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

What is Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based drink that is often drunk 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 expense of such studies. There are many centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is sold commercially 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 while the tea is fermenting and resembles a whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Multiple Sclorosis, Energy, Sleep: "I'm am just writing to let you know that I have been drinking the tea now for one week. I have Multiple Sclorosis. Having to take a shot everyday has been painful. I haven't had a shot in a week since drinking the tea. I had been wanting to take a break but my body kept telling me that it wasn't ready. Since I have been drinking the tea I'm in a better mood, I have more energy, and best of all I have been able to sleep at night. I will definately let you know how I am doing as the weeks go on. By me drinking this tea hopefully I will get a little bit of my life back. I hate being so sore that my kids can't hug me... A.M.G."

Kombucha Tea safe?

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

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

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The FDA has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe drink if it is correctly prepared in a clean way so as not to become contaminated by common food pathogens. Any food that you make can become contaminated but the risk is probably less for Kombucha because it is a fermented drink which as it ferments it makes a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

Nobody has ever died from drinking correctly prepared Kombucha Tea and millions drink the tea daily 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 drink and , but then again some few people may be sensitive to any number of things. A reaction is usually just a minor skin blush or a minor.

Kombucha Tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit 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 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 good idea.

A Kombucha mushroom may develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are not harmful but they can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor problem is easily prevented by keeping the fermenting tea properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
