What Moms Say about Our Placenta Pills

We made the decision to encapsulate because of the difficulty I experienced after my first child with hormonal imbalance. I always felt hot, moody, and depleted of any energy (granted I was a new mother of a needy newborn!).

I’m truly thankful that we went ahead with the encapsulation! The process to set up the encapsulation through Sherilee was easy, and in hindsight, really affordable. When my daughter was about three months old I started experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression. At the time I was not taking my pills, but began seeking out natural ways to ward off the depression (i.e. diet, exercise, etc), and began a regular routine of taking 1-2 pills in the morning and at night. I noticed a difference right away. I could get through a day mothering two small children and actually enjoy myself! I also noticed that I had more energy and fewer hot flashes.

I really appreciated Sherliee’s timeliness in getting our placenta encapsulated. She was at our house the day we came home from the hospital with the pills, instructions, and encouragement. In addition to the pills, we had a tincture made for later use (i.e. helping ease menopause symptoms, PMS, increasing milk supply, etc). The tincture came in handy by assisting in easing the postpartum depression until I felt like I didn’t need it anymore.

Each pregnancy is different and each recovery is unique. I am so glad we decided to encapsulate my placenta; I feel as though it helped me avoid medication for treating my postpartum depression and any other costly appointments I would have needed to manage my depression through my healthcare provider.
