Traditional Chinese Medicine Capsules (TCM)
TCM capsules involve the steaming and dehydration of the placenta, followed by encapsulation. TCM practitioners believe that this method enhances the placenta’s therapeutic properties. The potential benefits of TCM capsules include:
Vital Energy Restoration: TCM capsules are believed to replenish vital energy, potentially aiding in postpartum recovery and revitalization.
Blood Nourishment: TCM views the placenta as a blood tonic. Consuming TCM capsules may help nourish blood, promoting overall postpartum wellness. This idea could be related to capsules 24% RDA of Iron they provide.
The Raw Start Method for Placenta Encapsulation
A natural and minimally processed approach to encapsulating your placenta that retains its most potent nutrients and healing properties. The Raw Start Method involves processing the placenta with little to no heating before it is dehydrated. This approach is designed to preserve the placenta’s enzymes, iron, and other vital nutrients, maximizing the benefits for your postpartum recovery.
-
Increased energy levels due to the rich iron content and nutrient preservation.
Faster emotional recovery by promoting hormone balance and reducing the risk of postpartum blues.
Enhanced milk supply, as the placenta contains prolactin and other hormones that support lactation.
Boosted immune function through the placenta’s natural antibodies and stem cells.
TCM VS Raw Start Method
Unlike the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method, which involves steaming the placenta with warming herbs, the Raw Start Method skips the steaming process. This allows for quicker processing and is a great option for mothers who value a more natural and unaltered encapsulation method.
Which method is right for me?
THE TCM METHOD
If you’re looking for a warming and traditional approach that supports gentle digestion, the TCM method might be the better fit.
The RAW START METHOD
If you prefer a natural and nutrient-dense option that retains more raw properties, the Raw Start Method may suit your needs.
Ultimately, your choice should reflect your comfort level, recovery goals, and what resonates with your postpartum care philosophy. At Anointed Births, we’re happy to guide you through this decision and answer any questions you may have to ensure your placenta encapsulation experience is safe, supportive, and aligned with your preferences.
tintures
Tinctures are prepared by steeping small pieces of dried placenta in alcohol. They are typically consumed orally. It is believed that tinctures can offer the following benefits
Hormonal Regulation: The placenta contains hormones, such as progesterone and estrogen, which may help with postpartum hormonal imbalances. Some anecdotal reports suggest that tinctures can support hormone regulation postpartum.
Energy Boost: Tinctures may provide an energy boost due to the potential presence of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
