Question of the week; Does Kombucha really work? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it did not better health why would millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for thousands of years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such medical 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 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 a true mushroom. It grows on the very surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of a large number):

Testimonial - Allergy Rash, Dermatitis: "We have been growing and drinking Kombucha for 2 years now. My son "was highly allergic" to Brazilian Pepper Hedge (like poison ivy) and would develop a rash during certain times of the year. Of course we would get spripts from the dr. but they didn't help very much and the rash lasted for a couple of weeks. I put some Kombucha in a cup and applied it to the rash using a cotton ball. The very next morning, while washing (scratching) his face with a cloth, the rash literally "fell off. Underneath was beautiful new skin undefilied by the rash. He now drinks it daily (he's 11) and has not had dermitis since! I could go on and on but this was the most unbelievable thing I had seen. Thank you for all you do and I am truly thankful to God that we received our culture Kombucha America, and have enjoyed improved health since!!!... W.S.I."

Kombucha Tea 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. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for thousands of years and is now being widely sold in health food in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has found this remarkable tea to be a safe drink provided it is prepared properly in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it produces a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

Nobody has died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over 2000 years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented drink and , but some few people could be sensitive to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a minor skin blush or itch.

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

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor problem is easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescribed medications.

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