About Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that many drink 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 cost of such medical studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Mouth Sores, Stomach problems: "I have a sores on my tongue, which I suspect is tongue cancer. I have gone to the doctor, and a biopsy was done, but negative cancer. The side effects of the sores are such, that I have grumbling stomach, and a pass through the anus, which I can't control. This has improved, and the sores on the tongue are drying, since I started drinking Kombucha Tea. God is doing great in my health through his creation, KT. I thank God for this wonderful drink for saving my life in a developing nation like Papua New Guinea, where medical services are not adequate. I praise God Almighty for his grace. Love you LORD, my master... P.M."

Kombucha Tea safe?

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

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for over two millennium it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No one 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 drink and , but some few people could be allergic to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

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 were to very large 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.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common food molds are not harmful but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is 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."]
