What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold 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" but it is not really a mushroom. It forms on the surface of the fermenting tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of dozens and dozens):

Testimonial - Endometriosis, Dandruff, Menopause, Sleep: "I received a Kombucha culture in the beginning of December and my family has been drinking the tea. My sister has endometriosis and is usually in constant pain especially at that time of the month but now she is nearly pain free. She also tells me that her dandruff problem appears to be easing. My mother has been going through menopause and now that she's using the tea, she's been able to eat chocolate again without getting a hot flash. I was recently in a car accident and although I'm doing fine, I haven't been sleeping well. Now that I'm drinking the tea, I can sleep through the night. That's all for now. I'll update later... J.L.H."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they know 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 has been used for health improvement for over 2000 years it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. All foods that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No one has 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 sensitive to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin or itch.

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 wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to large quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking large amounts of anything is usually not a good idea.

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

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