So often on the internet these days we read how important pH balance is, and that is why Young Living has AlkaLime. It comes in two different preparations: the single serving packets called the stick packs and a bottle from which you can measure out servings. The stick packs are quick,convenient on-the-go options that you can just toss in your travel bag and take healthy alkalinity with you anywhere you go. Want a longer-term, more inexpensive solution, go for just the original alkaline which comes in a bottle that you can just measure out a serving size and add into your water every morning or every night. 

Let’s talk about the primary ingredients inside AlkaLime. The biggest thing that we have is something called biochemical cell salts, a group of minerals that are critical for the entire function of the body.  In the body, cell salts are required to help our cells repair, to help our nerves function, to be sure that our muscle tissues are functioning correctly, and they help to balance out all of the communication between all of these cells. The key ingredient inside AlkaLime are the biochemical mineral cell salts.  These are our positively charged species – calcium, potassium, and sodium.  Then we have our negatively charged species, our anions – bicarbonates, phosphates, and sulfates.  These bring balance to the pH in the body.  

In addition to high-alkaline salts, AlkaLime contains yeast and fungus fighting elements, such as citric acid and essential oils.  AlkaLime is formulated with both Lemon and Lime essential oils, as well as lemon powder.  This gives the flavor of the drink an effervescent, lemony citrus flavor. This helps to absorb all of those minerals in a quick and effective manner.  By boosting blood alkalinity, yeast and fungus are deprived of the acidic terrain they require to flourish.  When the blood and tissues of the body are already alkaline balanced, the effectiveness of the essential oils and other nutrients is even greater.  AlkaLime may help reduce the following signs of acid-based yeast and fungus dominance: 

• Fatigue/low energy

• Unexplained aches and pains

• Overweight conditions

• Low resistance to illness 

• Allergies

• Headaches

• Irritability/mood swings

• Indigestion

• Colitis/ulcers

• Diarrhea/constipation

• Urinary tract infections

• Rectal/vaginal itch

• Candida 

Psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, dry skin, allergies, and similar problems indicate an excessive acidic pH in the body.  The more acid that is in the blood and skin, the less therapeutic effect essential oils will have.  People who have a negative reaction to essential oils are usually highly acidic.  An alkaline balance must be maintained in the blood and skin for the essential oils to work the best.  AlkaLime and MultiGreens are both helpful for this balancing.

AlkaLime is labeled for children and adults over the age of 12.  It's good for anyone who perhaps has a lot of sugar or a lot of acid in their diet, or people who just feel like their body may need some help to drive it towards that alkaline state instead of that acidic state.  There is a lot of sodium inside AlkaLime, so use caution if you have any type of disease process that sodium is involved in. For example, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease usually require you to monitor your sodium intake. If you have a condition that is affected by sodium, be sure to discuss it with your physician before you decide to try AlkaLime and be sure that you're counting the amount of sodium inside AlkaLime as a part of your daily routine.  

Take AlkaLime anytime that you start to feel like your stomach is a little bit upset.  The sooner you take AlkaLime, the better that it is going to work for you, because one of the main purposes of AlkaLime is to help to balance the pH in the stomach. AlkaLime is also a great supplement to keep on hand after a holiday or celebration where you've had a little bit more alcohol then you are used to.  Take a sachet before bedtime and when you wake up to help optimize the pH in your body after exposure to alcohol which can be acidic, as well as the sugar mixers that are so common in many alcoholic beverages.
