Can I take Kombucha continuously or do I need to take an occasional break?
A It is wise, as with all kinds of medication and supplements, to take a break from Kombucha periodically. Otherwise the body can become too dependent on it and may begin to lose its effectiveness. We recommend that you leave off taking Kombucha for a week at least every 2-3 months. Some people decide to take one week off every month or one month off in every six. Choose whatever feels right for you – but remember it is important to take a break. One word of caution: If you are ill, or there is an imbalance, you may want to take a break 6-9 months after starting to take Kombucha. If you take a break too soon, you may experience a return of your symptoms. If you notice only a slight setback when you stop taking Kombucha tea, you will probably decide to continue with the break, but make it shorter at the beginning and build up on this over a period of time. So, be guided by your overall health and stability, and use your intuition and commonsense to decide how and when to take your break
