What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal accounts 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 produces the kombucha culture which is also most often referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It forms on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

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."

Is Kombucha safe?

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

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for over 2000 years and is now being sold in food and health in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No person has ever died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over 2000 years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but then again some few people may be sensitive to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a minor skin blush or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge amounts of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem can be 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."]
