Need to heal from GMO damage? Kombucha has many healing properties. Fermented tea known as kombucha has been rapidly growing in popularity among health food lovers. But it's actually been around for thousands of years. As GMOs and their associated herbicides have been linked to kidney and liver toxicity as well as a myriad of other health problems, Kombucha may help with the healing process related to many of these problems. It's best to use kombucha in moderation to begin (four to eight ounces a day), even though the bottle may recommend a full 16 ounces per day. And at almost four dollars a bottle, many people may want to keep their intake moderate.
Another reason to start slowly is that kombucha has a detoxifying effect. If the liver is not functioning properly, it can be overwhelmed by the toxins being released. This may be why some people report an allergic reaction to the tea. For that reason, some experts recommend drinking plenty of water while taking kombucha to help flush toxins from the body.
If you are tempted to make your own kombucha, educate yourself first and follow instructions carefully, including using clean equipment, correct temperatures and glass containers.
Kombucha is not a drug but a traditional drink with many health-promoting properties. As with all foods, moderation is key. It's important to listen to your own body to determine whether it is a good choice for you.
