placenta medicine is in the form of a tincture. You can take a few pieces of placenta and cover them with a strong alcohol. The alcohol pulls out all the beneficial properties in the placenta. Placenta tincture is a good way to be able to keep the benefits of the placenta around to use when the mom is going through menopause.
