What does kombucha tea do?

Question

I have heard about this kombucha tea and wanted to no more about it and it's affect on health. Is it like a daily tonic? Can I make it myself?

Answer 1

It is a drink that you take daily. Health experts recommend taking an average of 8-12 oz daily.

Kombucha Tea contains live enzymes; enzymes are crucial for proper digestion, absorption of vital nutrients, and all other functions of the body. Kombucha Tea helps prevent disease through the strengthening of the immune system and by supplying the body with easily absorbed nutrients. It slows or even reverses aging by removing toxins, while strengthening and increasing the number of disease-fighting agents in the body. Removes heavy metals from the body.

You can make it yourself -we do. It's very easy, inexpensive and simple to make. Made with tea, sugar (or honey), and of course the Kombucha fungus, it will take between 1-2 weeks before your first batch is ready to drink.

My son suffers from severe allergies to humidity and mites, and has an open stomach. Because of this he used to get bronchitis at LEAST every other month. And every night after he went to sleep he'd start coughing so much that he'd wake up and throw up. Then he'd spend the next hour coughing before he could go back to sleep. He was taking allergy medications, medicine to help empty his stomach faster, he had two different inhalers, cough medication - and he's not even 5 yet!

Then at the end of January my husband started giving our son Kombucha tea twice a day. The same day that we started giving it to my son, my son hasn't coughed at all by night, he hasn't thrown up, and he hasn't had bronchitis. He doesn't need to use his inhalers or his allergy medications anymore either.

To me, this truly is a miracle drink! I wrote a blog on it that you are welcome to read: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-5ksVjU47eqs_12qDwPwirmLXqHA-?cq=1&p=1797

Answer 2

It is a mildly alcoholic brew that people brew themselves in old Russia. Made from a kombucha fungus. If the word "fungus" turns you off right away, then the kombucha is not for you.
It has a mild tangy taste, very pleasant and claimed to be medicinal in nature.
Yes you can brew it yourself. but first find someone who will give you a starter kombucha. It takes seven days to grow one.

for over a year i prepared and drank that tea faithfully... it's easily grown , worked wonderfully on my stomach & for the first time i had proper working bowels and that little quarter cup of tea also gave me a lot of energy in the morn and i'd have one more little cup afterwork and then go surfing.
every week a new kombucha grows and i shared with friends and family...we all loved it originally then our bodies built up resistance and it did nothing for us later on so we stopped using.
try it, it's good for you and wont harm you
