About Kombucha


Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that many drink 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 cost of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal 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 forms the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" although 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 dozens and dozens):

Testimonial - Depression, Inflammation: "I was having sone pain and inflammation in my tailbone. It became chronic and I really did not remember injuring it in any way. I have had a history of musculo-skeletal problems and another back injury a few months ago. I went to my local health food store and the man who worked there recommended Kombucha Tea. I may have tried it once in the past and was turned off by the taste. But this time I was determined to give it another try. I bought a 16 once bottle from a reputable company and from the first day I began to feel relief. The first thing was that I noticed I was able to think much clearer, and my depression which I struggled with for years was gone! I think I was depressed because I was sick and did not realize how much feeling sick all the time could affect my mind. When you feel better physically, you feel better mentally as well. Today is the second day and the pain in my tailbone has decreased considerably. It has to be attributed to the tea.

It seemed to put your bodily functions in balance. I have read about the warnings but if you buy from a reputable company, it's worth a try for anyone suffering from different ailments. Be careful, because it may have some natural caffiene affects so I being am conservative with it. But it is quite amazing stuff. ...

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?



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. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

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

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you make can become contaminated 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 helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No person has died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for thousands of years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people could be allergic to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening 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 wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink very large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking large quantities of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might 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 can be 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."]
