Question of the week; Does Kombucha really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not better health why have millions of people have kept drinking it and making it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of anecdotal stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy 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 forms on the surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - Constipation, Skin Tone: "I started drinking kombucha about a month ago when I was looking for an "energy drink" at the health food store. I didn't know what it was until a friend told me more about it when she saw me drinking it. Nobody had told me to expect this, but I noticed immediately that it took care of my constipation. Not to be gross or give too many details, but the constipation I get is more than an inconvenience. I normally only have a bowel movement about every 5 days, and that has led to some major problems. I've even had to have rectal surgery as a result of an infection I got (probably from passing hard stools). When I drink the kombucha, I have a bowel movement every day. About 5 days ago, we got back from a camping trip. I hadn't brought any kombucha with me and within 2-3 days of not having it, I had become constipated again and went 5-6 days without moving my bowels. When we got back, I started drinking the kombucha and immediately started having daily bowel movements again.

Another interesting thing that happened: a couple of weeks after I started drinking kombucha, my husband looked at me and said "You just get younger-looking every day." I certainly wasn't anticipating that! I didn't have any wrinkles or anything to start with, but now my skin has a youthful glow. ... S.A."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they know that some fungi are toxic or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for thousands of years it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

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

No one has ever died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for over two millennium. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or itch.

Kombucha 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 wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink very large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common such molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor problem can be easily prevented by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
