AlkaLime® is a specially designed alkaline mineral powder supplement that contains an array of high-alkaline salts and other yeast and fungus fighting elements, such as citric acid and essential oils. Its precisely balanced, acid-neutralizing mineral formulation helps preserve the body’s proper pH balance–the cornerstone of health. By boosting blood alkalinity, yeast and fungus are deprived of the acidic terrain they require to flourish. The effectiveness of other essential oils is enhanced when the body’s blood and tissues are alkaline.
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

How to Restore Alkalinity
An alkaline environment is hostile to fungi, which require acidity to survive and thrive. Lowered yeast and fungus popula tions translate into lower levels of body-damaging, disease-inducing mycotoxins. Some of the most common varieties of pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and fungi that live in the intes tines are inactive. However, when the body is weakened by illness, stress, and excess acidity caused by stress, these bacteria become harmful and active, changing into an invasive mycelic form.
Tips for a natural healthy lifestyle:
- Carefully monitor your diet. Avoiding yeastand fungus-promoting foods is a crucial factor in combating excess acidity and fungus overgrowth. Meats, sugars, dairy products, pickled and malted products can be especially acidic. On the other hand, garlic is excellent for controlling fungi and yeast. Other high-alkaline, fungusinhibiting foods include green and yellow vegetables, beans, and whole uncracked nuts. The natural ratio between alkaline and acid foods in the diet should be 4:1–four parts alkaline foods to one part acid. JuvaPower and JuvaSpice are mixtures of extremely alkaline and high-antioxidant foods that nourish the liver and combat toxic acidity. The pH of a raw food does not always determine its acidity or alkalinity in the digestive system. Some foods, like lemons, might be acidic in their natural state but when consumed and digested are converted into alkaline residues. Thus, the true determinant of a food’s pH is whether it is an alkaline-ash or acid-ash food. In this case, lemons are an alkaline-ash food.
- Avoid the use of antibiotics when possible. The overuse of antibiotics for incidental, minor, or cosmetic conditions not only increases the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms, but it kills the beneficial bacteria in your body, leaving the mycotoxin-generating yeast and fungi intact. This is why many women suffer outbreaks of yeast infections after antibiotic use.
- Use YL Therapeutic-grade essential oils. Many essential oils possess important antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal properties. Clove and Thyme essential oils have been documented to kill over 15 different strains of fungi. Essential oils work best when blood and tissues are alkaline. When our systems become acidic–due to poor diet, illness, or emotional stress–essential oils lose some of their effects. So the best way to enhance the action of essential oils is to alkalize your body.
- Use alkaline minerals. Increasing intake of calcium can dramatically boost blood and intestinal alkalinity. Calcium and magnesium rich supplements, such as SuperCal and MegaCal, can help alkalinize both blood and body tissues. AlkaLime® is an out stand ing source of alkaline salts that can help reduce internal acidity. JuvaPower and JuvaSpice are also rich in minerals and yeast-fighting phytonutrients.
- Lower stress. Emotional and psychological tension can be especially damaging to bodily systems and act as a prime promoter of acid formation in the body. To properly appreciate how acidic stress can be, just think back to the last time you were seriously stressed-out and had to reach for an antacid tablet to soothe your heartburn or stomach discomfort. Blends of essential oils high in sesquiterpenes, such as frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood, can produce profound balancing and calming effects on emotions, when diffused or applied topically. They work by affecting the limbic system of our brain, the seat of our emotions. Additionally iffusing Oranage and lavender essential oils have been shown to ease anxiety, see the study here. More on managing stress.
- Boost friendly flora. From three to four pounds of beneficial bacteria permanently reside in the intestines of the average adult. Not only are they the first line of defense against foreign invaders, but they are absolutely essential for health, energy, and optimum digestive efficiency. These intestinal houseguests not only control mucus and debris, but they produce B vitamins, vitamin K, and maintain the all-important pH balance of the body. These friendly flora are also important in counteracting and opposing yeast and fungus over growth. When our natural cultures are compromised or disrupted by taking antibiotics or by poor dietary practices, yeast and fungus start growing unopposed and begin colonizing and invading larger swaths of our internal terrain, secreting ever-increasing volumes of poisonous mycotoxins. Using an acidophilus and bifidus, such as Life 5 supplement, may be especially valuable in boosting levels of naturally occurring beneficial bacteria in the body and preventing fungal and yeast overgrowth. Life 5 is also helpful in assisting the body to maintain proper pH balance for nutrient digestion and absorption. Ideally, the lactobacillus acidiphilus and bifidobacterium bifidus cultures must be combined with plantain to promote implantation on the intestinal wall.
Research indicates a significant proportion of bacteria from many acidophilus supplements do not reach the lower intestine alive, or they arrive in such a weakened state that they are not of much benefit. This is why combining the acidophilus and bifidus cultures with plantain is so important because plantain helps these cultures adhere to the intestinal walls.
An even more effective means of fortifying the friendly flora in our intestines is by consumption of fructooligosaccharides (also known as FOS). FOS is one of the most powerful natural agents for feeding our friendly flora. FOS is made up of medium-chain sugars that cannot be used by pathogenic yeast and fungi. The end result is that FOS starves fungi while feeding the acidophilus and bifidus cul tures that are our main defense against disease.
But FOS is far more than just an outstanding means of rebuilding and protecting the beneficial bacteria inside the body. Over a dozen clinical studies have documented the ability of fructooligosaccharides to prevent constipation, lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and even prevent cancer. (Hidaka et al., 1991; Briet et al., 1995); Bouhnik et al., 1996; Kawaguchi et al., 1993; Luo et al., 1996); Rochat et al., 1994; Tokunaga et al., 1993).

AlkaLime® Between Meals
This precisely-balanced alkaline mineral and essential oil powder is formulated to safely reduce the acidity of the digestive system. It also helps preserve the body’s proper pH balance-the cornerstone of health. Take in water one hour before meals or at bedtime. Not for salt-restricted diets.
Heartburn & Acid Reflux 
Heartburn is a burning pain felt behind the breastbone. It is most often the result of acid reflux, that is, when stomach acid rises up the esophagus where it irritates the lining. Lemon essential oil (which comes from the rind, not the pulp) is one of the best remedies for heartburn, as it causes the stomach to stop excreting digestive acids. Simply add a drop or two of lemon to a small glass of water and drink.
Did you know that Lemon essential oil has many traditional uses?
Lemon has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. According Jean Valnet, M.D., the vaporized essence of lemon can kill meningococcus bacteria in 15 minutes, typhoid bacilli in one hour, Staphylococcus aureus in two hours, and Pneumococcus bacteria within three hours. Even a 0.2% solution of lemon oil can kill diphtheria bacteria in 20 minutes and inactivate tuberculosis bacteria.
Lemon oil has been widely used in skin care to cleanse skin and reduce wrinkles. It promotes clarity of thought and purpose, as well as health, healing, physical energy, and purification. Its fragrance is invigorating, enhancing, and warming.
Lemon has been shown to have antidepressant effects in research done by Komori, et al.,1995. It may also help brighten a pale, dull complexion by removing the dead skin cells. It serves as an effective insect repellent and works well in removing gum, wood stain, oil, and grease spots.

Article contributed by Shayla. Some out there may be wondering to themselves “Why on earth make your own wipes?” There are a couple good reasons for this, though! Baby wipes, for instance, often contain chemicals that are known to be dangerous. It is so important to realize that the skin is the body’s largest organ, and what you put on yours and your child’s skin is absorbed into the body. The Safe Mama website (a great site for parents, dedicated to finding non-toxic, child-safe products for parents) provides a wonderfully educational 
that will have the family talking about your gourmet skills for years to come, ditch the dry spices and use essential spice oils instead! Just be sure to use only therapeutic grade as they are the only kind safe for internal or food use. There are therapeutic grade oils including Mountain Savory, Thyme, Oregano, Sage, Nutmeg, and more available from Young Living. I can testify, they make all the difference in the world when it comes to a superior dish.
