Anhui Iron Palm Soak
What is a Iron Palm Soak?
Iron Palm is term attributed to the Shaolin Temple where the monks practiced their martial art and one aspect of their training was the conditioning of the hands, wrist and forearms to the point that they could break bricks, coconuts and other hard objects as a way of demonstrating there power and hand conditioning.
To achieve this they practiced by striking bags filled with sand or beans and eventually iron pebbles. Unfortunately with this practice the hands and wrists were often sprained or injured, thus preventing training and conditioning.
To speed up recovery and help in the prevention of future injuries they used a special herbal soak prior to and after training. This herbal soak was used 24 to 36 hours after the swelling went down if any.
The herbal soak immediately unblocks blood stagnation and reduces pain. In Chinese Medicine blood stagnation prevents healing and creates pain due to the blockage of Qi. Unblock the Qi and the healing begins.
To use the Iron Palm Soak all you need is to heat the herbs in about a quart of water on your stove. Heat up the Iron Palm Soak until the water begins to boil, turn off the heat and pour the Soak in a container large enough so that you can immerse your hand and wrist into comfortably. The key is to place your hand in the Iron Palm Soak when it is hot but not to hot as to burn yourself.
When the Iron Palm Soak reaches the temperature you are comfortable with place your hand and wrist into the soak. Soak your wrist for 20 minutes and remove your hand you will feel less pain the moment you remove your hand. Let your hands and wrist air dry then you can rinse them off.
The power of Chinese Herbs is unlike any other on how fast it works, you might have experienced this by using Dit Da Jow or some other type healing liniment or salve.
What is nice about the Iron Palm Soak is that you can reuse it for about seven days. After your initial use just pour the Iron Palm soak in a glass container, place in the refrigerator and you can use it again the next day if needed, just add more water to reach your quart level and repeat the same steps as you did previously.
You will find that only one or two soaks are necessary, depending upon the severity of the sprain. You can use this soak on any part of the body that sustained a sprain.
Each Iron Palm Soak is made fresh per order, there are no soaks sitting around waiting for a customer.Due to the aromatic nature of the herbs pre-making these soaks would create a inferior product.
Like all of our our Authentic Liniment Kits we prepare them fresh as we receive each order then they are shipped out no kit is sitting on a shelf waiting for a customer.

This works, I used it after a car accident for the pain caused by the seat belt on my shoulder and my hip. I soaked a rag and applied it to the areas and the pain eased away. It also helped with the arthritis in my hands as a bonus.
