What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are several centuries of popular stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially 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 really a mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - Chronic Fatigue: "I first heard about Kombucha tea because my aunt in France was using it as a refreshing, energizing drink. At the end of last summer, I was at a point in my chiropractic sudies where I had to go through a series of national board exams that required many days of intense studying. I was desperatly looking for an affordable way to fight my chronic lack of energy and fatigue. I thought about growing Kombucha tea and went on the internet to see if I could order a culture. I found the Kombucha America site and was able to start growing my own "mushroom" very easily and very quickly. I started to drink the tea and was amazed to see how refreshing it was. It certainly gave me lots of energy and made me go trhought all my exams with great success. I also noticed that my immune system was boosted because I did not get sick during the fall when everybody else was down with the flu. Also, when I went to India after drinking the tea for a month or two, I did not get any digestion problem (I was also very careful with what I was eating) while the other people in the group that ate the same food almost all got sick at some point during the trip. So I guess that, drinking the tea, for me, along with having a healthy life style including chiropractic care, was a definite health enhencer and a general way to prevent the occurence of disease... F.N."

Kombucha Tea safe?

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 and 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 widely sold in health food in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

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

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 then again some few people may be sensitive to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin 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 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 huge quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This limited problem can be easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
