An Introduction to Dit Da Jow
What is Dit Da Jow?
Chinese Dit Da Jow, roughly translated, means "hit fall wine." It is a created by soaking specific herbal blends in alcohol. Once it's aged enough, it's used as a liniment (something applied to skin for pain relief.)
The primary uses of Chinese Dit Da Jow are:
- Pain Relief
- Healing (bruises, strains, sprains, etc)
- Conditioning (strengthening the tissues affected by impact: skin, muscle, connective tissue, and bone.)
It has historically been used most widely by martial artists, but many athletes in other high contact sports have discovered its benefits, along with fitness enthusiasts who train intensely and want to be able to train more often without being sidelined by the effects of overtraining. These powerful formulas are not just for athletes anymore. Today, these products are used by the active and inactive, young and old across the many spectrums of life to manage pain and naturally support the body's healing from injuries.
How Does Dit Da Jow Work?
Chinese Dit Da Jow formulas are made from a carefully selected combination of potent herbal ingredients with synergistic properties. Two of the primary modes of action in authentic Dit Da Jow healing formulas are:- Reducing Inflammation (which is the cause of swelling, sensitivity, and decreased range of motion)
- Increasing Circulation (helps bring fresh healing nutrient and drive out stagnating fluid surrounding the injury)
There are many more possible effects from Dit Da Jow than just these two--it all depends on the formula.
How Do I Use Dit Da Jow?
- Cup your palm and drop a small amount in the center (usually less than a dropper)
- Deeply massage it into the skin, as though you are trying to push it through the skin and into the tissues below. Don’t merely spread it around like lotion.
- With very sensitive areas, begin gently and cautiously and slowly increase your application pressure.
- When the Jow is absorbed, repeat with a second application. Apply 3 times daily for best results
