I am at the moment deaf in the ears, hoarse in the throat, red in the nose, green in the gills, damp in the eyes, twitchy in the joints and fractious in temper from a most intolerable and oppressive cold. ~Charles Dickens

Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and brewing it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts 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 forms the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - Colds, flu, energy, cancer: "I have been drinking Kombucha Mushroom Tea for over 15 years now. I no longer get colds or flu and my energy level is unsurpassed by any of my friends! I am healthy, happy, energetic. I LOVE THIS TEA! I am not using it to CURE anything, but I drink 16-24 ounces each day and notice a big difference if I don't drink it for a day or two. I make my own and I am very careful to avoid any type of contamination. My kids think I am crazy because of the way it smells. But it kept my DOG alive for 7 extra years (she was diagnosed with cancer!) and the vet cannot explain it! To me, it is WONDERFUL and I will drink it until the day I die!!!... P.S."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

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

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for over two millennium it 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 stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No one has died from drinking correctly 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 then again some few people might be allergic to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange 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 huge amounts 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 good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are harmless but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor problem is 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."]
