Question of the day; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and brewing it, for over 2000 years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink 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 many centuries of popular stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It 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 - Acne, Skin, Energy, Depression, Hair growth, Weight, Digestion: "I'm in love with my kombucha tea! It has cleared up my acne, given my skin a beautiful glow, filled me with energy, erased my depression, sped up my hair growth, controlled my appetite, and aided my digestion. I drink 4 oz in the morning upon waking, 8-12 oz throughout the day, and 4 oz before bed. After making 1 gallon of the tea, I pour it into empthy glass Snappple bottles and store it in the fridge. I want everyone in my life to make this drink a part of their lifestyle!... K.W

Is Kombucha safe?

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

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for over 2000 years and is now being widely sold in health food in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has found this remarkable tea to be a safe drink if it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because 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 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 beverage and , but some few people could be sensitive to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking large amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not common. Most common food molds are harmless but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
