About Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores 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" but it is not really a mushroom. It grows on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - General Health, Vitality: "I drank Komucha tea for nearly 10 years and what a blessing it was to me healthwise. I had very high energy levels, didn't have to see a doctor apart from routine medical check ups nor take prescription drugs. I always took the culture with me wherever I travelled to in order not to have to go for too long without drinking it. However I went to work abroad for a year and a half and took it with me but got careless and forgot the culture on my return to Canada.

Back in Montreal, I contacted all my friends I had introduced to the stuff for the culture but no one had it any longer. They had all gotten so lazy to carry on brewing the tea and thrown the scobies away.

As a result I was without the stuff for five months and it was one health problem after the other till this day. Psoriasis, hair loss, acne, flu, which I never had since I started drinking the tea, low energy levels and fatigue.I moved to Vancouver recently and was fortunate enough to find someone in the area over the internet from whom I bought the culture to start all over again.

It really worked for me and after my experiences over the last 5 months I don't think I could ever go without drinking the stuff again. Never! ... S.K."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for over two millennium it is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

Nobody has ever died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for thousands of years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but then again some few people could be allergic to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin 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 in which case it becomes more sour. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you drink huge amounts 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 wise thing to do.

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