The placenta is the temporary organ grown in order to sustain your baby. This organ was the middle man for all the nutrients your baby received, everything that you shared with your baby first passed through the placenta. Anything that was not readily needed was also stored within it. It is now commonplace to discard this once vital organ because its role has been fulfilled however, that is not your only option.
There are many anecdotal benefits to consuming your placenta. However, many people find the idea of cooking their placenta or even eating it raw hard to stomach, that is where placenta encapsulation comes in. This service allows you to consume your placenta but in a way that is more tolerable. When Beyond Earthside does your placenta encapsulation, you can rest assured all OSHA sanitation and safety guidelines were followed. Norma thoroughly cleans and sanitizes all equipment and follows blood borne pathogen and ServSafe food guidelines.
Placenta Encapsulation & Services
Lotus Birth Kit $75
In some cultures, the umbilical cord and placenta are kept intact and attached to the baby in what is known as a lotus birth. In this practice, the placenta and umbilical cord are separated within 3-10 days when the umbilical cord naturally falls off, until then the placenta is kept in a bowl or container near the baby. The reasons for this range from a gentler transition into the world to honoring the spiritual connection between the baby and the placenta. Because the placenta is an organ and prone to decay, there are specific things needed to preserve it and prevent any adverse effects. Beyond Earthside offers a kit complete with detailed instructions, a customizable bowl, and a special lotus birth herb blend.
