Question of the month; 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 brewing it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly forms on the very 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 - Rhumatiod Arthritis, Flu: " 'G'Day, I have been using and brewing K-Tea off and on for 15 yrs. I concur with the other statements, you definately are grateful to be drinking it again. I'm going to mail you some more amazing experiences but will keep this one short. During the winter of 1997, a nasty flu virus left hundreds of people suceptible to acute rhumatiod arthritis. By the time we realized what the flu had lead to, I was too paralyzed to dress myself. I spent 3 weeks in the physical rehabilitation hospital "learning how to cope with my new disability. After I was discharged, the first thing I did was to dive into my K-tea factory. I had been brewing it and passing it on to needy people, not realizing how run down my immune system was. It took two more weeks before I could bend my hands to grasp the steering wheel properly.

Day by day Kombucha flushed the "flare-up" out of my body. At the six week check-up, I was the only one from my ward that wasn't on steroids and "the little blue liver pill. So because of that I was treated with disgust by the medical staff. I came home, looked at my Kirlian photo on the fridge, poured another glass of K-Tea and knew I would be just fine.

The following summer I played a great season on a womens' fastball team. I played one more summer after that until I took up golfing. Not bad for a 53 yr. old granny with "a severe disability.

My grandchildren all love K-tea and have no qualms about turning junk candy down. Love your educational site... keep up the good work folks... D.E.D."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for over two millennium and 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 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 has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No one has ever died from drinking correctly prepared 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 could be allergic to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is allowed to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not 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 huge amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

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

There is nothing that is inherently dangerous about this remarkable tea; it is a great tasting drink that can can improve health!
