✨ Thinking about placenta encapsulation but hearing mixed messages?
You’re not alone — and we’re here to clear things up. 👇
“Is it safe if the placenta ‘crosses the rectum’ during birth?”
✨ Short answer: Yes, with proper handling.
If the placenta comes into contact with fecal matter during delivery, that’s taken seriously. At Raw Awakening, we thoroughly inspect and clean the placenta. If contamination is present, we will not encapsulate. Safety is always our top priority.
“Do the benefits of placenta encapsulation deteriorate quickly?”
⏳ Not if handled properly.
We follow strict timing and temperature guidelines to preserve as many nutrients and hormones as possible.
📦 Prompt cooling + professional processing = maximum benefit.
“Do I need to bring a cooler to the hospital?”
✅ Yes — and we’ll walk you through it.
If your hospital or birthing center doesn’t provide cold storage, a simple cooler with ice packs will do the trick.
Keep placenta under 40°F / 4°C until pick-up.
We’ll send clear prep instructions so you’re ready!
“What if my doctor says no?”
💬 You’re the decision-maker.
Some providers aren’t familiar with modern placenta encapsulation safety standards. We’re happy to provide documentation or chat with them directly so you can make the most empowered choice for your healing.
