Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really work? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not help to improve health why have millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for thousands of years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info 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 supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a spongy 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 very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Osteopenia, Osteoperosis, High Blood Pressure, Heart Diease: "I had suffered a by-pass surgery and my wife, always researching about alternative medicine found this site about Kombucha tea, she had heard of that a few years ago and since I was up to another stent (a procedure similar to a by-pass heart surgery) we decided to give it a try. To make a long story a short one, I never had the by-pass surgery, never needed it. I reduced almost to nothing some of the drugs I was taking (not suggesting you do the same without consulting with your physician) others I flatly removed. My blood pressure was the lowest ever and I eliminate all medication to blood pressure. My wife suffering from horrendous "hot flashes" and osteopenia ( a precursor to osteoperosis) had such an improvement. She never had another hot flash again ( a condition she was suffering for the last 8 years) and her osteopenia is almost gone . I went from a pale yellow wall color to a fresh teenager blush. My wife lost five pounds without trying and no more hot flashes for her. Don't hold yourself back from trying this amazing Kombucha and we do rely on his product and vouch for that. Follow the instructions. We each drink about 3 glasses a day and we bought a whole bunch of Glass jars at Wall-Mart. Just thought I should give something back to people that may suffer from the same condition I do or did, or my wife. Sincerely, ...M."

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 told misinformation 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 2000 years and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

Nobody has ever died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily 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 drink and , but some few people may be sensitive to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a minor skin blush or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long to a more sour condition. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink huge amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge amounts of anything is usually not a good idea.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed drugs.

There is nothing that is inherently dangerous about this remarkable tea; it is a delicious and safe beverage that can help to improve your health!
