Mike B:
Here you go. A good chinese pharmicist can fill this out for you. Find a glass container you can seal up well. Brown tone is better. make sure your hands can fit inside of it.
You need to find some 180 proof vodka. Something that is 90% alcohol. My jar uses three packets of the prescription and a liter for each packet. (3 prescriptions will need 3 litres of alcohol)
Mix it all in the container and let sit for minimum of four weeks. the longer it marinates the stronger it is. Make sure to agitate it once a week.
When you use it for training:
Completely submerge one hand at a time past the wrist. Then when both hands are soaked, rub vigorously. Use before and after makiwara training or and iron hand training.
two
warnings: for external use only and it will turn yoru hands slightly yellow for the herbs. Don't worry it washes off.
good luck

Mike <jinteh1@yahoo.com> wrote:Great meditating stuff. I enjoy the posture meditating and it
seems as I get older I enjoy it more. When I was young I thought it
was sort of a waste of time,, as more active practice was what I
wanted,,but I know those long , long moments in Pole position
developed something inside me. I can see it and feel it today.
My Wu Sifu today does a bit of it,, but not as lengthy as we
used to do over sea's,, I guess for fear of losing students.. Im not
sure. Or maybe just because of Time retraints.
But on my own at home I practice pole sitting and it always helps.
For those of you that do hand training. As I get older I also tend
to work on the Makiwara more,,I can feel the Chi improve as I use it.
I can still strike it very hard and it tends to improve my
coordination and waist turning. I cant do the bag work for kicks as
I used to (as much),,but I still work on the basic kicks, and use the
Chisei everyother day for my weight work outs.
One question i have for you or anyone else in here,,is for hands.
Even though I love working out on the makiwara,, i tend to have
aches especially in lower thumb and wrist areas,, this is from
arthritis and years of doing karate. I bought some Dit Ja Jow in San
Francisco,,but it was the ready made stuff from a Chinese Pharmacy,
wanted to get some dry herbs and make it myself, so it would be a
little stronger. I make it at home also myself,,from normal over the
counter stuff from the Drug store,,but it tends to be a little
oily,,but it actually works pretty good. Does anyone in here have
any good perscription for a good hand lotion,,even a iron hand lotion
would be good,,if anyone knows how to make it. I know yall WuShu
folks would have good stuff for this.
