Do you hold tension in your tummy? Let’s do a check right now.
Focus on your stomach and take note: are your muscles feeling clenched and tight? Take a big deep breath and feel like you’re drawing it deep down into your stomach. Does that help you to release those tensions and feel more relaxed there?
If you’re anything like me, you hold a lot of stress in this region without even realising it. Heck, we hold stress in all kinds of places without even realising it. The shoulders are another very common area, so if you’re feeling sore in the shoulders and put it down to poor posture or sitting at a computer, indeed it could be those things OR it could be that you store your stress in those areas. That’s a post for another day but think laterally when choosing oils: you could experiment with massaging emotionally-supportive relaxing essential oils into your shoulders and see what that does.
Back to our tummy tension right now, though. An upset stomach can be caused by stress and anxiety. It can also be caused by poor diet, lack of pre-biotics/pro-biotics to help your gut flora or any number of things. And if you suffer from indigestion, an upset tummy or heartburn, then finding a natural antacid is a huge relief versus the typical ones you’ll find out there in the marketplace.
Young Living AlkaLime™ is my favourite when I need my stomach sorted: it’s fresh, it’s fizzy and it tastes so good, I have to stop myself having more than the suggested one to three times daily.
One level teaspoon of AlkaLime™ powder stirred gently into purified water and allowed to rise up in the glass with its fizzy vitality is all it takes to work quickly to soothe a tummy upset and relieve the discomfort of heartburn. It’s absorbed easily and quickly by the body and like I said, it tastes delicious!

When used regularly, AlkaLime™ also safely helps to balance your body’s pH level and helps regulate the acid in your digestive system.
It’s wonderful to take it daily for that reason, because supporting a good acid-alkaline balance is essential for general well-being. Too much acid is a trigger for inflammation and a vast number of malaises are due to some kind of inflammation in the body. The beautiful genuinely-pure Young Living essential oils of Lemon and Lime plus organic lemon powder and nine biochemical mineral cell salts in this formulation help counteract processed and acid-forming foods.
Now, that’s not giving you license to down a bottle of wine and dip a hotdog in ice-cream, thinking that AlkaLime™ will fix it all for you! But if you’ve had the occasionally fall off the good-nutrition bandwagon, AlkaLime™ will help you compensate for it.
Lemon and Lime are citrus oils, which are awesome for uplifting your spirits, so the inclusion of these oils will help you feel chirpier from a feelings point of view, along with feeling chirpier thanks to being more comfortable in your tum-tum. And you’ll be topping up your antioxidant levels to fight and protect against free radical damage while you’re at it. Bonus points!
When you’re taking AlkaLime™, it’s recommended that you have it an hour before meals and an hour before going to bed. Now, the following info is just anecdotal, not on the official written blurb on the bottle, but I find when I have AlkaLime™ before going to bed, I tend to sleep soundly through the night. Maybe it’s all in my mind, but there’s no harm in you giving it a try and seeing how it works for you, too.
There are some cautions for taking AlkaLime™ due to its sodium and potassium levels, so when you go to order it, please do check the details on the product description on the Young Living site just in case any of those apply to you.
As a long-term and regular user of AlkaLime™, I’ll also give you a valuable heads-up from learning the hard way: be sure the spoon you use is completely dry before putting it in the powder, because the ingredients in AlkaLime™ are susceptible to moisture and it will harden in the jar if you don’t take care in this area. Also, pop that lid back on again tightly as soon as you’ve put your spoon of powder into your glass. Simple! Oh, and it fizzes up a lot, so use a glass that’s quite a bit larger than the amount of water you’re putting into it.
