Directions: External Use Only. To make: Break the herbs up into small pieces and put them in a glass jar with 1.5 gallons of vodka or Chinese Bai Jiu (White Alcohol). The alcohol content should be between 40-60%. Seal the container and store it out of the light in a cool, dark place for at least 3 months. Shake the container as often as possible. Pour some of the liquid out into a smaller glass container for regular use and let the rest brew for another few months or even up to two years or more. Do not store this liniment in plastic containers except for short periods of time.
To apply: Take a small amount of the liniment and massage it into the joints of the hands and wrist as well as the tendon attachments of the flexor and extensor muscles of the hands located at the medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus. The liniment should be applied before and after any activity which stresses the sinews and joints of the hands, wrists, and forearms – Grappling!
