Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it. Gilbert K. Chesterton

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being 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 in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also most often referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It forms on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Hormone Imbalance: "I have been drinking store bought Kombucha for a full month now, and looking for a way to make it. Thank you for your website! I will be making my order today for your starter. By the way, I read your disclaimer, and that is the best disclaimer I have ever read in my life! Especially near the bottom! Wish more businesses would be "real" people like yourselves! God bless you all! FYI Kombucha actually cured mine and my daughters hormone imbalances we have had for many years! After only 2 weeks for me. (I am 50-menopause) She is 20... M.L.P."

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

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

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The FDA has found this remarkable tea to be a safe drink provided it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you make has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

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 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 then again some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is allowed to ferment too long to a more sour condition. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would not be a smart thing to do, drinking huge amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are harmless but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
