If you have a lot of female bleeding, it usually points to a lack of D vitamin, so one would need to take maybe one cod liver a day. It works.

To my surprise by the 2nd day on it my period started getting a little lighter by the 4th day it was gone. This has been the only remedy that has been able to stop these ever lasting periods and I live by this now every menstrual cycle. I currently started my period 2 days ago so started taking both again today. lets see how long its going to take to stop because my birthcontrols have not given me a period in 3 months so this is going to be a bad cycle this time.

I also have fibroids, but so far the BSM isn't helping me. At first I took the regular molasses, I had picked up the wrong bottle, and the regular molasses seem to lessen the bleeding a lot more, even went almost 2 days without bleeding, once I learned I was taking the wrong molasses, I purchased the BSM, but it isn't helping as well as the regular molasses. Anyone know why that would be both were unsulfered? Are you still taking it, and not bleeding?

I read about blackstrap molasses on this site and decided to give it a shot. I figured even if it didn't help reduce my flow- it'd help keep my iron levels up as I've battled anemia for decades..
Well, I started about a week before my period was due-with a tablespoon twice a day mixed into hot coffee or tea in the morning and at night. And once my flow began I noticed it was considerably lighter in volume. I was quite happy with that! But lo and behold- it stopped completely after just FOUR DAYS!!
I'm sooo happy to have found this remedy!!! I tell everyone that'll listen -try blackstrap molasses for monstrous menstrual flow!!

Sookiec, BSM won't hurt so you can probably do a Tablespoon a day safely.
You can also read up on cayenne and on sage tea for slowing/stopping the flow.

Did the BSM help you? I've been on the BSM pills for almost 2 weeks didn't do anything for me, now I got some in the jar to try, started it yesterday with ACV & baking soda. For four years I have been dealing with this never ending period. I will try things that will work for a little while, then stop. I went for an ultrasound, the Abdominal showed 7mm uterine lining, and the vaginal showed 12mm. They didn't know where I was in my cycle to say if it was normal or not. It showed I had 2 small fibroids & 2 small cysts. My Dr. didn't seem worried, come back in a few months to recheck. I use to have clockwork periods every 28 days until I hit 48. I miss those days.

I also started this remedy because I tend to spot in between periods and right before and right after. And of course my periods are also pretty heavy and painful and more so as I get older. I am 41 year old female, no children.
I know some women have mentioned adding the baking soda? Any help would be greatly appreciated. It seems so many women start taking BSM and see an instant change. I would love to hear if anyone had luck with it, but more over a gradual time?
Thanks!

Dear Lmwb,
I am so sorry you are having this trouble.
Yes, it could take some time for what you are doing to help.
You can also take Shepherd's Purse for the acute bleeding. Or Cayenne Pepper. Or Liquid Chlorophyll. (I used to take about a Tablespoon an hour for heavy bleeding and it really helped.)
Some other things that may help would be less animal products in the diet and more vegetables and fruits.
There is also a tincture that you could make or buy with several herbs that are very helpful for regulating the female system.

I made some of this a few months ago and have been taking it and am finding it helpful. I am 47 and have never had cycles this regular in my whole life.
Everyone is different. It can be a lot of trial and error until you find what helps you best. I hope you find what helps you best soon.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my story. I had extremely heavy bleeding, terrible cramps, cold sweating, constant vomiting issues and really bad back pain due to my menstruation cycle. I used to miss work because I couldn't move due to the severe pain. I tried every tablet I knew of for menstrual cramps and pain. Been to the doctor several times and was put on iron tablets. I nearly died because of bad reaction to the different drugs. I was about to give up when I bounced up on this site. I decided to use the blackstrap molasses and the coconut oil recipes. I drank 1/2 tbsp blackstrap molasses in a glass of lemongrass tea once in the morn and once at night. During the day I took 2 tbsp pure coconut oil. I began 2 days before my menstrual cycle begun. When my menses came, I was so shocked, the pain was less, there was no heavy flow, I did not have to take any tablets and there was no vomiting. I was moving about freely! For all the women out there who are experiencing what I went through and worsen don't give up. Different things work in different ways for the human body. Try them cause you never know what ease you will get!

Hi, With Bsm it needs to be the non sulpher organic type and most of have to take atleast 1 large tablespoon atleast 3 times a day- drink lots of water too. Another remedy which could be easier for some people is a small glass of water with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in it at least 3 times a day (drink through a straw). Honestly these work and it is amazing- I think if you are not seeing results then take more- both of these work for me- I prefer the ACV at the moment and sometimes as baking soda but it works without- good luck

I'm so upset and I give up, BSM has helped so many people nearly everyone on this site says it helped them but it didn't help me. Thank you for all your advice and help but I've decided to stop taking the BSM and if I can find ACV with mother then I will start on that, does anyone know where I can find some ACV with mother in Melbourne?

I tried Blackstrap molasses and it made me feel a lot calmer however it did not help with the bleeding. I live in Australia and the only one I found was Blue Label unsulphured blackstrap molasses. I used it on the first day of my period and it has been 5 days and I haven't noticed a difference at all except for me feeling a lot calmer.
I was so excited to try it but now I feel horrible, what if it doesn't work for me, what do I do then? I'm going to keep trying it maybe my body needs more time to adjust to it. I take it with one teaspoon in my green tea or coffee. Does anyone know why it's not working for me and if there are other brands to try that are in Australia?
I will let you know how I go next month. Thank you for your time.

Nicole from Melbourne, Victoria Australia, HELLO! Sorry to hear about your issue. I have suffered tremendously with the same issue and below are few things that shifted this in me...
1. Standard Process Ovex-P (available on Amazon).
2. Fermented Cod Liver Oil several tablespoons upto 4 per day especially at beginning of period. Rest of the month you can do 1-2 tablespoons per day. Get the best quality because it makes a huge difference.
3. Eat raw foods during your period which will cut down the quantity of blood loss as well as reduce number of days. When I eat raw my period last 5 days about medium blood flow. On cooked foods, I will bleed upto 15 days with very heavy flow.
4. Additionally I use dandelion tea through the month 1 cup daily to keep liver clean.
5. Foods with probiotics like homemade kefir, kombucha, and sauerkraut (all with live bacteria) have helped tremendously. Please google how to make these cheaply at home.
6. ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) Raw with mother - 2 tablespoons in 1. 2 cup lukewarm water with raw honey 2-3 times during period (and you can continue rest of the month too) great in balancing PH levels of body and will reduce blood flow tremendously.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Good luck, Tina

Hi Nicole, if you are like me and have heavy mensturation then it is very important that you get your blood checked every couple of months for iron levels. We can deplete our stores very quickly and low iron can lead to continuous bleeding. Coffee, tea, wine, chocolate can all affect iron absorption too whereas vitamin c helps it. I am on iron tablets again but I can testify that unsulphered black strap molasses really works- I take a teaspoon of Bsm followed by a small glass of water then repeat this in the morning then again in the evening, I am sure you could take more, it really does slow down the bleeding. Bsm also contains iron but if you are very low as identified via a blood test take iron and b 50 with vit c as well. Other signs of iron deficiency are cracks in mouth and lips that dont heal and pica cravings headaches feeling exhausted, heart palpitations sometimes pale skin and pale eye lids. Good luck

Try doing it twice daily with Apple Cider Vinegar and water, honey also if you wish (use organic brand ideally for Apple Cider Vinegar as it has the mother.)
I tried it after my horrendously heavy painful period so for 3 weeks then had another and I didn't have to use any tranexamic acid or strong painkillers like usual, went from ten day bleed to a 5 and no leaking through to the mattress either whilst wearing a tamp so it's definitely helped me. Might just take more time. You need to do it religiously every day for a while to benefit and then if it works for you stick at it long term for life.

Don't drink coffee or anything with caffeine. Take the molasses in warm water instead.

Coffee and green tea both cause heavier menstrual flow. Try taking Blackstrap Molasses in orange juice (your body absorbs more iron when you also take vit c). Also try taking it after eating.
