Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating 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 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 sold commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Fibromyalgia, Pain Relief, Energy, Sleep, Hot Flashes, Skin Tone: "I ordered my cultures late in March and have been drinking the tea since early April. Right away, I noticed that my fibromyalgia was not as bad, and that my arthritis was also less bothersome. After three months I can say that it has helped my pain level greatly, my skin is softer, my nails are smooth and have about lost the linear ridges that were in them. My energy level is way up, and I sleep like a log. I have lost 6 pounds without really trying, and, I think it is regulating my hormones. I have not had a hot flash since I started drinking the tea, and the stiff hairs that were growing on my chin are much fewer. Shoot, when I die, bury me with a gallon of this stuff. I want to pass it around to my new friends in heaven. :-) ... S.L."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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 toxic. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for over 2000 years and is now being widely sold in health food in the USA, it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No one has died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over 2000 years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people could be sensitive to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

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

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are harmless but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This limited problem can be easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most all prescription drugs.

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