How is our Dit Da Jow (Northern Shaolin) made?
Dit Da Jow (Northern Shaolin) is macerated (soaked) in alcohol for at least a year and comes with a certificate to verify this. The nineteen different Authenticated Dao Di Chinese herbs are ground into a powder to give an increased surface area so more of the active ingredients are extracted from the herbs into the 25% V/V alcohol. The 25% V/V alcohol / Water content ensures a maximum extraction of both water soluble and organic constituents from the high-quality Chinese herbs used in this liniment.

Dit Da Jow Massage Oil (Northern Shaolin)
Dit Da Jow Massage Oil (Northern Shaolin). This formulation is produced by infusing 20 different Authenticated Dao Di Chinese herbs into grapeseed oil.

These two herbs have been replaced by Xue Jie (Resina Draconia) and San Qi (Radix Notosoginseng). This has been done to make the massage oil nut free and vegan friendly. This massage oil can be used for all sorts of injuries including bruising, muscle tears and ligament injuries.

Dit Da Jow Liniment Preparation
The maceration process (extraction of the active ingredients from the herbs) takes about 6 months for the powdered herb kits and 1 year for the whole dried herb kits. The powdered herbs have a larger surface area for extraction and hence the active ingredients in the herbs will be extracted more quickly. Add your herbs to your wide necked glass jar and add your premixed surgical spirit mixture 25% V/V or 40% V/V (surgical spirit/ distilled water). Place lid on the jar, tighten and seal round with tape or parafilm. Shake the jar until the herbs are mixed throughout the liquid and store in a cool dark place. The jar should be thoroughly shaken 2 to 3 times a week.
