Is the Elixir of Long Life our Fountain of Youth?
Kombucha tea is an amazing brew that you can purchase or make at home. Back in the Chinese Empire of 200 BC Kombucha was known as the Elixir of Long Life.
Documented for over two thousand years, the name Kombucha originates in Korea. A medicine man named Kombu treated the emperor with what is known know as Kombucha tea. Over the centuries this elixir of life has spread worldwide.
What exactly is Kombucha? It’s often referred to as a mushroom, but it isn’t. It’s just a symbiotic relationship between beneficial bacteria and yeast that create a culture that looks a little like a spongy cake.
How do we benefit from Kombucha tea? One of the best known qualities is the detoxifying assistance given to the liver through Kombucha tea. The alkaline levels of the body are also restored as the body is brought back into balance.
Our digestion is aided by the probiotic qualities of Kombucha. We need our healthy flora to digest, and Kombucha does not interfere with that process. Kombucha even restores our metabolic balance.
This pH restorative drink has been honored for its positive affect on arthritis and rheumatism and skin conditions such as acne. This elixir of long life has been studied for its benefits in the treatment of cancer and tumors.
Nothing could be easier than adding a little Kombucha into your daily diet. Even our pets health can improve too, and many pets drink this elixir quickly once they feel the restoring benefits. Over time one thing is for sure, Kombucha tea continues to be a healthy, nutritious beverage.
