Kombucha - delicious probiotics! (Part 5)

Hi fellow Steemians / Natural medicine enthusiasts,

It’s been quite a while since my last edition of my Kombucha post. It’s been a very busy couple months at work. One of the important things we have to make sure though no matter how busy we can get is to not fall into the much advertised easy American way of eating; synthetic chemicals, GMO’s, pesticide laden ingredients and a long list of other undesirables in our food and drink. It’s easy and convenient to go in but it slowly ruins our body over time. One of the best ways I’ve been able to do this is eating clean but also drinking the proper nutrient dense and beneficial combinations via Kombucha and other liquids.

This weeks Kombucha flavor was a delicious cherry treat.

The ingredients in this version are powerhouses of nutrition! Cherry, hibiscus and elderberry are the main components besides the tea.

Cherry
Cherries are a delicious snack, petite but full of wonderful flavor. They are loaded with antioxidants, phytonutrients and beneficial flavonoids. My dad drinks tart cherry juice to help alleviate/prevent gout, which there’s more scientific research coming out that helps point to this assertion. I particularly enjoy a great batch of Rainier cherries, they are harder to find but well worth it! source

Hibiscus
Hibiscus is something I typically associate with tea since there’s usually some good herbal teas with hibiscus in it. This little flower is a great source of all kinds of benefits. People throughout the tropical regions of the world use it for a few great health benefits. In the African regions, people use it to maintain normal body temperatures, keep the upper respiratory system functioning well, maintain heart health and fluid circulation. In Europe, they used it for alleviating constipation, maintaining good circulation and improving sleep. source

Elderberry
Elderberry, one of the newer gems for our family. We were looking for a much more natural way to keep the children healthy and we stumbled upon this delicious little berry.
The berries are popular throughout the world , with used in Europe, the Americas and North East Africa. Historically, people have used elderberry to treat influenza, infection, sciatica pain, heart pain, nerve pain and used as a laxative and diuretic. source
We’ve used it mainly to treat colds and flu but like so many natural things in the world, there’s a litany of uses for it!

Have you enjoyed any Kombucha lately? Let me know! I’d like to make my own but these tasks are on the back burner until I work less, which is hopefully coming in the near future!
