Tinctures are not just for when you have a cold or the flu.  They can help you in your every day life, even when you are not sick. Three of my favorite wellness tinctures are Digest-Ease, Tooth and Gum and Kidney Klean.  Here are a few of the benefits that using them will give you:
 
Have you ever eaten a meal and the food tasted so good that you ate a little more than your stomach could comfortably hold?  Then you feel very full and wish that you had saved half of your food for later!!  What can you do to feel better right away?  You take one or more dropperfuls of Digest-Ease tincture in a little water or juice.  It helps your digestion and makes everything go back to normal, fast.  You can also take Digest-Ease whenever you feel queasy due to motion sickness.  It’s amazing how much it helps.  Half a dropperful in a mouthful of water gives you a fresh taste in your mouth and quiets your stomach down.
 
Tooth and Gum tincture helps give your mouth that squeaky clean feeling when you haven’t been flossing your teeth as often as you know you should.  You put a dropperful of the formula right on your gums and massage it in vigorously with your finger so that it gets into all the spaces where bacteria can hide.  You can also put a dropperful of the tincture in your water-pik.  Regular use of Tooth and Gum will help your next dental checkup be more enjoyable by making your gums less likely to be tender.
 
And last but not least, Kidney Klean is a great tincture for preventive maintenance.  The herbs in this formula are specifically chosen to help your kidneys, bladder and urinary system and you may have used this formula once in a while to do a cleanse.  However, you may want to consider taking it more often.  Your entire pelvic region can benefit from taking this tincture on a regular basis.  It helps strengthen the muscles you use to do your Kegel exercises and keeps your urinary elimination system in top shape.  Just drink down a couple of dropperfuls in some water or juice once or twice a day.

I have always loved limes. They add a zesty kick to fresh fish, salsa’s and even water. It wasn’t until my roommate began commenting on how I consistently drink lime water that I began to really think about why my body craves and absorbs lime so well.

Lime has been found to aid with digestion, skin health, and weight loss.  Personally limes for me are a great way to allow my body to relax after dinner and help with digestion. I also add a little bit of salt so that it not only gives me the benefits of lime but the salt (celtic salt) helps me absorb water faster and reap the benefits of being hydrated. Here is a closer look at some of the benefits of limes.

Digestion: Just the smell of limes induces the first step of digestion which begins with salivating. The acids that limes contain help with the breakdown of food. The natural oils found in limes encourage digestion and increase digestive juices.

Skin Care: The oil in limes is also beneficial to your skin. Lime oil can revive your skin by protecting it from infections, adding shine and reducing body odor.  Just be sure to dilute the essential oil in a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba – plain lime oil on the skin can burn!

Weight Loss: A glass of water with lime juice is an excellent fat burner as well as a brilliant refresher and antioxidant drink.
