Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Yes! If it didn't improve health why have millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for thousands of years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold 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" although it is not really a mushroom. It forms 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 - Candida: "I used the tea for about four years several years ago, and gave many of the cultures away. I was having a terrible time with apthous ulcers in my mouth. They were extremely painful, and would be very hot and feverish, swollen and irritated. I have had as many as nine at one time. I started drinking the tea and the ulcers stopped and were gone within the first week. I had one that had been in my mouth for about two months and was very deep and feverish. It just disappeard. My culture died after we moved across the state, and I couldn't find another one. I am so excited to be getting another one! I am hoping this one will help me lose weight. I will let you know... S.L."

No person has ever died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for thousands of 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 some few people could be allergic to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a minor skin blush or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is allowed 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 very large quantities of anything is usually not a good idea.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are harmless but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea.
