I used to have normal pain free periods in my late teens and early twenties, after two babies and now into my thirties, my periods are crazy! Sometimes they're nothing, sometimes they're heavy bleeding for days, I mean 14-30 days! When I was in my early twenties I used to take BSM daily to avoid cramps, I thought it would help because of the iron. Well now I've discovered I need this for heavy bleeding and I believe it's from the potassium! Minerals are so important and symptoms of low potassium include heavy bleeding, fatigue, headaches, cramps, etc. all typical symptoms of a menstrual cycle. So here I am, on day 14 of a heavy period and I started taking BSM yesterday (1tbsp) and once this morning and my bleeding is bare minimum borderline spotting, yesterday I had heavy bleeding and clots the size of pecans. I will report back, but so far this is working!

I have been experiencing light vaginal bleeding every day for two months. Today I decided to add a tablespoon of molasses to my ginseng tea and within the hour I felt that I wasn't bleeding anymore, checked and it was true! I wasn't expecting it and nor did I take add the molasses for this issue. I simply had a "taste" for it for some reason and pulled the jar out of the back shelf of the pantry. I am going to continue adding it to my various herbal tea (I normally do not add sweetner) to see if the issue continues to cease.

Like almost everyone else at first I was a little skeptical on trying this, but my periods have been out of control my whole life. I am 28 now and if I am not on birthcontrols I would probably bleed for 4 months straight. But even with the birthcontrols it only usually makes me stop bleeding for 2 weeks if im lucky, heavy and sever clotting from beginning to end changing a Ultra tampon every hour and close to causing an accident everytime. So I kept doing my research and found out about the blackstrap molasses so it didnt hurt to try especially costing less then 4 bucks here in NY. I started taking it twice sometimes 3 times a day when I had those heavy days that I could barely get out of bed. I also drink raspberry leaf tea 2 times a day with it.
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 was having heavy bleeding w clots soaking thru super plus tampon every hour and a half. I saw post about organic unsulphered black strap molasses went to health food store to get some. Took a tablespoon, it worked right away, the next tampon change was less than half the amount and continued to dwindle. I am going to take a tablespoon before bed as recommended. The only other thing I did was relax, feet propped up and did 15 min ice pack on abdomen once. I will be telling everyone about this remedy for sure!

Every month I was faced with extremely heavy flow. I'd normally bleed for 7 days and was super careful of how I planned the days that I knew I'd flow the heaviest -in order to avoid super embarrassing incidents....
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!!

I just wanted to say how truly amazed I am. I just started to take Blackstrap Molasses (BSM) on Friday, Oct 9th and I'm really impressed with the outcome. I've suffered with heavy bleeding for a few years now due to fibroids. It has caused me to be severely anemic and fatigued. A few months ago it was so bad I needed a blood transfusion. I was heading to work last week and I was searching for remedies for heavy bleeding and found this website Earthclinic. I read every single comment about BSM and said I will definitely give it a try and let's just say I am not disappointed. I thank God for leading me to this website and also thank all the ladies who posted a comment. I wish you all the best and I will repost again shortly. Peace and blessings!

Update: I started taking 1 tsp BSM twice a day in August 2014 with immediate results (I had a period that lasted 20 days; took BSM that night and day 21 bleeding stopped completely). I continued to take it until ten days ago when I decided to try DIM-Plus supplement instead, just to see what would happen. My period started yesterday with awful cramps and lots of clotting, which I hadn't seen since August. I was bleeding very heavily as well. I took a tablespoon of BSM, and this morning, I am not bleeding at all! I am sure I will before it's over, but I am convinced that the BSM helps to control the amount of bleeding and the clotting. I read that the DIM-Plus takes a while to be effective. I am going to experiment with continuing to take it daily, and just taking BSM on the days I actually have my period.

Hi, After having heavy periods with clots, for quite sometime, also recently having bloated stomach. I decided to search online for remedies to reduce my bloating, molasses was one of the remedies, fortunately I remember I have a bottle at home for quite sometime. However I decided to use a teaspoon, each morning until my peroid came. What I realise with this period I have no cramps, my flow reduced. And less clotting, am feeling so happy that I don't have to be bothered by the heavy flow. I can see and feel the big difference.

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!

I'm replying to my post for the remedy of heavy periods with clots and would like to say that BSM just works wonders for you if you're in my situation. I' 40 yrs. old and have 2 small fibroids.. Which could not have caused me the bleeding that I had this time (full of clots) but no matter I tried the BSM and it helped immediately plus gives me the energy that I wasn't getting from iron supplements. I would highly recommend the product. Thanks to earth clinic for saving me to suffer!! Highly recommended.

Hi - I love this site! Once again, you guys rock!
I decided to give Blackstrap Molasses a try after reading all the posts and researching BSM a bit.
My periods have changed over the last couple of years. I feel like they are heavier and cramping is more noticeable. However, they are still fairly regular. I'm 37 now.
Two days into my period and right before bed, I mixed one heaping spoonful of BSM with about a quarter cup of water. I downed it but I didn't care for the taste. I tend to try out these remedies right before bed because I like to think that I am letting my body heal itself while I sleep.
Anyway, I woke up and I could tell the cramping was less severe and my energy level was up. I also noticed the flow was less heavy.
I had a second glass when I woke up, but this time I mixed a heaping spoonful with some soy milk. This was very yummy! All my cramping is gone, my energy level is up and the flow has lessened significantly.
l'm not sure if I'll continue this as a daily regimen (I do have concerns about mineral and Calcium build-up), but I will definitely add this to my arsenal of health remedies.
Thanks again, to everyone!

Hello I am AKM from Atlanta, Ga. I have been bleeding like crazy during my cycle for like 5 year. I tried the molasses this go round and was shocked to find a normal period though it lasted 7 day on the nose. My question is does anyone know why this stuff works? I am asking because I feel little strange. I have some cramps here and Im a little tired. I do suffer from anemia also. But I want to know what happened to all the blood and clots, are they still in there or did the molasses cause it to be reabsorbed or what. Because I started it just a few days before so im sure all that store of stuff was built up and ready to go. So where did it go?
