Placenta Encapsulation to Fight “Baby Blues” and to Increase Milk Supply

Have you ever heard of placenta encapsulation? It has been around for thousands of years among the Chinese and Vietnamese to support the healing process of the mother after childbirth.  The placenta is believed to be very rich in nutrients and minerals, such as vitamin B6, iron and protein, and therefore, to posses especial properties to fight depression after birth and to keep up your milk supply.

In my personal experience, I did find that taking my placenta caps after birth helped me to heal faster and to keep my milk supply.  Also, I did not experience any baby blues during or after taking the pills.  One additional benefit of encapsulating your placenta is that you may even freeze it and use it when your first signs of menopause kick in!

Since your placenta is produced by your own body, this is a true holistic postpartum pill that you can take without regrets!!
