Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place. ~Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor, 1977

Question of the day; Does Kombucha really work? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for thousands of years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. 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 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 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 many):

Testimonial - Energy, Clarity of Thought: "I am a 19 year old male. In this past year my energy levels seem to have been going only downhill. I have recently started drinking and making my own Kombucha Tea, about 2 weeks ago. Within a couple days of starting this amazing tea I have noticed my energy levels have GREATLY increased. I am able to focus and think more clearly and just feel better! Just a couple of weeks ago I was beginning to wonder if I was suffering from chronic fatigue, but not anymore! Getting up in the morning used to be a chore, but now I wake up relaxed and refreshed. Try this tea, you will not be disappointed, it is simply amazing! ... J.P."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some fungi are poisonous 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 over two millennium and is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., far less expensive 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 if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because 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 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 beverage and , but some few people may be allergic to any number of 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 too long then it becomes more acidic. 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 very large amounts of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

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