Question 1

What is Dit Da Jow?

Accepted Answer

Dit Da Jow is a liniment which literally means 'fall and strike wine' made from Chinese herbs and soaked in alcohol. It is not for drinking however, only for external use. Dit Da Jow is a unique mixture of many aromatic herbs such as myrrh and ginseng, which are combined to stimulate circulation, reduce pain and swelling, and improve healing of injuries. Different types of Jow can be made from different combinations (recipes) of herbs. Iron Palm jow for example contains herbs specifically to strengthen the skin, connective tissue and toughen bones.

Question 2

Where are the herbs from and how is the liniment (Dit Da Jow) made?

Accepted Answer

All herbs are authentic whole herbs imported from China and the United States. The herbs are placed in a glass jar with about 5 litres of 95% proof alcohol, which is needed for the extraction of the healing compounds. The concoction is agitated daily for about a month, then weekly for about a year before the Jow can be used.

Question 3

How strong are Red Chi Liniments?

Accepted Answer

Our 'Nine Tiger' Dit Da Jow liniment for example uses over 1 kilogram of the 35 different Chinese herbs to produce 5 litres of liniment and takes around 2 years for full potency to occur. That is a massive amount of herbs and guarantees that Red Chi liniments are the best and most potent you can buy.

Question 4

Are there animal products in the Liniments?

Accepted Answer

The only liniment that contains animal products is the Ku Yu Cheung Iron Palm Liniment. All other liniments and oils are 100% plant material. None of these products were tested on animals, but they were all tested on me.

Question 5

Can I drink the Liniment (Dit Da Jow)?

Accepted Answer

NO! Absolutely not! This liniment is for external use only.

Question 6

How do I apply the IRON PALM liniment?

Accepted Answer

Use the Iron Palm Jow (liniment) by pouring a small amount (a capful) into your palm and rubbing it into the area you want to condition. eg hands, forearms etc.  Rub in before and after your training and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing your hands or showering so it can soak into the skin.

Question 7

Can the liniments be used by children?

Accepted Answer

Children have delicate skin and developing bones. Under the age of 16, general bruise healing liniments and muscles soreness should be healed using a non-alcohol based healing liniment, not the alcohol based Dit Da Jows. We recommend the Kutus Kutus Oil for healing bruises and muscle soreness in children. We do not recommend the practice of Iron Palm (or the use of Iron Palm liniments) for children under the age of 16. PLEASE KEEP ALL PRODUCTS OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Question 8

What if I have an allergic reaction?

Accepted Answer

If you suffer from allergies, you should apply a small amount to the skin and wait 24 hours to see if you have a reaction. If you have an allergic reaction, you should cease using the product immediately. There are no peanut products in any of the liniments.

Question 9

What if I experience skin irritation?

Accepted Answer

Because the extraction medium is 95% alcohol, the alcohol will possibly dry your skin out. This happens particularly during the winter time or sometimes with older folks  whose skin is not as thick as it used to be.  It is extremely important not to apply the Jow if you have scraped or broken the skin. Do not train to the point of breaking the skin because it will set your training back greatly as you will not be able to apply the jow.

If you get a rash, discontinue until the rash is gone, then gradually re-apply a little per day. Before going to bed in the evening, apply some skin moisturiser or a product called INVITE Vitamin E Oil which you can obtain from most chemists. It's an awesome product for repairing skin damaged by dryness or rash. I use it periodically with great results.

Question 10

Why do we use glass bottles?

Accepted Answer

We use glass bottles so the purity of the herbs is maintained and is not affected by the leaching of chemicals from plastic containers into the liniment.

Question 11

Do we accept returns?

Accepted Answer

If the tamper-proof seal is intact and the liniment is unused you can return it for a 100% refund.If the tamper-proof seal is broken, we cannot accept a return due to health reasons and the possible risk of contamination.

Question 12

Do we sell Wholesale?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For a minimum of 5 units we provide a wholesale discount. Postage is still applicable. This discount is available to therapists, masseurs, martial arts schools, gymnasiums, naturapaths.
