Also, sunlight is supposedly really bad for jow, yet some people use trees to condition their limbs and use wooden dummies outside, so I suppose once the jow is aged for the right amount of time it can be used in sunlight? Thanks in advance.

You store it in a dark room to allow it to ferment and the chemicals to balance and blend, heat and direct light breaks down the important nutrients and chemicals before they are released, after the ageing process has completed you can allow jow to be used outside, short periods of light are not too harmfull, but long exposure is detrimental. As for shaking it, that is to get a blend of the herbs and release their chemicals before application, doesn't need to be used in dark room while doing this.


Just curious, what MA do you do? Have you ever used jow?
