Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really work? Answer is...Yes! If it did not help to improve health why have millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that is often drunk 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 expense of such studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It grows on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Energy Level, Kidney Stones, Gray Hair: " Thought I would update you on my "Kombucha Adventures. My husband and I had been taking the tea daily for about three weeks. We noticed the following results: an increase in his energy level (for him)... (and for me), what little white hair I had was turned back to a pale blonde shade... and, it enabled my 16 year old grandaughter to pass a kidney stone within 8 hours after starting to drink the kombucha tea (she had had a prior bout with kidney stones, so she knew something was helping her out). Quite an accomplishment I must say... D.A.S."

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 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 sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has found this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage if it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No one has ever died from drinking properly prepared 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 beverage and , but some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

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

A Kombucha mushroom may 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 minor problem can be easily prevented by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
