  • Detroit placenta encapsulation

    Placenta Encapsulation

    The Placenta Encapsulation package offers a natural approach to postpartum recovery by encapsulating the placenta for consumption. This practice, which has been part of postpartum care for centuries but gained recent popularity, is based on the idea that the placenta is rich in essential nutrients like iron, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.

    By encapsulating the placenta, it's believed to provide several benefits, including hormonal balance, potentially reducing postpartum depression and anxiety. It may also boost energy levels and support a faster recovery, aid in milk production, offer pain relief through natural opioids, and help alleviate postpartum symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and baby blues.

    The service is designed to empower new mothers to have a smoother and more balanced postpartum experience.

    Investment: $300

    Medicaid clients: $250
