Question of the week; Does Kombucha really work? Answer is...It absolutely does! If it didn't improve health why have millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for over two thousand years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been 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 in stores but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a solid 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 a true mushroom. It grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Rhumatiod Arthritis, Flu: " 'G'Day, I have been using and brewing K-Tea off and on for 15 yrs. I concur with the other statements, you definately are grateful to be drinking it again. I'm going to mail you some more amazing experiences but will keep this one short. During the winter of 1997, a nasty flu virus left hundreds of people suceptible to acute rhumatiod arthritis. By the time we realized what the flu had lead to, I was too paralyzed to dress myself. I spent 3 weeks in the physical rehabilitation hospital "learning how to cope with my new disability. After I was discharged, the first thing I did was to dive into my K-tea factory. I had been brewing it and passing it on to needy people, not realizing how run down my immune system was. It took two more weeks before I could bend my hands to grasp the steering wheel properly.

Day by day Kombucha flushed the "flare-up" out of my body. At the six week check-up, I was the only one from my ward that wasn't on steroids and "the little blue liver pill. So because of that I was treated with disgust by the medical staff. I came home, looked at my Kirlian photo on the fridge, poured another glass of K-Tea and knew I would be just fine.

The following summer I played a great season on a womens' fastball team. I played one more summer after that until I took up golfing. Not bad for a 53 yr. old granny with "a severe disability.

My grandchildren all love K-tea and have no qualms about turning junk candy down. Love your educational site... keep up the good work folks... D.E.D."
