About Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It grows 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 - Allergy Rash, Dermatitis: "We have been growing and drinking Kombucha for 2 years now. My son "was highly allergic" to Brazilian Pepper Hedge (like poison ivy) and would develop a rash during certain times of the year. Of course we would get spripts from the dr. but they didn't help very much and the rash lasted for a couple of weeks. I put some Kombucha in a cup and applied it to the rash using a cotton ball. The very next morning, while washing (scratching) his face with a cloth, the rash literally "fell off. Underneath was beautiful new skin undefilied by the rash. He now drinks it daily (he's 11) and has not had dermitis since! I could go on and on but this was the most unbelievable thing I had seen. Thank you for all you do and I am truly thankful to God that we received our culture Kombucha America, and have enjoyed improved health since!!!... W.S.I."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some fungi are toxic or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and 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 sold in health shops and grocery stores 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 beverage provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because 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 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 might be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange 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 were to 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.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This limited 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."]
