Bruise Liniment For 2024

Looking for a bruise liniment that works in 2024? Well the best type of liniment is something called Dieda Jiu in China and most commonly referred to as Dit Da Jow in the USA. Loosely translated as hit/fall medicine, meaning if you get get a trauma type injury from falling or getting hit by something, this is the medicine to use.

We do not call it medicine as it is not prescribed by a doctor but we call it a over the counter liniment. The bruise liniment for 2024 consists of a variety of Chinese herbs that are soaked in alcohol like Vodka, NOT rubbing alcohol because that can be toxic with overuse. Over a period of time generally 4 weeks minimum, this bruise liniment is ready and can be applied on injuries like bruises or sprains.

Bruise Liniment In Action

You apply this bruise liniment on your bruise and instantly it starts breaking up the bruise by opening up blocked blood flow referred to as blood stagnation and blood stasis. Most Dit Da Jow bruise liniments do not get hot after being applied unlike lets say Tiger Balm which many have used and can get hot, same goes for Zheng Gu Shui which can get hot after application. Dit Da Jow on the other hand is more neutral in its properties so you do not feel the heat. This makes sense as you should not apply heat to a fresh injury, but a cold pack is recommended as it helps prevent additional swelling.

Best Bruise Liniment in 2024

The best bruise liniment in 2024 is one that consists of at least 14 Chinese Herbs and soaked in alcohol preferably not more than 40% alcohol 80 proof. When the alcohol content is too high it evaporates quickly not allowing the bruise liniment to be absorbed into the skin. 14 herbs or more is preferred as this allows the proper combination of herbal properties that each herb possesses, thus giving you a very powerful healing liniment.

One of the best bruise liniments is the Shaolin version called Shaolin Tieda Yao Xiang Jing, this liniment consists of 17 Chinese Herbs and is available as a herb pack so you can make it at home or can be purchased already made and in four ounce glass bottles.

Bruise Liniment Herb Packs

Bruise liniment herb packs are a very economical way to get a large batch of liniment at a low price per ounce. All that is needed is three things.

1. Herb Pack
2. A glass jar with an airtight lid at least one gallon or larger in size.
3. Vodka or Gin 40% alcohol 80 proof.

Most herb packs will produce a gallon of liniment so getting the right size jar is important. Using a jar too small will not allow you to make the proper amount of liniment. If you have an herb pack that can produce one gallon of liniment (128oz) and you use a one gallon glass jar you will not be able to produce a full gallon of liniment since the herbs take up space in the jar thus preventing you to use a gallon of alcohol, so please keep that in mind.

This is not a major issue because even though you are making less liniment it will be a little more concentrated. But if you want to make the full gallon purchase a 5 liter jar and this will allow you to make the full gallon.

When making the bruise liniment at home you will save in the long run if you anticipate using the liniment long term, which many people do as we and are family and friends all gets bumps and bruises time to time. Most high quality ready made liniments are in the $40-$50 dollar range for a four ounce bottle. Lets breakdown the approximate costs to make at home:

1. Glass Jar $15.00
2. Vodka 5.25 liters $35.00
3. Herb Pack $50.00

This totals  $100.00, now divide this by 128 ounces which is one gallon and you end up with .78 cents per ounce. This is an illustration of the cost savings by making at home. The costs mentioned above can be higher or lower depending on where you live. You might even have a jar already making the cost savings even better.

Ready Made Bruise Liniment

Now if you just want to purchase a bottle and not make a gallon nothing wrong with that, the most important thing to know is:

1. Never purchase bruise liniment in a plastic bottle.
2. Make sure you purchase from a well established company as there a lot of new online stores selling inferior products.
3. Make sure you are purchasing a bruise liniment and not a liniment for bone or tendon healing as they are different but are sold as a bruise liniment.
