Placenta Encapsulation Is AWESOME!!!

I am writing this post WAY too late.....

After I gave birth to Lyla, my Doula took my placenta home with her.  She returned to my home 2-3 days later to hand me a little jar of my very own 100% personalized (with my own body) happy pills! 

I cannot express enough how AWESOME these pills were!  I received 100 capsuls.  I took 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening; only to realize that I ran out way too quickly!!  I wish I had an endless supply of my placenta.  I don't know or understand why this is not mainstream!  Why in the world would women deny such an amazing thing! 

The benefits of Placenta Encapsulation are:
  • Decrease in postpartum depression.
  • Increase in breastmilk supply.
  • Increase in energy.
  • Decrease in lochia, postpartum bleeding.
  • Decrease iron deficiency.
  • Decrease insomnia or sleep disorders.
  • Decreases postpartum "night sweats".


  • The most noticable benefit for me was my increase in energy.  However, it's hard for me to compare my two births since the first birth was a cesearean.  I didn't get any "baby blues" with my first birth.  I did however have low energy (again, this could be a result of the cesearean).  I also noticed that my uterous shrunk a lot faster with the second birth.  I don't know if this is from taking the "happy pills" or not.  

    When my Doula came to give me my "happy pills", she also gave me a print of my placenta (which I will later hang in my daughter's room).  She mentioned that when she was dehydrating my placenta, her house smelled like Clary Sage!!!  During my labor, she massaged Clary Sage onto the vitaflex points of my feet and ankles.  Clary Sage helps with dilation, so it went directly to my uterous (and placenta).  I was yet again amazed of the power of Essential Oils!
