Admitedly, I had never heard of Placenta Encapulation when I was about to birth my first baby in Columbus. I think I first heard about it when Kim Kardashian was in the news for ate hers. I came across that story right after my second son was born, and it caught my attention. Maybe you are curious, too, which is probably what brought you here. Columbus Placenta Encapsulation is a rising interest for new mothers, and more businesses offering such services are popping up.
For those who don’t know, placenta encapsulation is when the placenta is dried, ground, and placed into capsules for consumption. Many believe that ingesting the dried placenta provides health benefits for the mother. Some new mothers consume the placenta for increased iron levels, reduced postpartum bleeding, or better mood and energy.
However, risks include infection from poor cleaning or processing and the transfer of harmful substances (like heavy metals or drugs) to the mother. Placenta encapsulation does not have standard regulations in the United States, but hospitals in Columbus may have their own policies.
Until the process is regulated , good research is needed when selecting the right location for your Columbus Placenta Encapsulation. Check out these 10 highly rated Columbus-area locations for your placenta encapsulation.
