You’ve read the birth books, prepped your hospital bag, and maybe even written a birth plan—but what about your postpartum plan?
At Raw Awakening, we believe that how you feel after giving birth is just as important as how you deliver. One powerful, natural option that’s gaining more awareness among expecting mothers is placenta encapsulation—a traditional practice that’s making a modern comeback.
🌿 What Is Placenta Encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing your placenta—by dehydrating, grinding, and placing it into capsules—for you to consume postpartum. While it may sound unusual at first, it’s a practice that dates back centuries and is rooted in the belief that the placenta holds vital nutrients and hormones that can help support healing.
💊 Why Moms Are Choosing It
Here’s what many moms report after taking their placenta capsules:
More energy during those sleepless newborn weeks
Balanced mood and reduced symptoms of the baby blues
Increased milk supply
Faster recovery and reduced postpartum bleeding
Replenished iron levels and essential nutrients
Your placenta is rich in iron, protein, hormones like oxytocin and prolactin, and nutrients that your body worked hard to create—why not reclaim them for your own recovery?
💗 A Service Created By a Mother, For Mothers
At Raw Awakening, our placenta encapsulation process is safe, sacred, and personalized. We honor your birth journey by handling your placenta with care, using food-safe methods and offering options like:
A postpartum partner every step of the way
Cord keepsakes
