Nourishment
nur-ish-muhnt
noun
- something that nourishes; food, nutriment, or sustenance.
- item that supplies the necessaries of life
To nourish is to sustain, and that is precisely the role of the placenta during pregnancy. But the sustenance offered by the placenta does not have to end with the birth of your baby.

Placenta encapsulation for the purpose of consumption is not a recent fad.
Throughout history the placenta has been treated as a sacred organ. Many ancient civilizations and current cultural practices include the consumption of placenta during the postpartum period for nutritional healing purposes.
Although there is limited Western medical research published to prove the positive medical effects of placenta encapsulation, there is overwhelming holistic, anecdotal and testimonial evidence of its benefits.
Central Carolina Doulas clients who have consumed their dehydrated placentas (via capsules prepared by our placenta specialists) report the following benefits:
- Improved overall postpartum mood
- Increase in energy levels
- Restoration or balancing of post birth hormones
- Improved lactation
- Enhanced recovery from birth
- Decrease in the likelihood of postpartum depression
- Low risk of negative side effects (provided the placenta is handled and processed based on recommended safety protocol)
