Healing Benefits of the Ingredients
Veda Warrior Infused Olive Oil
Olive oil is known in Ayurveda for its lubricating and warming qualities that support digestion and joint health. When infused with cannabis, it provides anti-inflammatory benefits and can help calm the nervous system. Cannabis in small doses supports mood stability and appetite regulation while reducing internal heat and tension.
Cucumber
Cucumber is deeply hydrating and cooling—an ideal food during the warmer months or for those experiencing excess internal heat. In Ayurveda, it’s known to pacify the fiery energies that can lead to inflammation or irritability.
Greek Yogurt
Rich in probiotics, yogurt supports digestive health and immunity. Its grounding and nourishing qualities can help restore balance in those with excess dryness, anxiety, or overactivity.
Lemon Juice
Lemon awakens digestive fire without overheating the system. It also assists with cleansing the liver and supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Garlic
Garlic is considered a potent natural medicine in both Ayurveda and Western herbalism. It stimulates digestion, improves circulation, and helps reduce inflammation. It’s especially helpful for clearing stagnation and supporting immunity.
Mint
Mint cools and soothes the digestive tract. It’s used in Ayurveda to relieve nausea, reduce bloating, and clear the mind. It’s also considered helpful for calming excess emotional heat or tension.
