About Kombucha

Kombucha is a effervescent tea-based drink 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 studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal stories telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be made at home 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" but it is not really a mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - Energy: "I must say, I am quite impressed with my brew. The mushroom that grew was thick and hardy. The taste was incredible. After several days of drinking it, my energy has returned... A.T."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because they know that some mushrooms are toxic or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha 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.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage if it is prepared properly in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by common food pathogens. All foods that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink and as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

No person has died from drinking properly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily 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 drink and , but then again some few people might be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

Kombucha 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 cannot change the pH level of your blood unless you were to very large quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common such molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This limited problem can be easily avoided by keeping the fermenting tea properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most prescription medications.

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