Blackstrap molasses is not just for baking any more. This humble liquid (albeit a sticky one), the product of the third boiling in the process of making sugar from beets or sugarcane, actually has healthy benefits. One of the most exciting benefits from it is the gray hair cure with molasses.
A Teaspoon of Molasses...
The first and most basic gray hair cure is taking molasses straight first thing in the morning. All you do is pour a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses into a measuring spoon and swallow it.
An Iced Molasses Recipe
Add one tablespoon to enough hot water to dissolve the molasses. Put some ice in the glass then add 3/4 of a cup of milk, rice drink or soy milk.
A Plainer Recipe
Add a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses to a cup of water and heat it in the microwave until it is warm enough for the molasses to dissolve. Stir the water with a spoon to ensure the molasses is completely dissolved and drink it.
Effectiveness
Earth Clinic lists a long range of cures their readers have shared thanks to their use of blackstrap molasses. One of the ailments that have received the most positive feedback is graying hair. Other sites repeat this claim, though no medical studies have been completed to back up this claim. Medical studies have been done to prove molasses' effectiveness to lower blood pressure as well as helping to cure depression.
