PLACENTA SERVICES

Placenta encapsulation has become more and more mainstream in the past several years, and many women rely heavily on it during their postpartum recovery period.

Simply stated, placenta encapsulation is the process of dehydrating and crushing the mother’s placenta into capsule form. While individual results may vary, anecdotal evidence points to many benefits, such as:

Hormonal balancing

Increased milk supply

Decreased fatigue

Decreased postpartum bleeding

Lone Star Doulas upholds rigorous safety standards throughout the placenta encapsulation process. Clients in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio transport the placenta themselves to their own homes, thus ensuring that their placenta travels safely from the hospital to home. All processing takes place in the client’s home, which reduces the risk of exposure to unfamiliar bacteria.
