Only one way to find out...Drink the bottle. If you keep posting on the forum it was safe. If you don't...well you get the idea.

tieh tah yao gin is jao made for bruised internal bowels and organs.

there is a high level of dragons blood in it and no poisonous substances.
You can buy it over the counter in small bottles.

It is bitter as he11 and is better served in a draught (not beer) by adding a few ml to a cup of hot water.

no.
jow made for external use contains herbs that are toxic when taken internally. You could make yourself pretty sick.

If you think you require herbal supplements, go see a TCM practicioner.

The jow that we use is three parts: two external and one internal. Since I've been drinking it for a while now, It is safe to drink (at least for short-term health).

Dragon's Blood is the sap of a Chinese dragon tree. it's used in Iron hand jows, but I don't remeber it's function. Which is sad because it is in mine too...

I have it all written down though, i will look it up later if you like.

I take a couple of internal wines regularly, but they are made specifically for that purpose. One of the ones I use actually has most of the ingredients of one of my external Jows, but I wouldn't drink anything unless it was designed for internal consumption.

I have a jow that I think is safe, but I have to check the ingredients. 98% of the ingredients are in our internal formula too. I am not sure about Psuedoginseng and Dragon's Blood only. Psuedoginseng is used as a topical anti-inflamatory to reduce swelling I think. Dragon's Blood stimulates circulation and is part of the formula that dispells bruising.

If you can take Those two internally, then you can drink our formula.

Well I just started drinking this stuff called Kombucha that I got off my sifu. All I can say is it tastes like ****.

Thats only got green tea and ginger in it, yet it still tastes nasty.....so anything with dragon blood etc sounds way dodgy. Reminds me of being in thailand with all the snake blood drinks.
