Bearing in mind I am writing from England, where can I get some Dit Da Jow?
Online? Or maybe I can make some? I have a recipie (in Chinese) in The Art Of Shaolin Kung Fu by Wong Kiw Kit. Anybody managed it?
Does the stuff work? The reason I ask is because I bruise my knuckles (I think) whenI work on the heavy bag, even though I use wraps AND mitts. They hurt when I put pressure on them. Sounds like bruising to me. Do you think I could be causing any permanent damage?
The herbs can be obtained from www.baldwins.co.uk who do a good home delivery service.
The Herb ‘Breadtstraw’ is called ‘Ladies bedstraw’ in the UK. Camomile is spelt differently (Chamomile), The stinging nettles are just ‘nettles’ and the common moss is ‘irish moss’.
It costs around £15 for all the herbs (which is drastically less than the usual Chinese herbs) plus the price of a couple of bottles of Vodka.
I’ve made some and it works well.
Hope this is of help.
Regards
Dave F.

I’m not a Pom (from Oz.. it’s a friendly term for the most part) so I cannot give you any references to places to buy. I can, however, say that Dit Da Jow can work very well, if you get the right stuff.
I’d be a bit worried if I was bruising my knuckles on a heavy bag. I use a heavy bag, and I don’t bruise my knuckles too easily on it.
Thought to ponder: How long have you been training? Could this perhaps be a factor?

Yeah I’ve only had the bag for about 1.5 months, so maybe thats it. My knuckles bleed on pads as well, so maybe my hands are just not used to the impact.
Don’t put the jow on open wounds. Not only are many recipies poisonous, but all recipies will inhibit the healing of cuts. They kind of act like a meat tenderizer. Great for bruising, bad for cuts.

If you pr!ck us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that the villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. MOV
Let me know how I can be of service to you and to anyone else interested in learning how to utilize chinese herbs to help with injuries and conditioning.
Hi I have some Dit Da Jow and some herbs + formulas if you or anyone else you know maybe interested. I’ve got several different bottled formulas that I got from Shen Martial Arts. They have a website and an ebay shop. They’re in the USA.
The prices of what I have can be seen on the Shen site along with the more expensive Priority shipping which can add loads onto anything. I think they only ship via Priority.
The difference here is that I’d ship from the Uk so those Priority shipping rates wouldn’t apply. This would suit anyone better who was in the Uk or Europe.
Yau Kun Mun £11
Wong Fei Hung’s £7.50
Ku Yu Cheong’s £7.50
Grandmaster Tak Wah Eng’s £9.50
Brian Gray’s £7.50
Chan Ning Kong £9.50
Choy Li Fut Iron Palm jow £9
Shin Lien Chi Tie Bi Tang - Golden Lotus £7.50
All the above jows are 4 oz / 125 ml bottles unopened, brand new and sealed never been used.
I got them from www.shenmartialarts.com. The price is there as well as the shipping amount. It’s quite expensive shipping from them as it’s via Priority. Anyway if you want to see all the info go to the site, then the store then the bottled jow part.
I’d do any shipping as cheaply as possible basically at cost. They are glass and liquid items but I would do my best to make the shipping as cheap as possible. Of course I would protect them well. This will be a lot cheaper than shipping from the states which is a killer via Priority as on the Shen site.
I also have some Chinese herbs and formulas if you’re into any of that.
Email me at liverpoolsale@hotmail.co.uk if you’re interested in any of the above items as well as some herbs that I have as well.
Just reply to this if you want or send me a message.
I realise I’m new to this forum so there maybe doubts about if I’m trying to do a scam. I maybe a ******* at times, but not that much of a ******* to try to pull that. I would hate that if someone did that to me.
