Question of the week; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it did not help to improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and preparing it, for over two thousand years.

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a carbonated tea-based beverage that millions drink for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific information supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies or have been conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are several centuries of popular stories supporting 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 produces the kombucha culture which is also most commonly referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not a true mushroom. It slowly forms on the surface of the fermenting tea during the period of time the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.
