Dit Da Jow Natures First Aid

Summer has arrived and if you are active, it’s important to have Dit Da Jow, natures first aid  liniment close by. Accidents happen whether you are biking, running, working out at the gym or just taking it easy at home. If you have a first aid kit at home or in the car, Dit Da Jow, natures first aid liniment should be in there.

Dit Da Jow should be applied immediately after an injury and then intermittently until the injury is healed, Dit Da Jow can also be used in conjunction with ice therapy if necessary. It is the ideal first aid liniment for pain and bruising. The only time you should not use it is if you are pregnant or are on prescription blood thinners. You see, Dit Da Jow, natures first aid liniment can act as a mild blood thinner as it relieves blood stasis and stagnation helping to restore circulation and energy referred to in Chinese medicine as Qi.

 

Complimentary Natural First Aid Products

Besides Dit Da Jow, other complimentary natural first aid products should also be part of your first aid kit. Number two is Iron Palm liniment, this liniment is great for injuries to bones, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. Besides healing these areas it can be used for strengthening them. If you train or are involved in activities that require extensive repetitive movements then Iron Palm liniment should be part at your fingertips when needed.

Medicated Plasters

Having medicated plasters in your natural first aid kit can come in very handy when you twist or pull a muscle in your back or where you need constant healing herbal application and a little heat. When the skin is clean and dry ( shaven also helps) just apply so the plaster fits tight over the center of the injury, you can find the center by lightly pressing with your finger over the injury the most delicate area that you press would be your center point. The plasters will stay on for a few days even with showering, it is until your body’s natural oils are produced will they come loose. Of course  you can pull them off anytime you wish, we mentioned above that is it is helpful if the area is shaven since body hairs will stick to the plaster when removing.

 

Ching Wan Hung

Ching Wan Hung is a topical cream for burns and can also be used for eczema, psoriasis and bedsores. This cream is used in China’s hospitals for serious third degree burns and diabetic sores. It reduces the blistering and pain of a burn, promotes tissue regeneration, prevents scarring and prevents infection. This comes in a tube or small jar, I have seen it work wonders on burns and diabetic sores firsthand, this should be in everyone’s first aid kit.

 

Yunnan Pai Yao

Yunnan Pai Yao is an herbal powder that gained notoriety when it was discovered during the Viet Nam war that it was used by the North Vietnamese soldiers and applied to gunshot and open wounds, allowing them to keep fighting. It is amazing for stopping small wounds that are gushing blood. This also is called Yunnan Bai Yao in certain parts of China and Hong Kong and is also available in capsule form for internal injuries.

Chin Koo and Tieh Ta Wan

These two products are like taking an internal Dit Da Jow, they are recommended for serious internal injuries like bruised ribs, deep sprains and bone bruises. They work in conjunction with external applications of liniments to heal the injury from the inside and outside, they also help with stubborn troublesome injuries that seem to take forever to heal. Chin Koo is strictly internal and the Tieh Ta Wan is internal and external. We sometimes refer to Tieh Ta Wan as Dit Da Jow in a gumball since it resembles a small gumbali that can be eaten or soaked in alcohol an applied externally.
