Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it did not help to improve health why have millions of people have kept drinking it and brewing it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense 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 referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the very 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 a large number):

Testimonial - Constipation, Skin Tone: "I started drinking kombucha about a month ago when I was looking for an "energy drink" at the health food store. I didn't know what it was until a friend told me more about it when she saw me drinking it. Nobody had told me to expect this, but I noticed immediately that it took care of my constipation. Not to be gross or give too many details, but the constipation I get is more than an inconvenience. I normally only have a bowel movement about every 5 days, and that has led to some major problems. I've even had to have rectal surgery as a result of an infection I got (probably from passing hard stools). When I drink the kombucha, I have a bowel movement every day. About 5 days ago, we got back from a camping trip. I hadn't brought any kombucha with me and within 2-3 days of not having it, I had become constipated again and went 5-6 days without moving my bowels. When we got back, I started drinking the kombucha and immediately started having daily bowel movements again.

Another interesting thing that happened: a couple of weeks after I started drinking kombucha, my husband looked at me and said "You just get younger-looking every day." I certainly wasn't anticipating that! I didn't have any wrinkles or anything to start with, but now my skin has a youthful glow. ... S.A."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some fungi are poisonous or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for over 2000 years 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 Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food 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 which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No one has ever died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over 2000 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 some few people may be sensitive to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin or itch.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long to a more sour condition. 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 hardly a smart thing to do.

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