Healing Benefits of the Ingredients

• Veda Warrior Infused Olive Oil: Olive oil is warming and lubricating, supporting joint health and skin clarity while aiding digestion. Infused with cannabis, it also provides anti-inflammatory, calming, and mood-supportive benefits. The fat content ensures optimal absorption of cannabinoids and fat-soluble nutrients.

• Balsamic Vinegar: Slightly sour and astringent, vinegar stimulates digestion and helps balance heavy or oily foods. It can also support blood sugar regulation.

• Honey: In moderation, honey acts as a gentle digestive aid and provides antimicrobial properties. It also harmonizes the flavors of the vinaigrette.

• Garlic: A well-known Ayurvedic remedy, garlic stimulates digestion, supports immune function, and helps clear stagnation. It adds warmth and grounding to the dressing.

• Dijon Mustard: Pungent and stimulating, mustard enhances digestive fire and supports metabolism, while also helping emulsify the vinaigrette.

• Sea Salt: Enhances flavor and helps the body retain essential minerals. In small amounts, it also supports healthy digestion.

• Black Pepper: Stimulates circulation and supports digestion. It also enhances the bioavailability of many nutrients and cannabinoids.
