Secret Strengthener of the Samurai!
Salty, slightly sweet, and VERY sour! Umebosh plum is not for the faint of heart. When you first bite in it may taste sweet but very quickly, the sour takes over- so BUCKLE UP.
Its restorative powers are due at least in part to the fact it is rich in the electrolytes sodium and potassium, which help fight fatigue, nausea and dizziness.
Worn out after your workout? With its ability in helping to break down and flush out lactic acid, one of the causes of physical fatigue you cant go wrong reaching for an Umeboshi plum.
Other great benefits noted about Umeboshi are the following
• beneficial for nausea
• motion sickness
• diarrhea
• constipation
• improving circulation
• boosting the immune system.
Culturally in Japan it is said that an Umeboshi a day keeps the doctor away.
Anything that can bring the Samurai back to life must have great benefit

Top Dawg
Sativa 60% Indica 40%. I like the ratios of Sative/Indica on this for revitalizing you. This will ease your mind, relax your muscles, and help with your appetite. The Samurai would definately have used Top Dawg given its traits!

All the best in health and a full life!
