Definitions and Info

​​

Placenta cubes : The placenta is is cleaned and drained of cord blood. The placenta, amnion and chorion is then homogenized (umbilical cord optional if you do not want a cord keepsake) and placed into ice cube tray(s). Trays are then frozen until there are to be removed one at a time to incorporate into smoothies, soups, post roasts etc within the first few days postpartum.

​​

Gentle Method (AKA: Traditional Chinese Method or Steam Method) : The placenta is steamed with fresh Lemon & Ginger and powdered Turmeric (antibacterial properties), sliced and then dehydrated. While this method will yield a slightly smaller number of capsules compared to the Raw process, it provides a lower hormonal load as well, making it the ideal process for those with anxiety (experienced prior to pregnancy). It will still provide all the same hormonal benefits but will be less potent due to steaming. It also is the ideal method to avoid any potential bacterial risk from presence of meconium/fecal matter at birth, GBS infection or other positive STI/STD status of the mother. This method will still allow for a tincture as the alcohol within the tincture sterilizes any bacteria.

​

Prints: Your placenta is used on watercolor paper to create a one-of-a-kind, mirror-image print. No dyes, artificial colors or paints will be used and only the natural blood provided from your placenta alone. Umbilical cord is also typically arranged in spiral, heart, infinity or other symbols. 11x14 print is provided within a plastic envelope and cardboard for safe keeping or can be removed and displayed using only UV filtered glass frame.

​

Raw Process: The placenta is not steamed prior to being sliced and dehydrated and therefore retains more vitamins and nutrients compared to that of the Traditional Chinese Method. Aside from nutrient retention benefits, this method also yields more capsules, on average. However, certain safety concerns exist and therefore, most common contraindicators include presence of meconium at birth (babies first stool), GBS positive results, STI/STD positive, Gestational Diabetes. Due to higher levels of cortisol this method is also not recommended for those who suffered from insomnia (not pregnancy related), diagnosed anxiety prior to pregnancy, or caffeine sensitivity prior to pregnancy. 

​

"Sprouts" Soil: No need to freeze and wait until spring, take up freezer space or risk an animal digging it up. Your placenta (whole or half) is dehydrated, ground and blended with peat soil that can be used to plant a tree, shrub or indoor plant. The nutrients in your placenta will help enrich the soil too.  Order includes a basket and compostable bag with your soil for easy storage until ready for use. Tree not included. A Keepsake umbilical cord heart ornament is included with cash payment

​

Tinctures: A small portion of your placenta and cord-(optional) is removed after cleaning and placed within a 2 oz. vile vodka  along with a small sample of your umbilical cord blood. It will infuse all the same hormonal qualities of your capsules  into the alcohol for a period of 6 weeks. After 6 weeks you can enjoy peace of mind with the as-needed support your tincture will provide even after the capsules are long-gone. Can last a lifetime if properly maintained. Highly encouraged for mothers planning to have their last baby, moms of daughters and those with concerns about perimenopause and menopause. May be use by biological children for teething, pain and discomfort. Biological daughters for support in puberty. Biological mother for menopause symptom management.
