Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based beverage that many drink for its health benefits or medicinal reasons. There is scientific info supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold in stores but can easily be prepared by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It slowly grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and looks like a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of hundreds):

Testimonial - Allergy Rash, Dermatitis: "We have been growing and drinking Kombucha for 2 years now. My son "was highly allergic" to Brazilian Pepper Hedge (like poison ivy) and would develop a rash during certain times of the year. Of course we would get spripts from the dr. but they didn't help very much and the rash lasted for a couple of weeks. I put some Kombucha in a cup and applied it to the rash using a cotton ball. The very next morning, while washing (scratching) his face with a cloth, the rash literally "fell off. Underneath was beautiful new skin undefilied by the rash. He now drinks it daily (he's 11) and has not had dermitis since! I could go on and on but this was the most unbelievable thing I had seen. Thank you for all you do and I am truly thankful to God that we received our culture Kombucha America, and have enjoyed improved health since!!!... W.S.I."

Is Kombucha safe?

Most ask this question because they have heard that some mushrooms are toxic or they have been told misinformation about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not toxic. It is only "popularly" called a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used for health improvement for over two millennium it is now being sold in health shops and grocery stores in the U.S., it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself.

Kombucha Tea is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that this remarkable tea to be a safe beverage if it is correctly prepared 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 so for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which protects the tea from obnoxious pathogens.

No person has died from drinking properly made Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily and have done so for over 2000 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 allergic to any number of different things. A reaction is usually just a skin reddening or a minor.

The 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 huge quantities of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking huge quantities of anything is usually not a wise thing to do.

Rarely A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not likely. Most common household food molds are not harmful but a contamination can spoil the taste of the tea. This minor problem can be easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
