Your first two words are a lie. Your sifu told me meat rots in the moon light, should I believe him?

you should only believe what your sifu tells you. why are you going around listening to other sifus. Its disrespectful for you to do that.

This is where I purchased my last bottle of jow. I got the general purpose mixture, yet at the time I had a problem with my wrist tendonitis/carple tunnel, not sure what was wrong. For my curing aid some herbs were added for my wrist situation.
not much later my wrist is feeling much better. I am now able to put all my weight on it as well as almost full force palm strikes, with no pain.
Comes in a glass bottle with a glass dropper. I must say I dont know why no one else uses droppers. Its a great idea.
I know PlumDragon (Josh) has a smaller operation going on than others out there, but he knows what he is doing and has sure helped me out.
I will surely purchase jow from him again.
He also sales an iron hand mixture as well as aged bottles.
Check it out!

I've bought a lot of Jow from china at stalls near the temple. They are authenthic monk mixes.

i started off with wing lam's jow.
used a couple from ditdajows.com.
made several of my own.
now i use mike biggie's jow (have a gallon right now).
it is truely the best i've ever had. african bird pepper
really hits the spot.
also there is a chewy ball that you can buy at most
chinatown supermarkets called "tieh tah wan".
i recovered from broken ribs in less than a month
with this stuff and biggie laoshi's jow.

For many years I swore by Lam Sifu's jow - now I realize it's a bit on the "light" side, although I do believe the formulation to be excellent - it just needs to be buried in the ground next to the kimchi for a few months.
One of the most effective jows I ever used for general bruising was a simple 'house blend' from an herbalist in Oakland Chinatown. It only had 8 ingredients, but dispersed bruises completely by the next morning after a hard night workin' the wooden dummy (geez, that almost sounds a little kinky)
As for the Tieh Ta Wan, I've heard of dissolving that resinous ball in rice wine or vodka as an 'emergency jow' with decent results. I've not tried that, although I will often dissolve the pill in rice wine for internal consumption after getting the cr@p beaten outta me! The next day I usually feel better - If I don't take it, the next day I'm usually really sore, sluggish and have a headache.
peace out,

The Dit Da Wan/Tieh Ta Wan that I like the best is 5 Photos Brand. Not too bad of a taste. I eat it like taffy when I need to. Yummy for my tummy(and bruises...)
Lam sifu's jow is not bad. The recipe given on another post is the formula that he uses. I always make my jows with just enough vodka to cover the herbs, as that makes a very dark and powerful jow. If you can see through it then its not strong enough.

That's right. before I guy jow from someone I always make sure they're a chinese sifu. Those jow are like magic pills aren't they. gives you back your life force although some ppl will tell you it's not safe for consumption.

Just beacuse something from China says its an "Authentic Monk formula", does not always mean that it is a good one. I have a friend pick up a sword over there that was sold as an Authentic Chinese Jian (I cannot reemmber if it was inside or outside the temple there)......well,....it is a sword....it was made in China,...but the materials/workmanship/quality was less than top-notch.
My intent here is not to down anyone for believing the lable or to say that the product is in any way lacking; My intent is to caution the buyer. The best way to know what is in your jow is to just make it yourself. I did & mine works almost like magic. Batch size makes no difference BTW,....as long as you can handle mixing the stuff thouroughly once a week for the first 3 months.
All the formulae that I have seen require that the jow be allowed to "ferment" for a minimum of 6 months & not kept in the light. I sell my jow in either cobalt blue or brown bottles to minimize sun exposure. One lady I know put hers in an empty "Absorbine Jr." bottle. Now _THAT_ is a cool idea.
Anyway, best wishes to you all,
