What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the expense of such studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a solid mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also most often 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 whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Skin Rash, Nails, Colds/Flu: "I started drinking kombucha about 8 months ago. I had a rash on the inside of my palms that I had been seeing a chiropractor/NAET specialist for. She had helped me with other allergic rashes but this one kept coming back. She thought it was emotional. A few days after I started drinking it, the rash went away and never came back. I had also got a routine blood test taken right before I started drinking the tea. Nothing was said of my results until I saw the dr. about a month later and she said that my liver counts were high and asked me to get another blood test. That one came out normal and although it could be coincidence, I think it was because of the tea. I never did lose any weight because of it but I noticed my fingernails are stronger and prettier than they've ever been. I also went through the whole winter season with one cold/fever for about a week when I usually get the stomach flu and a few colds every year. ... L.M.B."

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 poisonous. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for thousands of years it is now being widely sold in health food in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea 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 common food pathogens. All foods that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage and as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

Nobody has died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for thousands of years. It is safer than aspirin. There are 1000 aspirin related aspirin deaths yearly.

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but then again some few people could be allergic to any number of different things. An allergic is usually just a skin reddening 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 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 hardly a smart thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom might develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common household food molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This small 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."]
