What if I already had my baby and the placenta is in the freezer?
If you have a placenta that is in the freezer and only 6-10 months old then I can still encapsulate your placenta.
When should the encapsulation process start?
It's best to start within the first few days after the birth. The placenta can sit out in room temp for a frew hours, but should be refrigerated after a few hours or right away. It can be frozen but it will lose some of the benefits, but it should still be good. It can be in a regular freezer for 6 months and a deep freezer for longer, but may not be as good. If you have a placenta in the freezer that has freezer burn on it you may want to think about burying it instead.
My placenta was taken to the Pathology lab at the hospital, is it still usable?
Usually no. They like to put the placenta in formaldehyde which basically destroys the placenta. If they've done that and you still want to do something with the placenta I would suggest burying it.
How many pills should I take?
You can do 1-3 pills at a time and 1-3 times a day. You can adjust your usage as you need. You can drink a glass of white wine with it to help difuse the pill(s), this is optional though. Take your pills with food.
How do I take the placenta tincture?
You put 7-10 drops into a glass of water and drink it.
What is the difference between a placenta tincture and a mother essence?
The essence uses 50% drinking alcohol and 50% placenta water after the placenta piece has steeped in the water. The tincture isn't 50%/50%.
My milk supply is low, can the pills help with that?
Yes. You can increase the usage of your pills to help increase your milk supply. You can also use Fenugreek to help, which you can find in whole food stores or vitamin stores.
I still have pills left but I don't think I need to take any more, what to do with extra pills?
You can keep your pills in a tightly closed container in your freezer and save them for menopause. You can also take your pills during you menstraul cycle to help with blood loss, fatigue, and balancing out your hormones.
What if I've already gave you my placenta, but I've changed my mind?
If you have changed your mind and I haven't started the process then your money will be refunded to you except for a $50 fee. You will also get your placenta back for you to dispose of. If you don't want it to be encapsulated and you don't want your placenta back then you can donate it to me for training.
