what is a quick and easy way to get rid of the flu? Other then keeping up with fluids, taking Vitamin C, its hard to say how fast a person can recover from it, everyone is different. My friend knows how to take Kombucha and make a tonic with it. It's really helped in our house. Kombucha is a natural cleanser. I am not a doctor. Like anything you injest, you sould consult your physician to be sure it is a safe option for you. If you choose to try this tea, remember to only start in small quantites 2 oz, twice a day, graducally increasing. If you are not accustomed to Korean or Indian foods, you'll really appreciate only starting off with 2oz.
Here is a clip from kombucha.org:
The Kombucha Culture, sometimes mistakenly referred to as a mushroom, is a symbiotic, probiotic colony of yeast and bacteria (the friendly type). Kombucha Tea is made by combining the culture, with a mixture of black tea, and sugar. The ingredients are allowed to "ferment", usually from 7-10 days. The resulting beverage contains dozens of elements, many of which are known to promote healing for a variety of conditions.
Traditionally, Kombucha use has spread (for over 2000 years) by the passing of Kombucha Cultures from family to family, and friend to friend. We give away Kombucha in our neighborhood. We provide mail order Kombucha Cultures, and/or ready made K-Tea, to those interested.

Our Opinion
We have been making and using Kombucha products for several years. We have noted numerous improvements in our overall health including: increased energy, sharper eyesight, and better skin condition, to name a few. We firmly believe, that daily use of controlled amounts of Kombucha Tea, along with improved diet (particularly increased water intake), and a program of spiritual growth, can help to deal with a variety of ailments, and/or help to maintain good health. We conclude that Kombucha is a valuable supplement to health care, however, is not a substitute or replacement for established or required professional medical care. We recommend: Stay open to input, use methods that work for you, and avoid extremist positions regarding your health care.

WE DO SUGGEST, that if you have a friend or family member that uses Kombucha, you may want to use them as a source for obtaining more information, and/or your 1st culture(s).

Regardless of what you may read or hear, if you are making your own Kombucha Tea, we strongly recommend: Use of stainless steel (2nd choice glass) pots, (for brewing tea), large wide mouth glass jars (for fermenting), and wooden or plastic utensils. You must avoid contact with metal containers/objects, in regards to care/storage of fermented tea and the cultures themselves.
Kombucha is strong stuff, so you should be careful regarding the amount you use initially. As a rule, most people would be best served by limiting intake to 2 oz., 2X daily (4 oz. total) to start. We have found that with Kombucha, more is not necessarily better.
When making K-Tea, You will need lots of tea, sugar, some fine cloth, and a heavy rubber band. Jars and pots should be kept extremely clean.
Kombucha reproduces itself, so, if maintained appropriately, you could have/make a lifetime supply from a single Kombucha Culture.
We will be adding pertinent information to this site as it becomes available to us. If you have anything you would like to share, or see posted here, regarding Kombucha, please contact us by email.

Yes, I know I put in a negative on the last link. I did it on purpose. Though I don't see the conclusive evidence in these cases. None the less, I believe you should be informed about the positve and the negative things said about whatever you are researching. |
