Kombucha tea is thought to have been invented in China around 221 BC during the Tsin Dynasty, and it was known as the “The Tea of Immortality”. It’s basically fermenting tea (green, black, oolong or white tea), sugar and the Kombucha culture. It tastes something like a cross between sparkling apple cider and champagne.
Kombucha has built up a cult following because of its anti-aging and health benefits (caveat, there is controversy as to whether Kombucha works for the following diseases because there have been no large-scale studies).
- Detoxification
- Joint Care
- Improves Digestion and Gut Health
- Boosts Immune System
- Fibromyalgia
- Depression
- May eliminate cancer
- Balancing metabolism
- Cleansing the blood
- Restoring energy
You can buy Kombucha drinks at most good health stores. But, I recommend you make your own at home for around $1.50 per gallon. You will find the recipe from foodrenegade.com and more information about Kombucha from ourgom.com – (you’ll find the links below). I have also added a demonstration video that I recommend you watch because there are procedures that you need to follow to make Kombucha safely.
