Kombucha is a refreshing, effervescent fermented tea that has therapeutic and restorative properties for the body. Kombucha is produced using a SCOBY, an acronym for symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. This simply means that the bacteria and yeast exist together in a supportive network. The SCOBY feeds on the sweet tea and produces a wide range of beneficial compounds. These compounds all play an important role in our body’s metabolism, the task of accelerating the chemical process within the body.
Every batch of kombucha is different and contains various levels of probiotics, enzymes and amino acids. However, there are three components in every batch of this special tea: gluconic acid, acetic acid and fructose.
Other benefits of kombucha are its anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Within 7-8 day growth, it can also produce a natural antibiotic called meduzin, which many say has a healing effect in just 5 days.
Kombucha enhances the activity of the gastrointestinal tract. It normalizes the acidity of the stomach and suppresses decay-causing microflora and restores the intestinal tract with beneficial microflora. It helps to combat constipation and kidney stones and lowers blood pressure. It assists in decreasing cholesterol in blood and can relieve insomnia and arthritic pain.
