Dit

normaly wouldn't the recipie only be handed down to a teachers best student on his death bed???.
Something is amiss, to say the least it should raise money for your school!.

Remember not to drink it, lol.

only use after conditioning, that is what you should be using it for?, i presume.

dit da jow`

hey,

i am a clf practitioner and the dit da jow we have has been passed down from professor who learned them from master yuen hai who was a direct student under jeong hung sing.

i have heard some dit da recipies have to ferment to be effective. but my sigung jew leong still makes the same recipie. he once told me that professor lau bun would sell his dit da jow to master ed parker for $500 a gallon. and he bought it! today i can get it for 70 bucks a gallon. it has very thick sediment and the liquid is forever dark. it is really good though. i once put a hickey on my girlfriends neck and it naturally took about a week to disappear. but when i did it again i used the dit da jow and it went away in 2 days.

if i may ask, what is the base of dit da jow mostly used by ma practitioners on this forum?
my sigung uses vinegar.

There are a very large variety of external bruise medicines and bone setting medicines. Dit Da jow, or iron hit wine has hundreds of different variations with fundamental base herbs within.

Generally, the base is alcohol, usually rice wine, sometimes straight grain alcohol and of course vinegar.

There are also Oil based Jows. But these are more ounguents and salves than they are liniments.
The alcohol and vinegar based are liniments used to heal bruises by preventing blood stasis and keeping blood flow to the damaged are flowing strongly. Thus the hematoma is reduced greatly and no internal scar tissue remains to cause you problems later in life when you age and experience cellular breakdown and the return to the earth.

Some of the older jows state that bone is required as an ingredient. Nowadays this is not required as calcium, kerratin and pottasium can be attained through other non-animal sources.

As for the secretiveness of sifus regarding "their" recipes, this probably has to do with all the people that used to sell jow much the way stores sell different types of aspirin.
An especially good jow could bring you a lot of money.

So, Sears doesn't tell J.C Penny their business now do they? :D

But lately, more people have been a little more altruistic about martial arts and all the things that come along with the practice. the Shaolin way is to teach one to heal as well as to destroy and thereby instilling balance in the practitioner.

The old saying is "If you can break someones arm, then you should be able to fix it too".

If all you are learning to do is the fighting aspects of a martial art, you are only getting half the lessons in other words. Especially in context to Shaolin training in Shaolin Rooted Styles.

peace

[B]Dale Dugas would be a good starting point...he's one of the most knowledgeable teachers regarding dit da jow on these forums. Also look in the Chinatown areas of large cities.

Hi,

Gum Gong doesn't post here anymore and the only way to get instructions for the jow he mentioned is through training. There are alot of jows on the open market you can try out like others have mentioned.

Dit Da Jow Recipe

I use cheap dark rum and it works great. I let my recipe sit in a cool dark place, tightly sealed, for 6 months. I had no problem filling the recipe at the herb store in Chinatown. Is there a Chinatown near where you live?

One has to be careful with going to any herb store in your local Chinatown as they might be importing herbs that not only are full of pesticides and other nasty chemicals but could be full of heavy metals.

There seems to be a lack of quality control on the mainland and it creeps into other sectors of certain businesses. I would suggest making sure that the herbs you are getting are tested by an outside source.

Kamwo Herbs in NYC goes out of their way to get cleaner herbs and tests them as well.

There are others are well.

FYI.
