I have been taking Black Strap Molasses now for three weeks. 2 tbsp a day In that short time frame, I have noticed an increase in energy, my monthly cycle wasn't the horrid painful nightmare it usually is, it was pain free, clot free, and psychosis free for the first time in my life. And the nasty dark circles under my eyes have all but vanished! And they were bad, I looked like I had two black eyes. I tried everything you can think of to get rid of those dark circles and NOTHING worked before now. I look five years younger! I'm amazed at the results I've seen so far and I've been telling everyone I know about this site.

I SWEAR by this. Taking 2 or more tbsp. (I recommend 3-4 actually) of blackstrap molasses at a time and swallowing it down with water. Within 25 minutes your period cramps will be gone. Also repeat this every few hours at least the first 2 days then you can lessen it if you wish because you will also within half a day, notice a huge reduction in your flow. I know that much molasses at once is so rich (and gross!) to me but it works so well I've stuck to it for years. I used to sweat from the pain of my cramps ...I never get them anymore. The bottom line is my flow is cut in half and the days are also cut in half. Someone, please try it at least once and put your answer on here. It just works so great. Maybe you can mix the molasses in water or something to make it easier?? Good Luck!

Is your molasses the sulfured kind? That has been known to increase bleeding and cramps. Get the unsulfured, organic kind!

By chance did the Blackstrap Molasses start cleaning out your system... Hence the extended period? Maybe if you continued another couple of months it might get better? Kinda guessing here

After having irregular periods for 3 months, and no diagnoses for it other than hormonal imbalance, I decided to look into what I could do to take my own health into my hands. I found information regarding BSM and decided I would give it a try. After 2 weeks, my constant spotting stopped. I began to feel energetic and started walking every day again. My mood has lifted. And everyone I know has asked me what skin cream I'm using, because my skin is visibly glowing! I'm also sleeping better. And I cannot deny that my sugar cravings have lessoned. Before I began my 3 tablespoon a day regimen of black strap molasses, I know my body was depleted of vitamins and minerals. I will be continuing with BSM in hopes that my health will improve along with other measures I intend to take!

I started taking the blackstrap molasses to slow down the white hair growth. I think that has helped to some degree. But, what I have really noticed is my menstrals....much more pleasant. Less painful and not so heavy. What a pleasant surprise. Usually my breasts hurt too...but not this time. I think I will be taking this forever. Now, if my little white hairs go away...well, this would be perfect!!

Black Strap Molasses stopped my heavy and over-long periods. After only one month of using it. My doctor was suggesting a hysterectomy because I have fibroids and sometimes I was bleeding for an entire month. I have had several surgeries in the past and I don't want to ever be cut on again. I found your site using google. I didn't really think the black strap molasses would work, but I was ready to try almost anything to avoid a surgery. Someone else on this site suggested taking ibuprofen with the molasses. I started taking both daily. I have since stopped taking the ibuprofen but continued taking the molasses daily in the morning and at night before bed. After months of my periods lasting for weeks at a time I had a period end after only six days. I take it by tablespoon. I don't like the taste but I want to get it over with quickly. I see the doctor again in October for a check on my fibroids. The black strap molasses has not changed my gray hair, but I am so very pleased about the change in my period.

Anyone with menstral issues, anemia,and lots of other symptoms, please read up on PCOS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. 1 in 10 women have it, but it's not spoken about. I should have been diagnosed at age 13 when I had surgery on my ovaries, but figured it out myself at age 50. Trouble conceiving, anxiety, the list is endless, read up on it, and talk to others and your medical provider. You'll feel like a whole new person if it is you in the description. Now I've had ACV for the last 4 wks or so, and I am amazed at all the delightful things it is doing for me. I'll write on that in another post. Let me know if you think you do, there's lots of support out there. All looking for natural aids as well. Good luck!

I was reading your notes regarding Black strap molasses, I used it for the past 2 months, I noticed that my period is less (5 days) compare to the 10 days, lighter and no pain at all. I will let you know if it shrinks my Uturus Fibroyd.The best way for me to eat it is with a glass of milk, or mix it with plain yougurt.

I Love Earthclinic.com. It's my go-to website for everything health related. I know if there's a solution out there, I'll find it here.
I was looking for a solution to my miserable menstrual cramps. I have been taking Advil for as long as I can remember because the pain has always been so bad.
I have tied other natural supplements and nothing worked. I saw the info on here about BSM and had to try it right away. I took a TBS the first day and my cramps were gone for almost a full 10 hours. I took it before bed and slept perfectly through the night. The next day I took 1 TBS in the morning (I drink mine hot with unsweetened vanilla almond milk) and by lunch I still had some dull aches so I took 1 more TBS and that did the trick no more cramps for the rest of the day. AMAZING!!!
I felt great during my cycle and had plenty of energy. It also relieved my constipation.
My cycle ended yesterday and today I took one teaspoon of BSM and I had lots of energy on the treadmill and no constipation.
Thank you for the wonderful remedy. I was soooooo skeptical but it really works.

Dear everybody, Thank you for your inspiring info about molasses. I have had fibroids for the last 3 years and all my life suffered from horrible period cramps. I was encouraged to drink 1 tsp of molasses daily with a cup of hot water day and night for the last 1 month and much to my amazement for the first time in my life i experienced no cramps whatsoever.Im confident my fibroids will be a thing of the past soon...Keep up the good work guys. Ill keep you posted. Carol
