Kombucha-22 Amazing Ways it Can Help Heal Your Life

So what is Kombucha?

Kombucha is a fermented tea an ancient elixir which has been consumed for over 2000 years all over the world, studied and applied for a number of medical uses in countries such as Russia, Germany and China. Kombucha is naturally carbonated and has a variety of healing properties. It’s totally natural and is filled with amino acids and probiotics, did you know the meaning of probiotic is ‘ for life ‘ and unlike antibiotics, probiotics re-establish the natural ecology of the intestinal flora and are said to boost immunity, enhance mood, fight allergies and detoxify and rid the body of disease.  Kombucha has an acquired taste which is very similar to vinegar and may be quite acrid for some people, however it’s pretty easy to get used to once you have started drinking it on a regular basis.

Preparing Kombucha takes time and patients. Creating the correct temperatures, following stricked hygiene so the tea doesn’t become contaminated. When I began to make the tea I invested in a Kombucha heater. If you’re serious about making your own brew rather than purchasing it commercially then I’d advice you to invest in a Kombucha heater. This keeps the tea consistently warm which is a vital part of the fermenting process especially if you live in a country where the temperatures vary considerably. Once I began brewing I became the Kombucha queen. I had a never ending supply of Kombucha cultures (also known as scobys) so many I couldn’t give them away.

What??? No Cake???

Post Venus transit and full moon it seemed the perfect time to tune into the Borage flower (also known as starflower) and make an essence.

Borage/Starflower oil is often used to regulate the female hormones in a very similar way to the Evening Primrose. However these little stars are also a connection for us between heaven and earth, keeping us balanced which is always kinda nice. Borage also helps skin conditions and encourages us to shake off those niggling aspects of life that just wont shift. This Essence has a magical energy.
