Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It grows on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - Energy, Skin Health, Arthritic & Joint Pains: "The results I have gotten from drinking Kombucha continue to come. I have taken it for 3 months now. I have increased stamina, strength (at 56!) and I feel so vital. My skin seems to have tightened. This is evidenced by my tight lower arm. I can't wait to go back to teaching and use the board to write. No flabby underarms! What is most important is that I do not have the pain in my hip and joints. I single handedly put out a garden and am tending it. In just two hours I tilled 1/4 of an acre. The next morning I did not feel any pain in my back, wrists, or shoulders. It was amazing. Yesterday I redid our entire fish pond. This required moving some very large rocks. This morning I got up and felt no stiffness or pain. This stuff is amazing. I have introduced other family members to this. They are learning to keep the culture and make the tea presently. I also find that the support that is given by these people is very helpful and reliable... M.K."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some mushrooms are poisonous or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not toxic. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

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

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No one has ever died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for thousands of years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but then again some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to huge quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking large quantities of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are harmless but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor problem can be easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescription medications.

There is nothing that is naturally dangerous about this amazing tea; it is a delicious and safe beverage that can can improve your health!
