Question of the day; Does Kombucha really work? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people have kept drinking it and preparing it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It forms on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Bursitis, Energy: "My BURSITIS in my shoulder was so bad I was considering getting the shot for it. I did not have health insurance and this was an expensive (and painful) option. So I ordered the Kombucha cultures and began making my own tea. The first week that I drank my new tea I thought the painful symptoms of my bursitis were going away. Now (after 3 months) I am SURE of it! I can't say I am 100% cured... only about 95%. The difference is amazing! In two months when my insurance kicks in, I will NOT be getting a shot! The other interesting thing is that I take a glass of Kombucha to work with me to drink during my lunch break, I now have more energy to get thru the rest of the day. Thank you Kombucha America!... G.C."

Kombucha Tea safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some fungi are poisonous or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not poisonous. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for over 2000 years it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage if it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has ever died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for thousands of years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but some few people could be sensitive to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is allowed to ferment too long to a more sour condition. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink very large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking very large amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem can be easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
