Transforming Your Placenta
Safe, Professional, and Personalized
Placenta Capsules:
At My Dear Doula, your placenta is carefully cleaned, steamed, and dehydrated. It is then ground into a fine powder and encapsulated in vegan capsules, making it ready for consumption. This process is designed to retain the beneficial properties of your placenta, supporting your postpartum recovery.
Placenta Tinctures:
For a longer-lasting remembrance, we offer placenta tinctures. A small piece of your placenta is preserved in 100-grain alcohol, ready for use six weeks after preparation. Tinctures have an indefinite shelf life with proper storage, serving as a perfect continuation of benefits after your capsules are finished.
Why Consume My Placenta?
Understanding the Anecdotal Benefits
Consuming your placenta is supported by anecdotal evidence suggesting numerous postpartum benefits. These include replenishing lost iron, decreasing anxiety, enhancing energy, supporting lactation, reducing postpartum bleeding, and lowering the risk of mood disorders. Natural hormones such as Oxytocin, Prostaglandins, Cortisone, and Hemoglobin in the placenta are believed to contribute to these benefits.
Additional Offerings
Art and Umbilical Cord
Keepsakes
Complement your placenta encapsulation with unique keepsakes. Our art service uses food-grade dye to imprint the 'tree of life' from your placenta onto watercolor paper. Umbilical cord keepsakes involve dehydrating the cord and transforming it into a lasting symbol of your birth. Both keepsakes are available regardless of encapsulation and are included with our encapsulation services.
