Re: Confessions of a Newbie+ Blood Pressure, Hawthorn and home made funnels

Hi Tiff,

It doesn't seem to effect the scoby except to make it grow faster. I

think it likes the vit C or something. It also makes it fizzy faster.

I just started some yesterday and it is already bubbling today. Go

figure. Maybe it is because I use the bottom 1/5 of the my last brew

and it probably has yeast down there. Oh yes, your scoby will be pink

but other than that it works fine. Sunny

tried adding hibiscus, lemon peel, and ginger. However I add it when

I go to bottle. I put it in for 24 hrs and let it sit on the counter.

Then I remove the cheesecloth pouch and put it in the fridge, ready

to consume. Am I doing it right? It does taste good but I love the

taste of KT.

I have used rootbeer flavoring when I bottle and it is fun and

different. But everybody seems to love the Hibiscus tea. Sunny

seems to remove the vinegar taste and once again makes it a very

pleasant healthy drink.

Hi Zoe,

Can you tell us how much you use and to what size container you add it

to? Many thanks, Sunny

Hi and EveryOne,

There is a list of the benefits people have experienced with Kombucha

here:

Of course your own experience is the most meaningful to you:-))

Go by how you feel!

Peace, Love and Harmony,

all I seem to know is when I drink it I FEEL GOOD. On the days I

perk it is so much fun!!!

Hi and EveryOne,

On the list homepage there is a FILES section link on the left side of

the page. If you click on that link you will see lots of folders with

files about Kombucha in them. Click on the one that says Kombucha

Threads and inside you will find a thread about Candida. There are

posts from list members describing how they used Kombucha to deal with

their Candida. Most of them used Kombucha more on the acidic/sour side

rather than sweet.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

> I have systemic candida. I am really battling with it right now.

The sugar cravings are more that I am able to withstand. I am

drinking 10 oz of KT a day. Do you think if I up the amount it would

help. So far the only candida symptoms are dry skin and the sugar

craving. My cravings are at the highest they have ever been. Do you

have any thoughts? What were your candida symptoms?

> I am still working on using the KT for more than drinking. Can't

imagine using some for cleaning right now. Way to precious. Hope to

have the abundance to use it for more than drinking. Do you use the

scoby, like the post suggests, or just KT for the skin?

Hey Zoe,

Do you have recipes on how it did each of the above things? I mean

your house did not get cleaned by drinking KT? LOL Sunny

[Guest guest]

> Why strain?

When I am introducing and giving KT to family and friends, they might

be turned off by the things that grow in the tea. It doesn't bother me

but I don't want them turned off. LOL, Sunny

[Guest guest]

Thank you, just what I needed to hear. The intense cravings are the strong come

back of the candida. Probably because of the KT(die off of the candida). I

know the KT will be a big help when going back on my Candida diet. UGH did not

want to do that again but......here I go

LOL Funny girl.

My house got cleaned by utilizing the KT vinegar( you know the stuff that gets

overbrewed on occasion).

Recipes? NONE Just use your KT in very creative ways and you will fall

ever more in love with it.

As a hair rinse, bath rinse, douche, soak your tootsies in it, etc. Soak a

rag in it and wipe down your counters, cabinets, clean your windows. Im

sure there are many more uses just waiting to be discovered.

Hi Zoe and EveryOne,

One very important for Kombucha that everyone should know about is it

is helpful for burns...both the KT and the colony. You can pour KT

over a burn and then cover with the Kombucha Colony. Has been used in

Hospitals in Germany I read.

Kombucha is definitely one of the most healing foods I have every

discovered!
