Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really work? Answer is...Yes! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people have kept drinking it and brewing it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories supporting 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 referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows 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 dozens and dozens):

Testimonial - Energy, Clarity of Thought: "I am a 19 year old male. In this past year my energy levels seem to have been going only downhill. I have recently started drinking and making my own Kombucha Tea, about 2 weeks ago. Within a couple days of starting this amazing tea I have noticed my energy levels have GREATLY increased. I am able to focus and think more clearly and just feel better! Just a couple of weeks ago I was beginning to wonder if I was suffering from chronic fatigue, but not anymore! Getting up in the morning used to be a chore, but now I wake up relaxed and refreshed. Try this tea, you will not be disappointed, it is simply amazing! ... J.P."

Kombucha Tea safe?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some fungi are toxic or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not poisonous. 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, it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage if it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has ever died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over 2000 years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

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

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is allowed to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you drink huge quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking very large amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed drugs.

There is nothing that is inherently dangerous about this amazing tea; it is a great tasting drink that can help to improve health!
