Question of the month; Does Kombucha really improve health? Answer is...Yes! If it didn't improve health why have millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for thousands of years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense 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 solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most often referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It forms on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Joint inflammation: "I find that Kombucha allows me to have an active life. I was recently notified that I am allergic to glutin, corn syrup, wheat and a lot of my most favorite foods. Kombucha cleans me out to a point where I can walk without pain, and have very little inflammation in my joints and fingers. I'm so glad my boyfriend introduced me to it. Now I'm off Methotrexate and prednisone and on occasion take 2 aleves a day. As time goes by in drinking Kombucha, I bet I won't need aleves at all. This really gets rid of all the toxins in my body that I've gathered up throughout the years. Thanks Kombucha... R.A.P."

Kombucha Tea safe?

Most ask this question because they know that some fungi are toxic or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not toxic. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used as a health remedy for over two millennium it is now being sold in food and health in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink if it is prepared properly 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 because it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

Nobody has 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 may be sensitive to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

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

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. 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 coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed drugs.

There is nothing that is dangerous about this beneficial beverage; it is a great tasting drink that can will improve your health!
