Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Yes! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people have kept drinking it and making it, for over two thousand years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available in stores 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 most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Energy Level, Kidney Stones, Gray Hair: " Thought I would update you on my "Kombucha Adventures. My husband and I had been taking the tea daily for about three weeks. We noticed the following results: an increase in his energy level (for him)... (and for me), what little white hair I had was turned back to a pale blonde shade... and, it enabled my 16 year old grandaughter to pass a kidney stone within 8 hours after starting to drink the kombucha tea (she had had a prior bout with kidney stones, so she knew something was helping her out). Quite an accomplishment I must say... D.A.S."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some fungi 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 Tea has been used as a health remedy for over 2000 years and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores 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 FDA has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily 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 sensitive 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 wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is allowed to ferment longer and to a more sour state. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you drink large amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking very large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are harmless but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor problem can be easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed drugs.

There is nothing that is inherently dangerous about this beneficial beverage; it is a great tasting drink that can will improve health!
