Instructions

• 1

  Obtain a starter mushroom from another Kombucha user. There is a list of advocates available online that will give away starters to new users. If a donor is not available, get a start by purchasing from a mail order supplier.

• 2

  Grow your own mushroom from the starter. It is necessary to maintain multiple mushrooms in various stages of growth to have a supply of the tea available at all times.

• 3

  Consume at least 4 oz. of tea per day. Many advocates use more than this amount but seldom do they exceed 2 cups per day. Don't consume too much at the start of the treatment to avoid temporary side effects. Begin with a small quantity and build up over the period of a week to 10 days.

• 4

  Drink Kombucha tea to dissolve gallstones. There are scientific studies from Prague that show that the glucon acid present in the tea can dissolve gallstones.

• 5

  Take the tea to aid in the treatment of asthma. The tea is more effective than the Interferon product used by some, without the side effects found with Interferon.
