Question of the week; Does Kombucha really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it did not better health why would millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for thousands of years.

What is Kombucha


Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that millions drink 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 cost of such medical studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be prepared 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 fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of dozens and dozens):

Testimonial - General Health, Respitorary Health: "We recently ordered a new starter vial from Kombucha America. Tomorrow is our first day that we'll be able to drink Kombucha again in over a year. Because we moved, been busy, death in family, etc -- we lost our original culture.

Both my husband and I drank Kombucha for eight years. It's an amazing drink!!! For my husband, Kombucha really helped his constant allergies, and his arthritis. (In addition, he just generally "felt better" with more energy, better sleep, etc). For me, it's a godsend in clearing out my lungs each day. After 40 years of smoking, needless to say, my lungs are in ruins. But if I drink Kombucha both in the morning (first thing), and again at night, my lungs clear up, and I can breath cleanly. It's amazing. I've even tested this, putting off drinking Kombucha till later in the morning or afternoon, and it's the Kombucha that does the trick!

Many of you will be skeptical about drinking this "health" remedy -- much like I was. When my husband first came home from work talking about Kombucha stories from other employees, I thought it was bunk, he was crazy, and that the effects people were feeling at his workplace were simply the "placebo effect. As a Microbiologist, I was especially skeptical. But, after much research and study, I agreed that it would be safe to make at home, (follow the instructions), and I made my husband his first culture. After about 2 weeks, he began to feel better. That's when I gave it a try. That was 8 years ago.

One word of advise! Don't stop drinking Kombucha just because you no longer feel any "new" benefits after a while, or because you just get too busy to make it. Kombucha continues to work as long as you drink it. What occurs is that you simply become accustomed to feeling better. If you stop drinking Kombucha, however, for a week or two, you'll begin to feel like you did BEFORE you began drinking the tea. It will occur gradually, till one day you realize that the reason you're feeling worse is probably because you're not drinking your daily Kombucha.

We're strong advocates of Kombucha. It's the ONLY health supplement we take aside from Vitamins/Minerals. Give it a try, a reasonable time to work (at least a month), and keep track of how you feel every day. Hopefully, you'll be as amazed as we were.

Tomorrow our culture will be ready! It smells delicious, is bubbly, and we're going to have our first Kombucha in over a year in Champaign glass. We are excited, and will never again be without Kombucha for so long... S.L.A."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?



Most ask this question because they know 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 over two millennium it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea 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 can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No one has died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage 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 drink and , but some few people could be sensitive to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange 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 drink large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small 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."]
