“Imagine a world in which every human is born with an intact capacity to love.” – Robin Lim

the art of placentophagy.

Placentophagia is the process of a new mother consuming her placenta postpartum by either eating the placenta raw, cooked, in capsule form or drinking the juices from the placenta once it is cooked.

“The placenta, the root of your origin, is a miraculous organ that shares and protects your life. Your placenta is genetically identical to you. Though you share some of your parents' genetic identity, unless you have an identical twin, no one, except your placenta, has ever been so perfectly, exactly you. Sexual reproduction, the act of creating new life, only works because of the placenta. Historically, our creation stories tell of the Earth Mother birthing the world: her amniotic fluid became the oceans, the placenta became the Tree of Life. This demonstrates how essential the placenta is to our survival and how embedded it is in our psyche.” - Robin Lim

Placenta encapsulation specialist offerings

Placenta Encapsulation

There are two primary methods of placenta encapsulation: the Raw Foods Method and the Traditional (non-raw) Method.

Raw Foods Method:
This method skips the steaming or heating process entirely. The placenta is dehydrated in its raw state before being ground and placed into capsules.

Traditional (Non-Raw) Method:
In this approach, the placenta is gently steamed—either on its own or with added ginger. Incorporating ginger introduces a warming element, believed to support the postpartum body by encouraging the uterus to contract, promoting blood flow to areas in need of healing, and helping to replenish Qi (vital energy).

Raw Placenta Smoothies

Using small portions of raw placenta immediately after birth is becoming an increasingly popular and meaningful part of postpartum healing for many mothers. Blended into familiar green or fruit smoothies, this method offers the immediate benefits of placental consumption while the rest of the placenta is being prepared for encapsulation.

Consuming raw placenta shortly after birth may support hormone regulation, energy levels, and is often used as a natural alternative to pharmaceutical methods for managing postpartum bleeding.

Placenta Tinctures

Capsules aren’t the only way to receive the physical benefits of the placenta. I also offer a long-lasting tincture made from a small piece of the placenta, steeped in high-proof alcohol.

Tinctures are a powerful alternative that allow you to preserve and use the benefits of your placenta for years to come—offering support well beyond the immediate postpartum period.

Mother Tea, Soup & Balm

The herbal liquid left behind after steaming the placenta—often called "mother tea"—can be used in nourishing soups or healing sitz baths. It’s rich in minerals and believed to support recovery and balance.

Additionally, Black Salve, a traditional remedy, is sometimes used for its potential to help draw out toxins and support healing when applied topically.

Placenta Keepsakes

Long after the capsules are gone and healing has taken place, you may want to honor and remember your postpartum journey. Placenta prints offer a beautiful, symbolic way to complete the cycle—a lasting reminder of the powerful work your body has done.
