    Default Kombucha tea for hair growth

    Yes. I started using kombucha for other reasons. I had never measured or photographed my hair before joining LHC, and have only been a member for a couple of months, so can't really say for sure. However, I can't explain why my hair would have started to grow all of a sudden. I worked up to drinking one pint a day, now make my own to save money. I was amazed when I saw how much length I had gained, plus wonderfully soft and moist skin.

    I think it would work about like apple cider vinegar as a rinse, but you would have to experiment on what dilution to use. I have used it as a scalp and skin wash as well. I love the stuff.

    I drink Kombucha when I feel pretty crummy or if I think a cold is coming on since it helps boost immunity. I usually drink it for about a week, so I don't know if it's done anything to my hair. I might have to start drinking it more often to see.

    I've also heard about something called "redbush tea".
    I think there was even a thread on it here...very recently, lol.

    I have tried Kombucha a few times and had to stop. It made my heart act funny.
    Change is the only constant.

    No clue, but it was clearly the kombucha. So yeah, after trying it half a dozen times over the years, I gave up.

    I use it for detoxification. I could only tolerate about two teaspoons at a time when I started using it, so it was a few months before I was using a pint a day.

    It wouldn't surprise me that taking kombucha internally would increase hair growth. I don't know about using it externally on the hair itself. Kombucha is just so wonderful for overall health, I can see it restoring and improving any of the body's functions necessary for healthy hair growth.

    I knew a vegan who swore by kombucha to cure his hangovers. Despite the weekend drinking, he was the healthiest man I've ever known. (Then, maybe, "indirectly BECAUSE OF his weekend drinking". . . .)
    Any time is a good time for coffee time!

    That's interesting Ravenreed because I can definitely feel the kombucha doin it's thing the moment I start drinking it - sometimes it's quite intense to the point where I can't handle it. I've learned to treat it as a medicine.
