Apart from its appealing taste, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Kombucha-p-1-c-546.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kombucha<\/a> is an ancient health drink that has benefits for your health too.<\/p>\n<h2>WHAT EXACTLY IS KOMBUCHA?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Kombucha-p-1-c-546.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kombucha <\/a>is alive. It brims and fizzes gently as it brews, with living enzymes and probiotics. The traditional form of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Kombucha-p-1-c-546.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kombucha <\/a>is made using a tea base &#8211; black tea, green, tea, white tea &#8211; they all in themselves have powerful antioxidant properties too. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Kombucha-p-1-c-546.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kombucha<\/a> can also be made by adding more exotic things to the tea, such as fruit juices or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/dr-tom-s-kombucha-coffee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coffee<\/a>, for some refreshingly tasty variations. Next, sugar is mixed into the tea \u2013 but don\u2019t panic, the end result is not as sugary as you may suspect.<\/p>\n<p>The magic part that turns the tea into a yummy elixir is created by a thing with the endearing name of a SCOBY \u2013 this stands for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeasts. The SCOBY is added to the tea and feeds off the sugar. That\u2019s where the sugar goes \u2013 by the time the SCOBY has done its thing there is very little of the sugar left. The SCOBY looks like a white rubbery pancake that sits on top of the Kombucha, or may drift down and float in the tea.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\u00a0WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?<\/h2>\n<p>This drink is so ancient its exact origins are hazy, but it\u2019s thought to come from the Far East and the first recorded mention of its use is found in the Tsing Dynasty 221 BC. It was known as the <em>Tea of Immortality,<\/em> now that&#8217;s enough to get one&#8217;s interest going! There is a story of a Korean physician called Kombu successfully using it to treat an emperor and hence the name <em>Kombu<\/em> added to <em>cha<\/em> which means<em> tea<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Its use spread to various European countries over the centuries and it came to more mainstream attention again when Dr Rudolph Skelnar from Germany used it to treat cancer patients, metabolic disorders, high blood pressure and diabetes, just after the war. These days Kombucha is gaining renewed respect as we realise just how far from our traditional culinary wisdom we have strayed, and the negative effect that has had on our wellbeing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\u00a0WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?<\/h2>\n<p>Because it is alive with cultures and bacteria, Kombucha has a natural fizz, as opposed to the artificially created version of carbonated soft drinks. The fizz is soft and effervescent and the taste can vary from a cider to champagne-like flavour, depending on what is used to make it. It has a very slight, pleasant sweetness, as a remnent from the digested sugar. As Kombucha has gained in popularity, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Kombucha-p-1-c-546.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new and delicious variations<\/a> have been explored and enjoyed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\u00a0WHAT&#8217;S HEALTHY ABOUT IT?<\/h2>\n<p>As the SCOBY digests the sugar, it gives off all sorts of by-products that are amazing for your health such as organic acids that are powerful detoxifiers, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics that keep you tummy flora healthy and in balance. As you well know, a healthy gut is central to your good health.<\/p>\n<h3>KOMBUCHA CAN:<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Protect you against stress<br \/>\n\u2022 Support a healthy liver. Some of the organic acids such as Glucuronic and Malic acids are powerful liver detoxifiers<br \/>\n\u2022 Up your energy levels, supporting those with chronic fatigue<br \/>\n\u2022 Alleviate allergies<br \/>\n\u2022 Improve arthritis<br \/>\n\u2022 Ease digestive issues \u2013 some of the organic acids break down into caprylic acid which is good for killing off candida overgrowth<br \/>\n\u2022 Regulates the acid-alkaline balance in your body with its lactic acid content<br \/>\n\u2022 Boost your immune system and support you with auto-immune illness and even HIV<br \/>\n\u2022 You can use it externally on your skin as a wash, for healthy radiant skin<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>These are just a few of the benefits<\/em>, Kombucha has been called an <em>adaptogen<\/em> because of its ability to balance endocrine hormones and the immune system.
