Chinese Remedy For Bruises

The Chinese remedy for bruises is called Die Da Jiu which loosely translated means fall/strike wine. It is also referred to as Dit Da Jow heaqr in the United States. This Chinese remedy for bruises consists of a combination of Chinese herbs soaked in rice wine or other alcohol like Vodka for a month or longer, after this maceration process it becomes a  liniment which is applied to the bruised area to fast track the healing process, in some cases bruises and painful sprains have been healed in less than 48 hours.

How It Works

Dit Da Jow works using the unique combination of herbs that work together to unblock what is referred to as blood stagnation and blood stasis.These herbs can have up to four categories in which they work, there is the Chief herb, the Deputy herbs, the Assistant herbs and the Envoy herbs. They all work together in a synergistic manner to create a powerful liniment to heal bruises.

We all know a bruise is a skin injury also referred to as a contusion that causes discoloration of the skin, what we refer to as black and blue marks. Blood from damaged blood cells deep beneath the skin collects near the surface causing this discoloration. Bruises occur when the soft tissues of the body get whacked, when they do, small veins and capillaries, the very small blood vessels under the skin break which results in a bruise. The Chinese refer to this as blood stagnation or painful obstruction. The vital energy of life the Chinese refer to as Qi is considered blocked or stagnated. This results in pain and in some cases swelling. The herbs used in Dit Da Jow unblocks the Qi and moves the blood by healing the veins and capillaries quickly.

Besides bruises Die Da Jiu is used for sprains, muscle soreness, strains and a variety of trauma injuries.This unique Chinese remedy for bruises has had a long history as mentioned above as it was used by the Shaolin Monks close to a thousand years ago for treating injuries caused by the hard training they did or if they engaged in battle to protect the temple. This bruise remedy allowed them to heal fast and train hard.
