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

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a 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 numerous):

Testimonial - Joint inflammation: "I find that Kombucha allows me to have an active life. I was recently notified that I am allergic to glutin, corn syrup, wheat and a lot of my most favorite foods. Kombucha cleans me out to a point where I can walk without pain, and have very little inflammation in my joints and fingers. I'm so glad my boyfriend introduced me to it. Now I'm off Methotrexate and prednisone and on occasion take 2 aleves a day. As time goes by in drinking Kombucha, I bet I won't need aleves at all. This really gets rid of all the toxins in my body that I've gathered up throughout the years. Thanks Kombucha... R.A.P."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some mushrooms are toxic or they have been misinformed 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 and is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

Nobody has died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over 2000 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 may be sensitive to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is permitted to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink large quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most all prescription medications.

There is nothing that is naturally dangerous about this amazing tea; it is a great tasting drink that can will improve health!
