I know ppl say that its unsafe. I’ve come across the Master Fu’s formulae which is supposed to be mild. is it safe?
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).
okay, wisea55. we all know you’re into that canadian weed herbalism cr4p. isn’t that snake oil? or is it some exotic weed-root extract that has an oriental sounding AD&D name?
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.
Friggin’ A, Jow has strychnine in it people. DON"T DRINK IT.
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.
that won’t be neccessary. thanks.
david jamieson: man, how painful this is: i agreed with you on another post today and now i’m apologising… :eek:

that’s just YOUR opinion. what about dragon’s blood ah. IMO Jow is like a strong rice wine. all in moderation is what I always say.
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.
Yes i guess it must be safe then. Maybe its a good way to strengthen those internal organs. Hey secret to internal kung fu IMO???
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.

But things that are good for you don’t usually taste good. isn’t that also true?
well when it comes to the bottle of kombucha, once its finished im moving back to my oolong and ginseng tea.

I can’t believe this thread has got any serious replies. You should try the photographer phist phite thread!
What’s ‘kombucha’? The only kombucha I know is Japanese, made of kombu (kelp) seaweed.
Heres a bit about it from a leaflet I have.
''Kombucha tea has been drunk for at least 2000 years and dates back to the Chinese Tsin Dynasty of 221 BC in Manchuria where the emperors believed it to be a sacred medicine, referring to it as ‘the elixir of long life’.
Kombucha tea is a fermented and oxidised fusion of tea and metabolised by kombucha culture: a continuously reproducing colony of friendly bacteria and split or fission yeasts, healthy acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.‘’
Basically of what I know it uses a type of green tea, different plant roots and mine is also mixed with ginger.

i was given one to quaff. it did have Psuedoginseng in it. but i’m not sure of dragon’s blood. it had a dirty water color. i made a kind of gravy to go over chicken out of it. sifu thinks it saved my life from him on a number of occasions… 
I’ve had some black zambuka the other day and though maybe jow taste the same.
