I've been into Kombucha for a while now. This fermented tea is a great natural probiotic. Its 'brewed' with a combination of naturally occurring bacteria and yeast that are beneficial to the digestive system. Unlike the yeasts we use these days to make beer, wine and bread which are not beneficial to the gut.
Kombucha is a refreshing delicious drink. I find it wonderful for a couple of things.
1. To combat sweet cravings
2. For when you get a thirst that seems impossible to quench - something I seem to get when detoxing. Somehow the kombucha does the trick. It doesn't stop the thirst but then when I drink water after the kombucha it hits the spot.
Kombucha is great for healing the gut and re-establishing your gut ecology, especially if you've been on anti-biotics or have candida issues. Similar pro-biotic foods include Sauerkraut and Kefir. In the USA it's fairly easy to get coconut kefir.
