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

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based drink that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available 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 referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Skin Rash, Nails, Colds/Flu: "I started drinking kombucha about 8 months ago. I had a rash on the inside of my palms that I had been seeing a chiropractor/NAET specialist for. She had helped me with other allergic rashes but this one kept coming back. She thought it was emotional. A few days after I started drinking it, the rash went away and never came back. I had also got a routine blood test taken right before I started drinking the tea. Nothing was said of my results until I saw the dr. about a month later and she said that my liver counts were high and asked me to get another blood test. That one came out normal and although it could be coincidence, I think it was because of the tea. I never did lose any weight because of it but I noticed my fingernails are stronger and prettier than they've ever been. I also went through the whole winter season with one cold/fever for about a week when I usually get the stomach flu and a few colds every year. ... L.M.B."

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 poisonous. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for thousands of 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.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No one has ever died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage 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. 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 allowed to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. Drinking Kombucha Tea cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you were to large quantities of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking very large quantities of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common household food molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This small problem can be easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed medications.

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