Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that many drink 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 cost of such medical studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be prepared 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 slowly grows on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of dozens and dozens):

Testimonial - Multiple Sclerosis (MS): "I am very much excited about getting "on" the tea again. I was using it for 2 years before my culture became contaminated after moving to our new home. Doctors had a hard time diagnosing my M.S. because Kombucha took away many symptoms. I am going to keep one for myself and get another "M.S." friend started. Can't wait!... G.W."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they know that some mushrooms are poisonous or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used as a health remedy for thousands of years and is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared 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 drink which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

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

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but then again some few people might be sensitive to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

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

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common food molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor 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."]
