[COVID-19 PRACTICES UPDATE: DUE TO LIMITED PPE SUPPLIES AND INCREASED PRICES, WE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY OFFERING THE RAW METHOD, UNLESS MEDICALLY INDICATED FOR STEAMING. REQUIREMENTS FOR STEAMING INCLUDE UNTREATED/INADEQUATELY TREATED GBS AND MECONIUM PRESENT PRIOR TO BIRTH. IF YOU PREFER A GENTLER DOSE, AND DO NOT QUALIFY FOR STEAMING, YOU MAY CHOOSE A SMALLER CAPSULE SIZE FOR SMALLER DOSING OR LOWERING YOUR DOSAGE]

There are two methods of processing that I offer, Gentle (aka Traditional Chinese Medicine method), and Potent (aka "Raw" method) 

The Gentle method follows Eastern medicine which believes that postpartum woman should not be exposed to cold energies because it can inhibit healing. It is believed that the placenta carries a cold energy, so when you steam it warm energy is introduced to it and is better for promoting healing. After steaming the placenta, it is then dehydrated and encapsulated. This method produces less capsules that are more gentle, which makes them a great option for those sentive to caffeine or those who's anxiety is triggered by stimulants.

The Potent method follows the belief that cooking breaks down nutrients. For example, a microwave breaks down nutrients more than boiling does, and boiling breaks down nutrients more than steaming does, and raw is the most pure version of our food's nutrients. With this method the placenta is not steamed and immediately dehydrated then encapsulated. This method creates more capsules that can have a much more potent effect on women and are a great option for those looking for more energy or have a history of depression.
