Additional Services:
Placenta on a Canvas
Placenta prints make beautiful art, you can frame it and admire the amazing tree of life that nourished your baby for years to come. I use your placenta to create a classic “tree” print on a high-quality 3X5 canvas using vegan-based food coloring before beginning the process for encapsulation. The result is an organic piece of art that is unique to you. Various colors are available.
2 oz Placenta Tincture
A tincture is made with fresh placenta components steeped in grain-based 80% proof alcohol (vodka, gin, or tequila). The tincture is swirled daily for six weeks. This shelf-stable placenta infusion can be used long after your capsules are gone. Use as early as your first menstrual cycle through menopause.
