Dit Da Jow's

Q: I came upon your web site while I was looking for a good Dit Da Jow. The other web sites only confused me even more than I already was. Anyway after looking at your web site I now have a few additional questions that hopefully you can answer.

1). Can you recommend a product that can help me with tendinitis that I currently have in my right elbow? I have had it treated by an acupuncturist but it does flare up from time to time.
2). Can you recommend a product that can help me with arthritis that I currently have in my left shoulder? I have had it treated by an acupuncturist but it does flare up from time to time.
3). I am also looking for a good Dit Da Jow, can you point me in that direction as well?

I am a martial artist and items 1 and 2 seem to be getting in my way.


Thanks,
J.P.

A: Here's a link to a page where several of our Dit Da Jow's are located ("Dit Da Jow" is a generic term for "hit medicine"). I suggest trying the Zheng Gu Shui. It's cheap and works really good. Second choice: Iron Hand liniment.
You can also buy the bulk herbs and make up your own formula. We have them premeasured for you. Just soak in alsohol for few months and you'll have a great formula.

Weaverville Chinese History

Chinese miners settled in the Weaverville area in the 1800's. We found a museum across the parking lot from the Joss House that was really interesting. There were several cases filled with Chinese related historical objects. One that we found interesting was a medical book on display that had prescriptions for toothache, skin problems, and a Dit Da Jow formula. The formulas are all written by brush.
Unfortunately the book was locked in a cabinet and inaccessible. I would love to go through the book and have it translated.
Here's a picture of the page that is displayed. At the top, in the center you can find the characters for Tian Qi or Psuedoginseng which is a standard ingredient in dit da jow formulas.

Dit da jou or dit da chiu?

Q: Where can I get dit da jou or dit da chiu? Are these good for arthritis pain in the knee?

A: Dit ja jou or dit da chiu are different spellings of "dit da jow". Basicallythe name translates as "injury medicine" or "hit medicine". Here are several links to products in that are considered Dit Da Jow's.
While the formulas are generally used for a recent injury, many do help give relief for chronic pain like arthritis.
