The methods

TCM vs. Freeze-Dried

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Inspired by centuries of Chinese medicine, the placenta is gently steamed with warming herbs such as ginger, lemon, and chili before being dehydrated and encapsulated. The warming preparation is traditionally believed to suit postpartum recovery.

  • Steamed, then dehydrated
  • Optional warming herbs
  • The oldest recorded method

Freeze-Dried (Raw)

The placenta is raw-prepared and freeze-dried without any heat exposure, preserving up to 95% of the natural hormones, enzymes, and nutrients. Some families choose this method for the most concentrated, unaltered form.

  • No heat exposure
  • Preserves up to 95% of nutrients
  • Typically yields more capsules

What is included

In every encapsulation

  • Complimentary placenta print
  • BPA-free glass jar
  • Cooler Drop-Off to your home
  • Mood disorder handout

Add a cord keepsake in natural or gold-plated style to your order for a lasting reminder of your baby’s birth.

Please note: your placenta capsules, tincture, and balm may arrive labeled with SoCal Doulas branding. Tayna Chessman, LM also owns SoCal Doulas, which prepares and packages all placenta encapsulation orders — this is expected and not a mix-up.
