Placenta Services - $275
Raw Method
The placenta is cleaned and prepped for dehydration immediately. This usually yields a higher quantity of capsules and is believed to best retain the nutrients and hormones.
Traditional Method
This method is based off the Chinese Traditional Method, where the belief is that labor and child birth leaves an open and cold space within the womb. There is an imbalance of the QI (blood/energy source) therefore bringing heat to the placenta encourages the body to balance the empty space with warmth and healing. The placenta is cleaned, steamed with organic lemon and jalapenos, then prepped for dehydration.
Capsules
Capsules are size "00" and are plant based, GF, & GMO free.
