Zheng Gu Shui – Large

Solstice Medicine Zheng Gu Shui – Large

Zheng Gu Shui, or “bonesetting water” is a powerful liniment that was formulated over 500 years ago by Chinese herbalists. Used for the temporary relief of aches, pains and injuries, zheng gu Shui’s cooling formula is applied externally to the body and boosts circulation and the healing process.

This remedy has been known by a few names over the years. It is also known as Dit da jow in Cantonese or Die da jiu in Mandarin.
