Balance pH

From the Product Information page on the Young Living site: www.youngliving.us


AlkaLime® is a precisely-balanced alkaline mineral and essential oil powder formulated to safely balance the acidity of the digestive system.* This is important because a balanced pH allows the body to maintain vigor and health. This formula helps counteract overconsumption of processed sugars and foods that may turn to sugar in the body, such as pasta, bread, and processed corn products.

Sodium: 573 mg per serving
Calcium: 692 mg per serving
Magnesium: 142 mg per serving
Potassium: 190 mg per serving

38.5 servings per container

Stir 1 teaspoon in 8 ounces of distilled water and drink immediately. Mix only with water. Take one to three times daily, one hour before meals or retiring to bed as an aid in alkalizing.*


Alkalime is a great product to quickly bring the body back into a more alkalinized state. I have used Alkalime when my pH is too low and within a two to three days my pH is back to normal range.

I use pH testing strips first thing in the morning and make note of my progress.

Once I have reached my goal pH level, I add just a pinch to each glass of water I drink throughout the day.

Do you know what the average pH level of the human body is? The average range is between 6.4 and 7.5. Numbers lower than 6.4 indicate acidic body chemistry, higher numbers indicate alkaline.

There are two basic tenets: 1) All disease and toxins are acidic; 2) Bacteria, viruses, and parasites die when exposed to high alkaline environments.

I've read from many sources that candida, fungus, bacteria and viruses all need an acidic environment to thrive. If you want to improve the terrain of you body and build better health, add Alkalime to your daily regime.

Cleansing

Young Living has many cleansing products - from colon to liver to kidney, heavy metals and digestive enzymes.

When cleansing we always start with the colon. Young Living products for this task are:
ICP™ helps keep your colon clean with an advanced mix of fibers that scour out residues.* A healthy digestive system is important for the proper functioning of all other systems because it absorbs nutrients that are used throughout the body. ICP provides ingredients such as psyllium, oat bran, and flax and fennel seeds to form a combination of soluble and insoluble fibers. Enhanced with a special blend of essential oils, the fibers work to decrease the buildup of wastes, improve nutrient absorption, and help maintain a healthy heart.* ICP provides three grams of soluble fiber and one gram of insoluble fiber per serving.
ComforTone® (capsules) is an effective combination of herbs and essential oils that support the health of the digestive system by eliminating residues from the colon and enhancing its natural ability to function optimally.* Because it supports normal peristalsis (the wave-like contractions that move food through the intestines), ComforTone is ideal for strengthening the system that delivers nutrients to the rest of the body.* It also contains ingredients that are beneficial to liver, gall bladder, and stomach health.*
Essentialzyme™ is an advanced multi-enzyme complex that promotes digestion and assists in the assimilation of nutrients.* Essentialzyme contains enzymes that support healthy pancreatic function.* Pancreatin 4X: 300 mg per serving

These three products are the backbone or start of any Cleansing Program.

Why Cleanse? With toxins in our air, water and all the additives to our food, our body has a busy job filtering the bad stuff out. The cleansing products assist the body by removing chemicals, parasites and undigested or partially digested foods. This allows the body to function at a healthier, higher level of functioning.
