Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not better health why would millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for thousands of years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Energy, Skin Health, Arthritic & Joint Pains: "The results I have gotten from drinking Kombucha continue to come. I have taken it for 3 months now. I have increased stamina, strength (at 56!) and I feel so vital. My skin seems to have tightened. This is evidenced by my tight lower arm. I can't wait to go back to teaching and use the board to write. No flabby underarms! What is most important is that I do not have the pain in my hip and joints. I single handedly put out a garden and am tending it. In just two hours I tilled 1/4 of an acre. The next morning I did not feel any pain in my back, wrists, or shoulders. It was amazing. Yesterday I redid our entire fish pond. This required moving some very large rocks. This morning I got up and felt no stiffness or pain. This stuff is amazing. I have introduced other family members to this. They are learning to keep the culture and make the tea presently. I also find that the support that is given by these people is very helpful and reliable... M.K."

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 and it is not poisonous. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for thousands of years and is now being widely sold in health food in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

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

Nobody has ever died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for thousands of years. 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 could be allergic to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

Kombucha 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 very sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This small 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."]
