Full Placenta Package
Includes:
Placenta Pills
The placenta can be processed one of two ways- Raw or TCM (Traditional Chinese Method). The amount of pills received will depend on the size of the placenta and the preferred method of preparation.
Placenta Tincture
A tincture is made by placing a small piece of the raw placenta in high grade alcohol and left to macerate for several weeks. This can increase the length and benefits of your placenta for both parent and child. The tincture can be used in any time of trauma, transition, emotional distress, menstrual difficulties and for birthing parent later in life during menopause.
Placenta Prints
The prints are done before any washing or preparing of the placenta occurs, as it is the natural placental blood that creates the print, and the prints are done on acid-free artists paper. Some families frame and hang them, or can be kept for personal keepsakes
Cord Keepsake
The umbilical cord is removed from the placenta and dehydrated in a shape for the family.
