Iron Palm Dit Da Jow (Die Da Jiu,Dit Da Jao) (lit. "hit-fall wine") is a customized blend of herbs specific for healing bruises associated with Iron Palm training and is recommended for use in combination with the Iron Palm soak. Iron Palm formulas are made with herbs that support the body's healing and strengthening of bones, tendons, and ligaments of the hand; and help open the energy channels of the body leading the qi from Dan Tien to the hands.*

This formula was passed down through Hung-Gar practitioners from Wong Fei-Hung's lineage, generation after generation, from Sifu to student. Sifu Rik Kellerman of Ten Tigers Kung Fu Academy, a current disciple and holder of the formula, was kind enough to provide Modern Herb Shop with the opportunity to offer this formula to the general public. It differs in characteristics from basic Dit Da Jow formulas by having a stronger qi-moving action, thus making it's actions more potent. In addition to comprising strong herbs, the Modern Herb Shop's formula is aged for more than 3 years before being bottled.

Function:
Cooling herbs clear heat and dispel stasis as effectively as ice. Warming herbs stop pain, promote circulation, and break up accumulations of stagnant blood and fluids. This increases blood flow and supports the healing response. Special herbs also support the body's efforts to strengthen muscle, sinew (tendons and ligaments) and bone.

Indication:
Used intermittently, it functions as an excellent bruise liniment. Used regularly combined with Iron Palm training and soaks, it will build qi and support the body's efforts to strengthen muscle, sinew (tendons and ligaments) and bone.
