What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal accounts supporting 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 produces the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It forms on the very surface of the tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of many):

Testimonial - Energy, headaches, vision, hair color, weightloss: "I haven't used Konbucha tea for several years. Now that I am over 50 and suffering with several of the typical ailments that accompany menopause, such as high cholesterol, hypertension, hypothyroidism and arthritis. I am ready to start drinking it again. I had forgoten about this remarkable tea but, I now realize that is may be just what I need to help with the symthoms of these conditions and to help detoxify my body of the several medications I am told I need to controll thes symthoms, though non of them will be curing them. My doctors feels that the tea is safe to drink while on medication but, advises to drink is separatly. Many years ago when my family and i were on the tea, I was perfectly healthy but, I know it gave me energy and I stopped getting headaches. It also improved my vision. Each times I was examined for glasses, my prescription was weaker. My father's hair had been silver for years. It returned to dark brown, as did all the hair on his body. My mother lost pounds and inches! Our dog was given the tea for 10 years. This dog lived to the age of 17.2 years! He had to serious health problems and still had good vision. Making Kombucha tea is a little work and requires a dedicated routine but, I am convinced it is worth it for the long haul. I am very hopeful that my health will improve and maybe I can eventually reduce the amount of medication I am on. I am excited to be starting this healthful habit once again!... D.K."

Should I be worried about the safety of Kombucha?

Most ask this question because are aware that some mushrooms are poisonous or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha Tea has been used for health improvement for over two millennium and is now being sold in food and health 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 F.D.A. has found Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink provided it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you prepare can become contaminated but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha because it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol helping to protect it.

No person has ever died from drinking properly made 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 beverage and , but then again some few people may be sensitive to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or itch.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than grapefruit juice or orange juice, unless it is permitted to ferment too long then it becomes more acidic. 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 large quantities of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common food molds are harmless but they can spoil the taste of the tea. This small problem is easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly coveredKombucha is not known to counteract negatively with most all prescribed medications.

There is nothing that is inherently dangerous about this remarkable tea; it is a delicious and safe beverage that can will improve health!
