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

Description of 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 or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal 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 often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Endometriosis, Dandruff, Menopause, Sleep: "I received a Kombucha culture in the beginning of December and my family has been drinking the tea. My sister has endometriosis and is usually in constant pain especially at that time of the month but now she is nearly pain free. She also tells me that her dandruff problem appears to be easing. My mother has been going through menopause and now that she's using the tea, she's been able to eat chocolate again without getting a hot flash. I was recently in a car accident and although I'm doing fine, I haven't been sleeping well. Now that I'm drinking the tea, I can sleep through the night. That's all for now. I'll update later... J.L.H."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for thousands of years and is now being sold in food and health in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has ever died from drinking properly 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 may be sensitive to any number of different things. A reaction 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 too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you drink large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking very large quantities of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom might 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 can be easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
