I love to prepare placentas into medicine! I prefer to begin the process within the first 48 hours after birth. I can either process your placenta raw or steamed. Either way it takes 24-48 hours to complete the process. I am happy to pick up your placenta from your place of birth and deliver your placenta to your home. I usually steam the placenta with ginger and lemon, then dehydrate and encapsulate.
I recommend doing your own research to see if this is a good option for you.
Here are a couple websites to begin:
