Millions of people all over the world have discovered a remarkable healing drink that they can easily make in their own homes at virtually no cost. How? From a friendly 'culture' (fungus) called Kombucha which, when brewed with tea and sugar, is transformed into a refreshing, nutritious beverage containing healthful organic acids, vitamins, enzymes and minerals.This authoritative handbook: explains how the culture works; provides detailed answers to more than a hundred commonly-asked questions; presents in-depth case histories which gives a complete A-Z of illnesses treatable with Kombucha; and, includes Kombucha's applications for - recipes, for beauty, with animals, in the garden, and all around your home. Widely recognised as a self-empowering way to gaining better health, Kombucha therapy: detoxifies the body and improves liver function; balances metabolism and cleanses the blood; strengthens the immune system, preventing disease; aids digestion and elimination; reduces the suffering of M.E. and arthritis; relieves symptoms of eczema and asthma; and, improves energy and nutrition for all the family.The Kombucha culture reproduces itself after each fermentation, allowing its health-giving benefits to be networked and freely passed on to friends and family.
