Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it didn't improve health why have millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for over 2000 years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink 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 expense of such studies. There are many centuries of popular stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available 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 referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows 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 hundreds):

Testimonial - General Health, Cancer, Joint Pains, Appearance: "Hi... My name is Jim I was introduced to the tea about twelve years ago made my first batch thought it was good, drank for a while, during this time my daughter was diognosed with non hoskin lymphonia cancer. She drank the tea for about three months and was given a clean bill of health. Shes now over forty and doing well. I've seen a a man who drank the tea for about a week and stopped using his walker. Myself I drank on and off until about a year ago when the doctor told me I was growing cacarats so I drank it daily. I'm 70 years old, I take no medicines, pass for fifty, at least that is what I'm told. I only go to the doctor for check ups. Not bieng sick is the greatest blessing one could have, not having those aches, the joint pains, great. I must give some credit to the tea. Thanks... J.W."

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