Each batch starts as ~135 gallons of traditional water decoction. Roots, barks, and rhizomes are simmered to extract polysaccharides, glycosides, and hydrophilic compounds. Cinnamon bark (Gui Pi) is pre-soaked in Everclear for 12–72 hours to preserve its volatile oils.
190-proof Everclear is introduced, bringing the batch to 300+ gallons. As alcohol concentration climbs toward the critical 74–76% threshold, fat-soluble medicinals — camphor, menthol, essential oils — enter solution alongside the water-based compounds.
Natural Zhang Nao (camphor) and Bo He Nao (menthol) are carefully dissolved through agitation, air exposure, and patient mixing. Weather matters — temperature and humidity affect how compounds dissolve. This step cannot be rushed.
Herb dregs are never discarded. They go into fresh alcohol for weeks or months, pulling residual medicine for the next batch generation — a traditional step that ensures maximum potency in every bottle.
Every herb is microscopically tested for proper variety, contaminants, and potency before use. No animal products, no GMOs, no synthetic pesticides. Sustainably and ethically sourced.
Each batch is handcrafted in an approved facility. The amber glass Boston Round protects the formula from UV degradation. Bottles are filled above the labeled 3.4 fl oz — you always get a full bottle.
Apply Evil Bone Water directly to the affected area up to 4 times daily. Spray or pour onto a cotton ball and rub in fully. Allow the formula to dry naturally — removing it too early stops it from working. Best absorbed into warm skin after a shower or light massage.
Saturate a cotton ball or gauze pad with Evil Bone Water. Apply to the area and wrap lightly for 30–90 minutes. Especially effective for tendon injuries, fractures, and stubborn chronic pain. Do not use plastic wrap — let the formula breathe.
Apply Evil Bone Water first — its alcohol base opens the skin barrier. Then layer an oil or salve over the top. This dramatically increases absorption of the second product. Foundation of our Pain Power Combo and Trifecta protocols.
Add Evil Bone Water to a basin of warm water. Soak hands or feet for targeted relief of arthritis, carpal tunnel, and neuropathy. Warm water increases blood flow, allowing the formula to penetrate more deeply.
Do not apply to open wounds or broken skin — Evil Bone Water is alcohol-based and will sting. Do not ingest. Keep away from eyes and mouth. Camphor crosses the placental barrier — consult a practitioner before use during pregnancy. In children with a history of febrile convulsions, use with caution.

Increases local circulation and relieves pain. Natural camphor from 50-year-old camphor laurel trees in Southeast Asia — more than twice as safe as the synthetic version used by competitors.
Aromatic cooling agent that clears heat and vents inflammation. Natural peppermint-derived menthol — not synthesized — for a cleaner cooling sensation.
Stops bleeding without clotting. Reduces swelling, bruising, and inflammation. A rare herb requiring special extraction, with unmatched circulatory benefits.
Releases muscles, promotes circulation, warms cold channels. Sourced from trees 20–30 years old. Pre-soaked in Everclear to preserve volatile oils that would otherwise escape during decoction.
This potent ingredient is incredibly rare and difficult to source, even in its native country of China. Ji Gu Xiang is effective in treating bruises, sprains, and inflammation. It also helps to alleviate pain.
Promotes blood circulation and breaks accumulations. Contains curdione, a bioactive compound with demonstrated anti-platelet aggregation and antithrombotic activity.
Deeply aromatic — gives Evil Bone Water its distinctive warm, maple-like scent. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties.
Strengthens tendons and bones. Acrid and warming — removes cold and dampness underlying arthritis, bone pain, and sciatica. Wildcrafted for maximum potency.
Invigorates blood and disperses stasis. Clears heat and discharges toxins. Rich in resveratrol, polysaccharides, and flavonoids for inflammation control.
