What can I expect?
The whole process takes 24 hours from start to finish. Phase one is steaming and dehydrating. Phase two is making the pills. This will require two visits to your home. I utilize your home in order to reduce the spread of pathogens from my space to yours, I disinfect the work area with bleach (if you do not prefer bleach in your home, please let me know), I practice excellent hand hygiene by thoroughly washing and wearing gloves at all times while handling your placenta from beginning to end, I do not reuse supplies that come in direct contact with raw placenta, and I sterilize items that come in direct contact with dehydrated placenta after every use.
Your jobs will be to let me know if at any time you find out your placenta is not edible (see list below), contact me once your placenta is ready, and to make sure the placenta is kept refrigerated.
Contraindications to encapsulation:
