The acidity of Kombucha, solid culture and all is extremely friendly to the mantle of acidity surrounding the human organism. You can also use Kombucha in all its forms as skin/hair conditioner, make pureed scoby cream (looks and feels and even tastes like apple sauce :-) and rub yourself down with a delicious mother scoby - no rinsing necessary! Kombucha is anti-inflammatory, anti-bad bacteria and anti-fungal infections. It is an altogether beneficial life-form! If you look in the files of the Kombucha (the list you are subscribed to) you will find lots of details on Kombucha use.

Mhhh! :-) > anyone ever eaten it? Oh yes, especially when I haven't been well. Scoby is super-concentrated Kombucha goodness. I would recommend chewing it in small pieces - very lemony.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Thanks Margaret, I've just begun to use diluted apple cider vinegar as a hair rinse, and a skin rinse as well, so it's not really a stretch, if I think about it that way, to use it for hair and skin. This thread makes me take a step I've been loathe to take: grind up a mother. I have to think about them differently. Many years ago, the first time I began to interact with kombucha, I just kept making kombucha, giving each new scoby its jar, until I had a whole genealogy, all named, many generations. I was fascinated but couldn't make myself drink the brew. I could imagine one of those growing inside me in a big block. I finally had a big party/(free) yard sale and gave them all away. >>>drinking the brew was exactly what I needed to be doing at the time, too. Amazing how we can lead ourselves to water, but then refuse to drink<<<<<<<< I had to get into making kefir and cultured vegetables before I came back to kombucha...or rather, it came back to me. A stranger brought me one. It was time. I've also made scobys from GT Dave's delicious drink. I've given away all the new scobys I can now, and I have many batches brewing, so it's time to take that next step. OK......just so long as it doesn't scream when I blend it. I'll try it. I really don't know why I have this trepidation. I can whip up herbal preparations out of anything else, but these beings, like the kefir starter (mine are big ball shapes with fluted surfaces, like something that might find growing on a coral reef) are, well, beings. I'm having the same trouble with pulling a kefir ball apart, or whipping one up to start something new. I'm not one to anthropomorphize anything. I'm not a vegan. I'm not timid. That's not what is going on. It's more a kind of reverence that in spite of all of the poisoning of pesticides, and the malleus maleficarum, and modern medicine, these life forms have survived, and thrive, in a symbiotic relationship with humans. {Thank you very much...Now I grind you up!}......it's hard to do. It's really a conceptual dilemma, and I need to reframe in order to grind. Maybe thinking of transformation will help. (Yeah, I know, stop thinking so much and just do it!) I feel like I aught to have some words to say to it before I pop it in the blender, at the very least. (I know...I tire myself out with these conundrums, and this is a strange sort of introduction.) Thank you for your encouragement to....go beyond...... Some traditional cultures put their old people out to die under a tree. Maybe it's ok to turn an old mother into a skin cream. It's a big step to contemplate, but so was drinking the brew in the first place.

What an excellently written piece. I loved reading it :-)) Maybe, for me it's never been a grind to grind because I never called the cultures 'mother'. I think, if I had, I most likely would have experienced that same trepidation of causing scobicide. The comforting thing is, that in the case of Kombucha, even a liquidised scoby/mother/culture will spring back to full scobyhood and cultural identity - this, of course does not work with frogs or other organisms that have been seriously disorganised, even though all the components are still there. ;-O Thanks for your stimulating response, Margret:-) UK -- +------------------ Minstrel@... --------------------+ <)))<>< http://www.therpc.f9.co.uk <)))<>< http://www.AnswersInGenesis.com +----------------- http://www.Gotquestions.org ------------------+ We learn to pray by praying.
