RAW METHOD
TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM)
The raw method involves preparing the placenta by ensuring it is cleaned thoroughly, sliced very thin,
and then placed in the dehydrator.
The placenta will be dehydrated at
160 degrees for the first 2-4 hours
and then 120 degrees until it is done.
​
The belief behind the raw method
of preparation is that,
by choosing not to steam the placenta,
essential nutrients and hormones are not damaged with high heat.
​
BENEFITS
Can have higher dose of the nutrients and hormones
High yield of capsules- they may last longer.
Potentially gives the mother more energy due to high nutrient content.
CONS

The TCM method or also known
as the steamed method involves
the placenta first throughly being cleaned
and then steamed at a low temperature
alone or with ginger, lemon, and hot peppers.
After steaming for a short period the placenta
is thinly sliced and then dehydrated at
160 degrees for the first 4 hours
and 125 degrees until done.
