Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Yes! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink 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 studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available 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 most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It slowly forms 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 - Insomnia, Pain Relief: "I was very impressed with the expediency of the order. It came within a few days. The instructions are easy to follow. I am making it in large glass apothecary jars with a paper towel and elastic over the top . Then I put a dark pillow case over the whole thing. It works great. We're on our 3rd batch. Amazed at how quickly we had results! My husband has been suffering for years with non-healing rib fractures and within a day, the pain subsided significantly. He doesn't want to jinx it but, he thinks that this may change his life! I have had insomnia forever and I'm now sleeping like a rock. Recommending your company to all of my friends... D.E.G."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they know that some mushrooms are poisonous or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha 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 stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

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

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people might be allergic to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin 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 wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge amounts 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 not harmful but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
