The Traditional Chinese Method of encapsulation involves steaming the placenta with green chillies, lemon and ginger which are believed to provide heat and energy to the mother that promote circulation, balance and the absorption of nutrients.  Following the process of steaming the placenta is then dehydrated, ground and made into capsules.  Depending on the placenta’s size it may produce between 80-200 capsules.  It is recommended that you take 1-2 capsules up to 3 times a day with water for 4-6 weeks or as needed, due to the increase in energy provided by the capsule it is not recommend to take the capsules after 6pm.  Additional iron supplements should be avoided and these capsules should not be taken when you have an infection in the body such as mastitis or a cold, flu or fever.  You can order a tincture to take at these times which will last indefinitely and perfectly compliments the capsules.
