Chinese Remedy For Bruises

The Chinese remedy for bruises is called Die Da Jiu which loosely translated means fall/strike wine. It is also referred to as Dit Da Jow in many parts of the world. This Chinese remedy for bruises consists of a combination of Chinese herbs soaked in rice wine or other spirits for a month or longer, after this maceration process the liquid is applied to the injured area to heal the bruised area, in some cases bruises and painful sprains have been healed in less than 48 hours. Although this seems hard to believe this liniment has been used successfully for over a thousand years healing a variety of injuries.

How It Works

Dit Da Jow works using the unique combination of herbs that work together to unblock what is referred to as blood stagnation and blood stasis.These herbs can have up to four categories in which they work, there is the Chief herb, the Deputy herbs, the Assistant herbs and the Envoy herbs. They all work together in a synergistic manner to create a powerful liniment to heal bruises.

We all know a bruise is a skin injury that causes discoloration of the skin, what we refer to as black and blue marks. Blood from damaged blood cells deep beneath the skin collects near the surface causing this discoloration. Bruises occur when the soft tissues of the body get whacked, when they do, small veins and capillaries, the very small blood vessels under the skin break which results in a bruise. The Chinese refer to this as blood stagnation or painful obstruction. The vital energy of life the Chinese refer to as Qi is considered blocked or stagnated. This results in pain and in some cases swelling. The herbs used in Dit Da Jow unblocks the Qi and moves the blood by healing the veins and capillaries quickly.

Besides bruises Die Da Jiu is used for sprains, muscle soreness, strains and a variety of trauma injuries.This unique Chinese remedy for bruises has had a long history of being used by Shaolin Monks close to a thousand years ago for treating injuries caused by the hard training they did. This bruise remedy allowed them to heal fast and train hard.

How To Make it

Making this Chinese remedy for bruises is very easy and not expensive, all that is needed is the Dit Da Jow herb pack, a glass jar and alcohol preferably vodka or gin. Rubbing alcohol cannot be used as it can create toxicity in the body with extensive use. The next step is rather simple, you just add the herbs into the glass jar then add the alcohol, now just seal up the jar and shake. You can create a strong bruise remedy by shaking the jar twice a day for a minute or so for 30 days. After 30 days you can start using.

How To Apply

You can apply the Dit Da Jow several ways, most people just pour a quarter size amount into the palm of their hands and rub on the injured area, several times a day. You can also use a cotton ball to apply or even a folded paper towel, some consumers use a roller ball applicator to apply. The key is to apply so the area is saturated but not so much that it is dripping. Then you let it air dry and if you wish you can repeat. In a few hours you repeat the process.

Internal Die Da Jiu

Besides the external liniment which is the most popular Chinese remedy for bruises, there are internal herbal formulas based on Traditional Chinese Medicine aka TCM. Ancient Chinese herbalists call it Die Da Wan or translated in English means the “Trauma Pill”. These formulas are generally used for internal injuries that are way below the surface and can be used in conjunction with an external liniment. One popular formula that is classified as a Chinese Patent Formula is called Chin Koo.
