Kombucha is different than most herbal teas in that it is fermented. This tea is also unusual from other herbal remedies in that there is scientific data supporting Kombucha tea’s ability to promote health. Most such claims made of holistic medications are based on anecdotal information and accounts of those who use them. There are many unsubstantiated claims made about the effects of Kombucha, but the one proven benefit is the tea does have antioxidant and immune influencing abilities. It can protect the liver and lower the stress level. Benefits attributed to drinking this tea that aren’t proven at this time include preventing cancer, acting as a sleeping aid, and stimulating the re-growth of hair. For this reason, along with it’s boosting of the immune system the tea is very popular with those in middle age or older.

    Recently at the farmers market a very healthy woman in her 50s was selling fermented foods. the health benefits of them can be researched on the internet. She introduced me to a tea she said it was made with a fermented mushroom. she said it would help with digestion and give me a refreshing cleanse, and to top it off a boost of energy, ( remember i am at the farmers market no bathrooms.) So I reluctantly but willingly ( wanting a refreshing cleanse since i was bound up). took her sample, expecting to be instantly euphoric and possible psychedelic and have a boost of energy and a refreshing cleanse to boot. A Quadfecta effect. Well none of the above happened right away. however several hours later, a day later to be exact after one more small shot of Tea, The cleanse hit and O BOY, yes I was refreshed, energized and a little euphoric.

    I am not promoting this in anyway, but it is worth a try and you can decide for yourself.

    But as far as i am concerned Kombucha is something i will be adding to my diet.

    Best of times

    Where would you purchase this through. I'm using the Smooth Move tea with Senna but don't want to use it every day so I'm looking at other teas.

    I was introduced to it over
    I was introduced to it over the winter and also posted something about it here. I didn't have any that had anything to do with a mushroom though just fermented tea. If you are interested Look up Weston Price Diet or organization It focuses on living a healthy life style by consuming whole foods. It's interesting. I also get an energy boost every time I drink it and thought it had something to do with the caffine since its made of tea, but maybe not if it is fermented?
