Kombucha elixir of health
The origin of the kombucha is glorified in mystery and many legends have been told about it. According to one legend, it was invented by a Chinese scientist looking for an elixir of longevity. According to other legends, the roots of kombucha reach back to ancient Egypt. What is clear is that the kombucha was here long ago and our ancestors knew its miraculous power.
The name Kombucha or Tibetan tea spondge suggests what this miraculous drink looks like. There is a spondge in the brown liquid on the surface, although the smell is not appealing, but its effects are so exceptional that millions of people in the world are drinking it. The US President Ronald Reagan was also treated with the Kombucha drink; you can also read about the healing effects in the book by the Russian writer Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
Kombucha has a sweet-sour taste and reminds us of the favorite half-fermented wine, but unlike it, Kombucha boasts super-beneficial effects on the human body. Kombucha can treat arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes and also relieves headaches.

Kombucha originated in Russia, where it was drank for centuries. It became more widely known only after 1945, when the number of cancer patients began to rise. At that time, doctors noticed that there were much lower rates of cancer in the two regions of the Midwest Urals. Two scientific groups were set up to explore the environment in these areas and unravel the mystery. However, they did not find any anomalies in the monitored areas and could not explain why in these two areas there are fewer sick people. The mystery was solved by chance. On one visit, when a doctor from the science team visited one of the families, he received an unknown drink from the old lady. The old lady told him how to prepare the drink and that every family in their area drinks it, as it is a tradition that lasts for centuries. According to legend, the Chinese gave the Russian tsar and his people the Kombucha spondge so that everyone could make a medicinal drink.
