Placenta Encapsulation Brighton: Your Placenta is Magic
Looking for placenta encapsulation in Brighton? Your placenta nourished your baby throughout pregnancy, and now it can support your postpartum recovery in the most natural way. As a professional placenta encapsulation specialist serving Brighton, Lewes, and Eastbourne, I transform your placenta into powerful remedies—pills, tinctures, and homeopathy—to support your healing journey.
Did you know that your placenta is often referred to as the “Tree of Life,” or the “forgotten chakra“? For nine months, your placenta worked tirelessly—filtering, protecting, nourishing. It was the bridge between you and your baby, adapting to their needs at every stage. And when your baby arrives earthside, this incredible organ still has so much to offer you.
Our Body Has an Innate Capability to Heal Itself
Your placenta can help and support you during the postnatal period and beyond.
In many cultures around the world, the placenta is honoured as sacred. It’s prepared as medicine, buried with ceremony, kept as a spiritual connection to the child. These aren’t just traditions—they’re practices rooted in deep body wisdom, in the understanding that this organ carries potent healing properties.
Western medicine is finally catching up to what traditional cultures have always known: your placenta is medicine.
Nutrients Found in the Placenta
Stem Cells and Growth Factors – the placental stem cells support tissue repair and healing after birth. These are the same regenerative cells that helped grow your baby; now they can support your body’s recovery.
Iron – essential for your body’s cells to be able to absorb oxygen and transport it around the body. Blood loss during birth depletes iron stores, and the fatigue so many new parents experience often comes from low iron levels. Your placenta is rich in bioavailable iron—the kind your body can actually use.
Vitamins B6 – helps the body to use and store energy. When you’re running on broken sleep and your body is recovering from birth, B6 supports your energy metabolism at a cellular level.
Vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant, helps to protect cells against free-radical damage. Birth is an intense physical event; antioxidants support healing and reduce inflammation.
Oxytocin hormone – the love hormone, essential for promoting bonding and breastfeeding. Your placenta contains the same hormone that flooded your system during labour and flows when you hold your baby. It supports milk letdown, reduces stress, and deepens the parent-baby bond.
Why Choose Placenta Encapsulation Brighton
The rich nutrients and iron found in placenta encapsulation can provide a natural energy boost during the postpartum period, supporting your recovery and helping you keep up with the demands of new motherhood.
Placenta remedies aid faster postpartum recovery by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and replenishing essential nutrients lost during childbirth. Your body just performed one of the most physically demanding acts possible—it grew and birthed a human. Placenta remedies give your body the building blocks it needs to heal.
Many breastfeeding parents report an increase in milk production after consuming placenta remedies, thanks to their hormone-balancing properties and lactogenic effects. If you’re navigating the early days of breastfeeding, this can be incredibly supportive.
Placenta encapsulation and remedies can:
- Help prevent baby blues and postnatal depression – The hormonal drop after birth is dramatic. Placenta remedies help cushion that fall, supporting emotional balance during a vulnerable time.
- Be very helpful with PMS syndrome – Particularly the tincture, which you can use for years. Many people find it supports hormonal transitions throughout life.
- Increase milk supply – Supporting lactation naturally through hormone balancing and nutrient replenishment.
- Increase iron levels – Restoring what was lost during birth, combating that bone-deep exhaustion.
- Balance hormonal peaks and drops – Smoothing out the wild hormonal shifts of the postnatal period.
- Boost energy to cope with a busy day after little sleep – Because newborn life doesn’t pause for your recovery.

Placenta Encapsulation Pills Brighton
Placenta encapsulation is the preferred method for many due to its longevity and lack of taste.
The process involves cleaning the placenta and then either steaming it with herbs (Chinese method) before dehydration or dehydrating it raw. The Chinese method uses warming herbs like ginger and lemongrass—it’s gentler on the digestive system and follows traditional postpartum warming practices. The raw method preserves all heat-sensitive hormones and enzymes.
Once dehydrated, it’s ground into a fine powder and encapsulated in vegetable-based capsules. You can take them like any supplement—easy, discrete, effective. Most people take 1-3 capsules daily in the early weeks, then as needed. One placenta typically yields 100-200 capsules, lasting several weeks to months.
Placenta Tincture Brighton
Placenta tincture is a very strong remedy. I love tinctures, they are very powerful.
It is made from a piece of your own raw placenta after birth, left in alcohol for 6 weeks. A small piece of raw placenta is preserved in high-proof alcohol, creating a potent extract that captures the placenta’s essence. The alcohol draws out and preserves the hormones and properties, creating medicine that lasts for years—even decades.
Placenta tincture is used for emotional, mental and psychological transitions and may also be very beneficial for treating PMS and menopause. A few drops under the tongue during moments of hormonal stress, anxiety, or transition can be incredibly grounding. It’s like carrying a piece of your birth power with you through life.
My favourite remedies are tincture and homeopathic medicine—both can also be used later on in life to support your hormonal health; such a precious and powerful gift from your body and baby!
Homeopathic Placenta Remedy
Homeopathic placenta remedy can be used as your child’s constitutional remedy for life since it was their life-giving source for their time in-utero.
It contains the blueprint of his/her energetic make-up and hence, the amazing ability to bring balance and healing from within when illness, disease, emotional challenges, or difficult life transitions arise.
This is medicine that works on an energetic level. When your child faces illness, teething pain, emotional upheaval, or any imbalance, their placenta remedy can help bring them back to centre. It’s made from a tiny amount of placenta, diluted and potentised in the homeopathic method, creating a remedy that’s completely safe even for newborns.
Once you have your “starter” made you can potentially request it for life. I make the initial remedy, and you can order more from homeopathic pharmacies whenever you need it. Parents often use it for their children through childhood, adolescence, even adulthood.
Beyond Placenta Encapsulation: Honouring Your Placenta
Not everyone feels called to consume their placenta, and that’s completely valid. There are other beautiful ways to honour this organ that served you and your baby so faithfully.
If you are not keen on remedies you can offer some placenta to the earth, planting a tree underneath, for a ritual or naming ceremony. It doesn’t have to be a big thing; it’s just such a beautiful way to say a big thank you for nourishing your baby and supporting your body and your pregnancy.
Some families bury the placenta in a special place—under a fruit tree, in the garden, somewhere meaningful. As the tree grows, it becomes a living memorial to your baby’s birth. In many cultures, the placenta tree is tended for years, connecting the child to their roots.
Lotus Birth Support Brighton & Lewes
I also offer support and guidance if you want to have a Lotus Birth or Burning the Cord Ceremony.
Lotus birth means keeping baby connected to the placenta until the cord separates naturally, usually 3-10 days after birth. It’s a gentle transition, honouring the baby’s own timing for separation. The placenta is kept in a special bowl, often with herbs and salt, and stays with baby as they begin life earthside.
Burning the cord ceremony is a ritual to mark the physical separation between parent and child. Instead of cutting the cord with scissors, you burn through it with a candle flame once it has stopped pulsating. It’s slower, more intentional, often done with family present. The heat cauterises as it separates, and many people find it deeply meaningful—using fire, transformation, to mark this threshold.
