Which Placenta Capsules are better?
I have been a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist for almost 5 years, and the most popular question I get asked is, What’s the difference between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Placenta Capsules and Simple Placenta Capsules? (also referred to a raw capsules)
The Traditional Chinese Medicine method of Placenta Encapsulation is one of the oldest-known and most commonly used recipes.
Traditional Chinese Medicine principles say that after birth women must restore their ‘yang’ (hotness) otherwise they will suffer from long-term health issues. Which is why the placenta is steamed.
TCM placenta capsules are prepared by gently steaming the placenta with lemons, chilli pepper and ginger. The placenta is then very thinly sliced, dehydrated, ground into a fine powder, and made into Placenta Capsules
Simple Placenta capsules are prepared by very thinly slicing the placenta, dehydrating, ground into a fine powder, and made into Placenta Capsules
Although I offer clients a choice of TCM and Simple Placenta Capsules, my personal recommendation is a combination of both capsules. Half of your placenta will be made the TCM way and the other half the Simple way.
The two methods of encapsulating have different properties and both are used differently. Ultimately by having a combination of the both you benefit more and ensure that you get the most from you Placenta Capsules.
Some clients are clearly drawn to one method of placenta preparation than the other and it’s all a matter of personal preference.
Everyone is different and experience the benefits in different ways, which is why it’s a good idea to have both as you can alternate between the two capsules depending on how you are feeling.
There are other reasons why I recommend a combination of the both. If you would like to find out more please do call me on 07515123124 or send me an email to amanda@earthboundbaby.co.uk
