The Nurturing Root Ohio

Enjoy a healthy pregnancy, amazing birth, and a peaceful postpartum experience with help from The Nurturing Root. We are honored to offer the following services to Northeast Ohio families: PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION SERVICES: Welcoming a new baby is a joyous occasion, but this exciting time of transition can be challenging. You are recovering from birth, caring for a fragile newborn, and finding a new balance while adjusting to changing rhythms. Our placenta encapsulation services can help facilitate a calmer, more peaceful, and restorative postpartum experience. Placenta has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote healing for over 1400 years, but modern mothers are just rediscovering this powerful remedy. During pregnancy, your placenta is responsible for hormone production, and after birth, it retains these vital hormones. It can take your body several weeks to adapt to this sudden shift, and you may be left feeling depleted. Placenta encapsulation reintroduces your own natural hormones, easing the transition from pregnancy to postpartum, providing balance and stability. Anecdotal evidence suggests placenta encapsulation helps: balance hormones, support lactation and enhance milk supply, replenish iron, minerals, and vitamins, mitigate postpartum bleeding, provide natural pain relief, ease 'baby blues', decrease severity of postpartum mood disorders, and boost energy.
