Question of the month; Does Kombucha Tea really improve health? Answer is...Absolutely yes! If it didn't improve health why would millions of people keep drinking it and making it, for over two thousand years.

Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a invigorating tea-based drink 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 expense of such studies. There are several centuries of popular accounts telling of health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This forms the kombucha culture which is also often popularly referred to as the "mushroom" although it is not really a mushroom. It forms on the surface of the fermenting tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Testimonial (Just one of numerous):

Testimonial - Diabetes: "I am a middled aged Type I insulin dependent diabetic, female. I first learned of kombucha tea through my sister who is an RN. I tried it. I was absolutely astounded to see that my need for insulin dropped considerably almost immediately, like the next day. And as long as I stayed on the tea, my body needed to be injected with less insulin. For those of you who don't know, the less insulin you have to inject, the healthier your body is. This past weekend I had company. We took an out-of-town train tour of my state. I didn't drink kombucha tea. What happened? Blood sugar levels went up! I got right back on kombucha tea and am now back on low need for insulin. This is for me something to shout about... M.B."
