What is Placenta Encapsulation?

Placenta encapsulation is the process of encapsulating a placenta through dehydrating, grinding dehydrated placenta into a powder, and filling capsules. Ingesting the placenta in any form is called placentophagy. In many cultures, the placenta is regarded as a very magical and spiritual organ.  Because of the important role it plays during pregnancy (it provides the baby with everything it needs to survive), it is treated with respect and care after it is birthed.  There are many different placenta rituals and beliefs, some of which can be very meaningful to families. Placenta encapsulation (consumption of a dried placenta in pill form) is becoming more and more popular, as more women report positive effects from the experience.
