My Experience with Kombucha Tea

So I first saw Kombucha Tea at an organic grocery store, and was compelled to try it.  With a stomach ache from the food I just ate, and no available green tea, I desperately needed to drink something to settle me down. One bottle of Kombucha later, my stomach ache was gone!

Believe it or not, I thought only green tea could do the trick but this Organic Raw Kombucha stuff proved me wrong. After that inceident I became a firm believer of Kombucha just like my other favorite elixirs. I was reading that it contains Probiotics which is actually "GOOD" bacteria. Yeah, we all know when people talk about "bacteria" it's usually the bad kind but these help your body instead of harm it.This beneficial bacteria can also be found in foods such as yogurt, cottage cheese, kefir.

How Much Kombucha?

Begin by drinking only a few ounces of kombucha tea a day and see how your body reacts to it. You may experience some side effects such as, small skin rash, gurgling of the stomach, and cold/flu symptoms. These side effects are Not very common. If you experience any of these simply adjust the amount of kombucha and let your body adjust.

To be able to notice a difference from drinking kombucha, you must detoxify your body by building up the amount of kombucha in your body which is about 4 ounces per day. It is recommended to drink your first cup of kombucha in the morning on an empty stomach, followed by kombucha with meals later in the day.
