Later, while working with Kombucha cultures, I noticed a recurrence of some of the rash I experienced from the poison oak. Not as bad, but still a bit itchy. These symptoms would emerge and recede, and each time, they would be a little less intense until eventually they disappeared altogether. What I realized over time was that the Kombucha culture had literally sucked those toxins out of my body, and while the healing process involved a little discomfort, those poisons are now gone forever instead of lingering in my body dragging me down a little at a time That's an example of dramatic and obvious detoxification, but most of the time the Kombucha detox is not seen but only felt in the form of a headache, body aches, sore throat or any number of mild reactions that are typical of a Herxheimer Reaction.
