Why I Drink Kombucha
Kombucha is an effervescent fermentation of sweetened
tea that is used as a functional food.
Kombucha is a healthy version of pop (without high fructose corn syrup,
artificial coloring, artificial flavoring and aluminum). It is
loaded with probiotics, aids in digestion, helps detoxify bad stuff out of your
body, is a dramatic immune system booster, can help prevent cancer, can help
the body eliminate the chemotherapy from the bodies of chemotherapy patients.
You can make it yourself (very easy and inexpensive) and it tastes great!
Kombucha
has been consumed for over 2000 years the world over. It has been extensively
studied and applied for several medical uses in Russia, Germany, China and many
other places. It is naturally carbonated and is purported to have a host

Simply
put, Kombucha is an all natural health beverage chockfull of probiotics and
other healthy amino acids. Probiotic literally means “for life”. Unlike
antibiotics, which kill ALL of the bacteria in your body, even the good stuff,
probiotics re-establish the natural ecology of the intestinal flora. Probiotics
are said to boost immunity, enhance mood, fight allergies, detoxify the body
and rid the body of disease. The Kombucha benefits you experience may vary.
However, Kombucha is NOT a panacea – it doesn’t cure ANYTHING! It brings the body back into balance
so that it may heal itself naturally. That is how it is able to do so much –
because it works with your body’s natural immune system.
