Question of the day; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for over two thousand years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts telling of 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 most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not a true mushroom. It forms on the surface of the fermenting tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Yeast infection, Candida, Appetite depressant: "I have had painful, red-hot yeast infections in the folds of my skin (under the breasts, and under the belly) non-stop for 5 years after being hospitalized and having stomach surgery. I tried a popular product called Three-Lac, after reading the testimonials, to rid myself of the yeast. I also went on a sugar-free, low-carb diet but nothing helped. My best hope was to slather on salves to cover the pain and itching.

Within 6 days of drinking 8-12 oz of Kombucha combined with raw juice daily, the yeast is completely gone. I mean - GONE - after suffering for 5 years!! I also notice it has decreased my appetite, which would make sense if candida was present in my body.

I will post more after using kombucha longer, but wanted to report this amazing benefit! ... H.N.M."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because are aware that some fungi are toxic or they have been told misinformation 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 two millennium and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has found Kombucha 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 can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has ever died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over two millennium. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people may be allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

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 huge amounts of the tea when it is sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking large amounts of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

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