Question of the day; Does Kombucha really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for thousands of years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Feeling of Well Being: "My boyfriend, grandma and I have just recently started drinking K tea and we are in awesome moods. My grandma is going to cut back on the meds that she is on and see what happens. She says she feels great and wants to continue with it. As for my boyfriend and I we have had great days since drinking (Kombucha). I feel like it has evened out my mood and emotions. At first we were not sure if it was the tea and now we are sure of it. Anyone we know we are telling about this wonderful tea. Try it you have nothing to loose!!!... M.L.M."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for thousands of years and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No person has died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over two millennium. 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 things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is allowed to ferment too long in which case it becomes more sour. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge amounts of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common food molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor problem can be easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
