A member asked:
I have recently discovered kombucha and was wondering what the benefits of it were?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: This is a type of tea brewed with numerous yeasts and bacteria, and it has not been shown to have any medical benefits. In fact, it appears to have more side effects than actual effects.
