We all enjoyed it, but the rolls, throws and climbing definitely came more easily to the kids! Any activity that involves <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/natural-home\/forza-samurai-sword-workout-review\/\">wooden swords<\/a> and rolling will inevitably create some bumps and bruises along the way.<\/p>\n<p>After one class that left us particularly sore, the Sensei (teacher) shared a traditional herbal remedy. It\u2019s been used in Asian countries for pain relief and rapid healing for years. Dit Da Jow (literally translated \u201chit wine medicine\u201d) is essentially an<a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/remedies\/herbal-tinctures\/\"> herbal tincture<\/a> or liniment packed with healing herbs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-dit-da-jow\">What is Dit Da Jow?<\/h2>\n<p>Dit Da Jow is an analgesic liniment traditionally preferred by martial artists. Often a martial arts master blends his unique mixture of many aromatic herbs like myrrh, ginseng, and traditional TCM herbs. The combination helps stimulate circulation, reduce pain and swelling, and improve injuries and speed wound healing.<\/p>\n<p>The tradition became known as \u201chit medicine\u201d. Many people have also found this liquid analgesic useful for reducing muscle aches, arthritis, and rheumatism discomfort.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dit-da-jow-recipes\">Dit Da Jow Recipes<\/h2>\n<p>I researched traditional Dit Da Jow recipes and while it was hard to find many of them (most are considered secret family recipes), I finally found a mixture that works really well for us. Traditional Dit Da Jow uses a long list of herbs that are native to Asia, many of which are hard to find in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The version I came up with has the same benefits, but many of the herbs are found in the US. While this wouldn\u2019t be considered true Dit Da Jow, it\u2019s been very effective for our bumps and bruises. It also helps speed recovery of non-martial arts related injuries so I keep it stocked in our natural medicine cabinet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can also find more traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Natural-Therapy-Analgesic-Tendinitis-Reliever\/dp\/B0131ROZFO\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=wellnessmama-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dit Da Jow<\/a> here if you want to try it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-benefits-of-dit-da-jow\">The Benefits of Dit Da Jow<\/h2>\n<p>Overall Dit Da Jow helps reduce swelling and speed healing from bumps and sprains.

When applied topically alcohol quickly absorbs into our skin and works quickly. You may be familiar with making herbal tinctures to take internally, this is just a topical version. This recipe is for external use only, it\u2019s not the kind of tincture you take internally.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the recipe does call for a lot of herbs, but I\u2019ve seen it get rid of bruises and pain overnight!

Some research has shown that a batch steeped for 5 years had significantly more benefits than one steeped for 1 year. You probably don\u2019t want to wait that long before using your liniment though. I\u2019ve found that even 6 weeks is enough to get herbal benefits. Plus, the traditional recipes are often made with Chinese root herbs that are tougher than plantain, calendula, etc.<\/p>\n<p>You can keep the herbs in the jar and strain the liquid out as needed. Just be sure the herbs stay completely covered in alcohol. Once you\u2019ve used more of the liquid, just strain the herbs out. Store your Dit Da Jow in a cool, dark place, away from direct light and heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your favorite herbal remedies for muscle aches and pains?
