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

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense 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 forms the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It forms on the very surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - IBS, Colitis, Chrons: "I just came across my previous testimonial from June 10, 2001 "I had Inflammatory Bowel Disease for ten years. I tried many alternatives... " Now it's June, , and I'm still symptom free. No doubt for me that Kombucha is effective against I.B.D.(Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's). Now I've learned more about the cause of I.B.D. and how Kombucha cures it. If you're interested, search for "Mycobacterium Avium Tuberculosis. Short version: it causes I.B.D. and Kombucha kills it. Not Kombucha pills or Kombucha tea bags, but authentic, fermented Kombucha tea... B.P."

No person has ever died from drinking correctly prepared 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 may be sensitive to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a minor skin blush or a minor.

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

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are harmless but they can ruin the taste of the tea.
