Alot of the ingredients used in Dit Da Jow are posionous so in my humble opinion not knowing what the ingredients are and what aspect of training your using the stuff for might be important.

Im sure there are alot of variations that are used for reducing bruise's and thats fine.

But when you start getting into the higher levels of learning your going to want somthing thats going to be benificial to what your doing as opposed to somthing that might be.

I have seen alot of people that tryed to train in Iron Palm for example and not take care of there hands, and find out that there was nothing they did that was correct. Some did not use Dai Da Jow, some trained way too hard too soon, and others just had no idea.

Im not saying that the people on here dont know any good recipies I have my own and Im happy with the results.

I just think that with Dit Da Jow thats a subject that those using it should know as much as possiable.

Now a days people have allergies to the stragest things, So you never know.

I have yet to meet a Sifu that does not understand whats in, what it does and how to make Dit Da Jow.

This past summer I made two different Jow's and each are used for different things and at different points in my training.

Anyways good luck in your training and have fun.
