Evil Bone Water – Benefits, Ingredients, and History of Zheng Gu Shui

Evil Bone Water is a powerful Chinese herbal liniment used for relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and accelerating recovery. It is commonly applied for arthritis, muscle strains, sprains, bruises, sports injuries, and joint pain. This topical analgesic penetrates deep into tissues, supporting faster healing and long-term relief from discomfort.

Evil Bone Water is used to treat:

How often should you use Evil Bone Water?

Evil Bone Water (EBW) is a potent, topically-applied herbal solution with profound therapeutic properties. Proper usage frequency ensures optimal benefits and safety.

What is Zheng Gu Shui?

Developed by a Chinese Master Herbalist over 500 years ago, Zheng Gu Shui is used today to treat pain and trauma. It successfully heals injuries related to muscles, bones, and joints, such as backaches, arthritis, strains, bruises, sprains, and breaks. Zheng Gu Shui is an external analgesic salve and is a must-have for everyone’s first aid cabinet. Evil Bone Water is well known in martial arts and sports medicine circles for its quick and effective healing properties and pain relief. Used by martial artists to aid in the healing of iron fist training, it is believed to stimulate circulation, reduce pain and swelling, and improve the healing of injuries and wounds. Today the most common applications for Zheng Gu Shui involve traumatic injuries, bruises, and sprains. However, many people have found Zheng Gu Shui helpful for common ailments like carpal tunnel and arthritis.

The Origins of Evil Bone Water and Why It Is Better Than Zheng Gu Shui

Evil Bone Water has made a splash in the Chinese medical community. This popularity is because its premium herbs are ethically sourced. In addition, the quality of ingredients is upgraded to surpass traditional Zheng Gu Shui. Practitioners are discovering how to use Evil Bone Water for martial art conditioning, such as in iron fist training. Meanwhile, western practitioners are learning to use it clinically for arthritis and joint pain. The original formula of Zheng Gu Shui had 26 ingredients. These ingredients were local to the herbalists who made the topical, and there wasn’t enough to support high-quantity production. Eventually, the demand for Zheng Gu Shui became too high for local herbalists to supply. Mass-market herbalists took the product to the commercial market but had to lower the quality of the product. They removed all but 7 of the original ingredients in the traditional Zheng Gu Shui formula. We recognized the ineffectiveness of this product. Essential ingredients were left out, making the liniment sub-par. Evil Bone Water rose to the challenge of creating the most effective product on the market by including four essential ingredients mass-market herbalists leave out of their formulas.

What Are the Ingredients in Evil Bone Water?

We have provided a complete ingredient list of Evil Bone Water, including supplemental information regarding each ingredient used. In addition, we explain why each component is used and what benefit it provides

Zhang Nao, Camphor, Cinnamomum Camphora

Zhang Nao, Camphor, Cinnamomum Camphora Increases local circulation and relieves pain. Camphor is a natural product derived from the wood of the camphor Laurel Tree (Cinnamomum camphora L.) It increases circulation and relieves pain.

The trees that Camphor is derived from are 50 years old. First, the camphor laurel tree’s wood is steamed or roasted. Then those vapors are caught and condensed to capture the volatile oils.

Zhang Nao is highly graded, medical quality camphor and a key ingredient Zheng Xie Gu Shui. Genuine, medicinal-grade, natural Camphor only comes from trees that grow in Southeast Asia. Other regions cannot grow trees with enough medicine to make harvesting for Camphor worthwhile.

The synthetic version of Camphor is made from the stumps of the southern pine tree. It is produced through a chemical process similar to turpentine. However, the difference between synthetic and natural Camphor is striking. While natural turpentine oil from southern pine trees has some healing properties, it is unsafe to use directly on the skin. Unfortunately, synthetic Camphor became popular because it is less expensive to produce. In addition, Southern Pine trees are more abundant than Camphor Laurel trees, making it possible to produce larger quantities of synthetic Camphor.

Fun Fact About Synthetic Camphor
In WWII, Camphor was used in the U.S. as a critical component in insect repellant. The prices for natural Camphor skyrocketed since the commodity was only produced in Southeast Asia. The demand was so high its value exceeded that of gold! However, scientists in America found a way to synthesize Camphor from the Southern Pine Tree stump, the same tree that produces medicinal-grade turpentine oil. To this day, the discovery of synthesis is the only thing that keeps Zhang Nao’s prices regulated!

San/Tian Qi, Notoginseng, Pseudoginseng

San/Tian Qi, Notoginseng, Pseudoginseng San Qi stops bleeding and eliminates blood stasis. It also reduces swelling, bruising, inflammation, and pain from trauma.

San Qi is expensive and is as hard as a rock. It takes special handling to extract it properly, however its healing benefits are worth the trouble. San Qi stops bleeding without clotting and reduces swelling and pain. It also has some profound synergistic effects with antiviral and antibacterial herbs.

In Chinese medicine, San Qi has been reported to have several benefits, including reducing thrombogenicity and arrhythmias and increasing erythrocyte deformability. Additionally, San Qi has been said to be an antioxidant, which can counteract free radical damage associated with atherogenesis and myocardial injury seen with ischemia and reperfusion. These pharmacologic effects explain why this essential healing herb has been used to treat circulatory disorders for centuries.

Single-Target Treatments for a Multi-System Problem

Gui Pi, Cinnamon Bark
Gui Pi, also known as Cinnamon Bark, releases muscles, promotes circulation, and warms. This picture shows a fabulous, imperial-grade Gui Pi (Cinnamon Bark) that just came in from a Botanical Biohacking agent in China. This Gui Pi came from trees 20-30 years old and will provide enough medicine for thousands of Zheng Xie Gu Shui bottles. The colors of this bark are beautiful. It emits a dense and complicated smell unique to this ingredient of Evil Bone Water.

Gui Pi Pre Soak Process
After soaking for only a few hours, this photo is of our Imperial Grade Gui Pi. Certain herbs are pre-soaked before adding them to the Evil Bone Water decoction. Pre-soaking Gui Pi prevents its volatile oils from escaping in the cooking process. These potent oils offer several healing benefits and must be applied directly to the skin. Pre-soaking is an extra step we take to ensure we get every last drop of oil into Evil Bone Water. Next, we pre-soak the Gui Pi (cinnamon bark) in Everclear and the other herbs in water. This process helps to soften the cell walls before decoction and allows for total alcohol extraction. The extracted goodness will return to the pot when it’s cooled enough.

Gui Pi Soak Stages
Pre-soaking Gui Pi is not necessary, but we are dedicated to creating the best linament on the market. We include steps that take additional time and care but result in better medicine. Each batch of Evil Bone Water is handmade to ensure the highest quality product.

E Zhu, Zedoary Rhizome, Rhizoma Curcumae

E Zhu, Zedoary Rhizome, Rhizoma Curcumae
E Zhu promotes the circulation of blood and breaks accumulations. As quoted from a renowned Chinese medical journal:

“Curdione, one of the major sesquiterpene compounds from Rhizoma Curcumae, has been shown to exhibit multiple bioactive properties that are anti-platelet aggregation and antithrombotic activities of curdione.”

In addition, E Zhu is an essential oil used in treating cancer in China.

Lu, Jin-Jian, et al. “Anti-cancer properties of terpenoids isolated from Rhizoma Curcumae–A review.” Journal of ethnopharmacology 143.2 (2012): 406-411.

Bai Zhi, Angelica dahurica

Bai Zhi, Angelica dahurica
This ingredient is darkly colored and very aromatic. It imparts a sweet smell to the formula reminiscent of maple syrup. The aroma is robust and will linger on your body.

In traditional Chinese medicine Bai Zhi, it is praised for its therapeutic effects in treating colds and headaches and alleviating pain. It also effectively reduces swelling, eliminates toxins, and expels pus. In addition, Bai Zhi has various bioactivities such as anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, analgesic activity, and antiviral and antimicrobial effects. This is just one of the many herbs that make Evil Bone Water so powerful.

“Research has also shown that both crude extracts and active components of A. dahurica possess a wide range of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, analgesic activity, antiviral and antimicrobial effects, effects on the cardiovascular system, neuroprotective function, hepatoprotective activity, effects on skin diseases.”

Zhao, Hui, et al. “The Angelica dahurica: A review of traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology.” Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022): 2367.

Magical Properties of Bai Zhi

Exorcism
Protection
Healing
Sprinkle the house’s four corners with Bai Zhi to ward off evil. Then, add it to a bath to remove hexes, curses, and any spells cast against you.

Hu Zhang (Japanese Knotweed Root)

Hu Zhang (Japanese Knotweed Root)
Reynoutria japonica houtt is a favorite herb with a deep, rich smell. It works by invigorating the blood and dispersing stasis.

Hu Zhang is effective in clearing heat in the body. It is used to discharge toxins, burns, pus, and carbuncles. This same property also helps with inflammation. Hu Zhang promotes the healing of burns by enhancing the immune system and cardiac functions. Leaves of R. Sachalinensis are used as a disinfectant and are protective against boils.

In China, Hu Zhang is currently used in combination with other herbs to treat inflammatory diseases, including hepatitis and suppurative dermatitis, favus, jaundice, skin burns, scald, cough, amenorrhea, and hyperlipidemia. Hu Zhang contains resveratrol, polysaccharides, flavonoids, quinones, and large amounts of condensed tannins.

We use substantial amounts of the highest quality Hu Zhang in Evil Bone Water.

Evil Bone Water

Evil Bone Water (Zheng Gu Shui) is a Chinese topical medicinal hand-crafted with only empirical grade herbal ingredients in an approved facility.

Why Evil Bone Water is Superior To Other Zheng Gu Shui Formulas

Marrying and mixing herbs through decoction and alcohol extraction creates Evil Bone Water’s unmatched potency. We use the highest quality ingredients and the best production methods. Evil Bone Water is set apart from the competition in several ways:

Evil Bone Water is crafted using imperial-grade herbs that are 2-5 grades above the C-quality herbs used in most other products made by U.S. supplies
Evil Bone Water has no animal products.
It is non-GMO, gluten-free, cruelty-free, pesticide-free, and contaminant free.
The Camphor and menthol in Evil Bone Water are natural. Competitors use lesser-quality synthetic versions,
We only use 190 Everclear in our topical ointment. Other manufacturers use cheaper products like ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.

190 Everclear Vs. Ethanol While ethanol is 800% cheaper than 190 Everclear, topically applied ethanol acts as a skin penetration enhancer and may facilitate the transdermal absorption of herbs. The topical application of 10% ethanol stimulates the proliferation of skin, which can be interpreted as a positive influence on the stimulation of wound healing. In addition, studies show that ethanol on the skin increases blood vessel dilation. The ethanol also breaks down lipid or skin oils which can enhance hydration because of increased cutaneous permeability to alcohol. The decreased skin oil lowers the skin barrier function and makes the membrane more permeable. This action also explains how ethanol can help other herbs penetrate the skin, explaining why ethanol has such a strong effect as a skin penetration enhancer.

Imperial-Grade Herbs in Evil Bone Water

Every herb is microscopically tested for proper variety, contaminants, and strength. We make sure all ingredients are sustainably and ethically sourced. Everything that goes into a bottle of Evil Bone Water comes from the finest ingredients on the planet.

In addition, we pre-soak certain herbs for 12-72 hours before adding them to the Evil Bone Water decoction. Doing this prevents volatile oils from escaping during the cooking process. The extracted goodness will return to the pot when it’s cooled enough. Pre-soaking is an additional step we take to make sure our Evil Bone Water is produced with the highest quality standards. Zheng Xie Gu Shui is our passion. That is why each batch is handmade with the best possible ingredients.

Evil Bone Water Stages of Production
Finally, we use a complex double extraction process to ensure every last drop of medicine is pulled from these fantastic herbs. The “dregs” from a batch are never boiled twice. Instead, they go into fresh alcohol and sit for weeks or months, awaiting use in next-generation batches. They are technically good enough to use by the time they have soaked, but we take it one step further. The resulting alcohol extraction will then make current Evil Bone Water batches. This “double extraction” process is unnecessary, but it is one of the premium quality details we do to make the finest product possible.

When we craft our product, I always ask myself- What do I want on my skin? In my patient's body? My own family?

Which Is Better Zheng Gu Shui, Evil Bone Water, or Biofreeze?

Which Is Better: Zheng Gu Shui, Evil Bone Water, or Biofreeze?

When It Comes to Topical Pain Relief, the Details Matter

As an acupuncturist, I use topical sprays every single day in the clinic. They’re not all the same.

When it comes to topical pain relief, choosing the right topical matters. Zheng Gu Shui is a traditional Chinese herbal liniment with centuries of use. Evil Bone Water is a contemporary, handcrafted version of Zheng Gu Shui, made with high-grade herbs. Biofreeze gel is a widely used menthol-based analgesic. .

Below is a clear, experience-based comparison written for patients based on what I actually use, what I don’t, and why.

Key Takeaways

Biofreeze is useful for quick cooling, lubrication, and clean application, but it’s not a tissue-healing formula.
Zheng Gu Shui is a powerful traditional trauma liniment best suited for acute injuries, bruises, and short-term use.
Evil Bone Water builds on Zheng Gu Shui by adding herbs that support inflammation control, circulation, and long-term tissue repair.

https://youtube.com/shorts/o9-y46R47JQ?feature=share

In this video, I spray Biofreeze and Evil Bone Water side by side and let them dry.

What stood out immediately: Biofreeze dried into a crusty, filmy residue, while Evil Bone Water evaporated cleanly with no tacky film

Comparison Chart: Biofreeze vs Zheng Gu Shui vs Evil Bone Water

Feature	Biofreeze Gel	Zheng Gu Shui	Evil Bone Water
Typical Price (3–4 oz)	$11–$15+	$20–$35+	$40–$42+
Active Ingredients	Menthol 4%	Camphor 5.6%, Menthol 5.6%	Natural camphor, natural menthol
Herbal Components	Aloe, arnica, burdock (supporting extracts)	Blood-moving trauma herbs: knotweed, swallowwort, prickly ash, zedoary	Chronic injury & healing herbs: San-Qi, Gui Pi, E Zhu, Bai Zhu, Hu Zhang, Huang Qin, more
Alcohol Base	Yes (isopropyl alcohol)	Yes (alcohol + water)	Yes (high-proof alcohol)
Residue / Sensation	Cooling; can leave a tacky film; won’t stain	Cooling; dries clean; may stain	Warming + cooling; dries clean; may stain
Healing Support	Short-term symptom relief	Traditional support for acute injury	Enhanced support for inflammation & chronic pain

If you’re dealing with lingering pain or an injury that just won’t fully resolve, this is the topical I reach for in my clinic.

Evil Bone Water goes beyond surface cooling and is designed to support circulation, inflammation, and tissue recovery.

Try Evil Bone Water and feel the difference.

How I Use These in Practice

I use Biofreeze and Evil Bone Water in my clinic—but for very different reasons.

Why I Use Biofreeze

Biofreeze is useful because it’s:

I use Biofreeze when I’m not trying to heal tissue, but when I need:

Specifically, I use it:

In those moments, Biofreeze does its job.

What I Don’t Like About Biofreeze

I recently ran a simple test in the clinic: Biofreeze on one surface, Evil Bone Water on another, camera rolling, then wait.

What I saw surprised me.

Biofreeze dried into a visible, grimy film.

That matters because:

So while Biofreeze is a helpful tool, I don’t see it as something that supports long-term healing.

Why I Don’t Use Solstice Zheng Gu Shui in the Clinic

I don’t use the Solstice Med version of Zheng Gu Shui not because the formula is bad historically, but because it doesn’t work for a busy clinic.

My reasons are straightforward:

For occasional personal use? Fine.

For consistent clinical work? It doesn’t fit.

Why I Use Evil Bone Water

When I’m actually trying to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and help tissue recover, this is what I reach for.

I use Evil Bone Water when:

What I Like:

What I don’t like:

Even with those downsides, I still choose it because healing, not convenience, is the goal.

Ingredient Philosophy

Biofreeze: Modern Pharmaceutical Logic

Biofreeze’s inactive ingredients come from:

Pharmaceutical formulation science (delivery, texture, stability)
Cosmetic dermatology (skin feel, irritation reduction)
Wellness signaling (plant extracts that look natural but aren’t part of a true herbal system)

These ingredients help the product feel good—but they’re not working together as a medicinal formula.

Zheng Gu Shui: Acute Trauma Logic

Zheng Gu Shui is designed to:

It’s intentionally strong and simple—ideal for fresh sprains, bruises, and impact injuries, but not built for long-term tissue repair.

Evil Bone Water: Chronic Injury & Repair Logic

Evil Bone Water keeps the trauma-clearing foundation but expands it:

That shift from “stop pain now” to “help tissue heal” is why it performs differently.

FAQ's

About Microgard

What is Zheng Gu Shui used for?

Zheng Gu Shui is a traditional Chinese liniment most commonly used for acute injuries, such as sprains, bruises, contusions, and impact trauma. Its formula strongly moves blood and helps reduce pain and swelling shortly after injury.

Is Evil Bone Water the same as Zheng Gu Shui?

They are related but not the same. Evil Bone Water is inspired by Zheng Gu Shui–style formulas but expands on them by adding herbs that:

Reduce ongoing inflammation
Support tendons, joints, and connective tissue
Address chronic or unresolved injuries

Think of Zheng Gu Shui as acute trauma support, and Evil Bone Water as trauma + healing.

Why does Biofreeze feel different from herbal liniments?

Biofreeze relies on menthol as a counter-irritant, which creates a cooling sensation that temporarily interrupts pain signals. Its inactive ingredients are designed for:

Texture
Fast drying
Skin feel
Shelf stability

It’s engineered more like a pharmaceutical gel than a medicinal herbal formula.

Does Biofreeze heal inflammation?

Biofreeze can mask pain temporarily, but it does not biologically address inflammation or tissue repair in the way herbal formulas are designed to. That’s why I use it as a tool not as a healing strategy.

Can these sprays stain clothing?

Biofreeze: Does not stain
Zheng Gu Shui: Can stain due to dyes and herbal pigments
Evil Bone Water: May stain light or white clothing, but typically washes out

I recommend applying herbal liniments before dressing or covering the area if needed.

Are these safe for sensitive skin?

Biofreeze: Generally well tolerated, but some users report irritation with frequent use
Zheng Gu Shui: Strong; best for short-term use
Evil Bone Water: Uses natural menthol and camphor and is often gentler, but still strong. The natural ingredients makes it safe for many people sensitive skin.

References

Call to action

That’s why, in my clinic, Evil Bone Water is what I use when the goal is healing, not just temporary relief.

It’s built on the traditional Zheng Gu Shui framework, upgraded with higher-grade herbs, natural camphor and menthol, and a formulation designed to support circulation, calm inflammation, and help damaged tissue recover over time.

It’s not the cheapest option

But it’s the one I trust when results actually matter.

If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level relief, try Evil Bone Water the same topical I use in clinical practice

Why Choose the Pain Power Combo?

You’ve likely heard the phrase “two heads are better than one.” Well, the same logic applies here. Corydalis Relief Salve and Evil Bone Water work like the Yin and Yang of pain relief, each offering unique benefits that complement each other perfectly.

Evil Bone Water

It acts quickly to open up your pores for rapid absorption, giving you immediate relief. The natural menthol and camphor stimulate your skin, and its natural compounds accelerate blood flow to speed up healing and decrease inflammation.

Learn more about what Evil Bone Water does

Corydalis Relief Salve

This salve takes the baton from Evil Bone Water and runs with it, offering longer-lasting relief. It soothes the skin, allowing the salve’s natural pain-relieving compounds to kick in gradually, thanks to its coconut oil, Shea Butter, and beeswax base.

The result? A powerful, comprehensive approach to pain relief that targets different aspects of your discomfort and helps you feel better for longer.

How to Apply Them Together for Maximum Effect

The magic lies in the sequence. First, apply Evil Bone Water to the affected area. Its alcohol base makes your skin more permeable, allowing for quick absorption. Wait a few minutes for the skin to absorb it fully. Next, layer on Corydalis Relief Salve. The salve penetrates deep into the skin, providing extended relief for up to 2-3 hours longer than using either product alone.

By combining the two, you unlock the full potential of each product, reaping all their individual benefits in one powerful, long-lasting treatment.

What Makes Them So Effective? The Science Explained

Let’s break down the science behind these two incredible products:

Sensory Neurons and Pain Perception

Our skin contains specialized nerve cells that help us perceive pain. These cells have “gates” that control our pain signals, which can be influenced by substances like histamine, produced within the skin, and by signals from the brain and brain stem.

The Role of Ginsenosides in Evil Bone Water

Evil Bone Water contains “San Qi,” a key ingredient derived from Panax notoginseng that has been used safely in traditional medicine for centuries. It contains ginsenosides, which are compounds known to block specific pain receptors and reduce inflammation, providing quick relief.

The Alkaloids in Corydalis Salve

Yan Huo Sui (often referred to as Corydalis ) contains powerful compounds like Dehydrocorydaline that interact with Dopamine and Opiate receptors in our nervous system. This interaction relieves pain without causing addiction, thanks to its targeted approach to specific Dopamine receptors. Plus, Corydalis is rich in berberine, another compound that helps reduce inflammation.

Why Wait? Get Relief Now!

Pain shouldn’t dictate your life. With the Pain Power Combo of Corydalis Salve and Evil Bone Water, you can seize control and experience relief like never before. Don’t miss out on the chance to revolutionize your approach to pain management.

Remember, the power to change your life is just a click away!

Your business has been experiencing substantial growth. Can you share some details?
Can you tell us what’s new at Evil Bone Water?

Q: Can you tell us what's new at Evil Bone Water?

A: Absolutely! Recently, we’ve welcomed my son, Braeden Brinson, to the team, keeping with the tradition of passing down the formula from generation to generation. This move marks another important step in solidifying Evil Bone Water as a true legacy business.

A: Yes, we’ve seen fantastic growth. Our focus remains on our core clientele – Acupuncture Physicians. But we’re not stopping there.

Q: We've heard there's a big announcement about Evil Bone Water. Can you share more about this?

A: Absolutely, this is something we’re very excited about! Evil Bone Water is now officially a VA Medical Center Vendor. This means we can be carried and prescribed to veterans in need, a population we’ve always aimed to help.

There are 171 major hospitals with Acus and in-house pharmacies, plus an additional 1100 minor VA pharmacies where our product can now be available. Our dream is that this development drives more and more patients to clinics for both our bottles and treatment.

From the start, we designed Evil Bone Water to be an emissary of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) – the strongest possible and very safe. We aimed to create something that gives the user an impactful response and a solid impression of our medicine.

Now, we’re about to reach a huge and untapped population. Veterans are a community that are truly opinionated and, based on their experiences with Evil Bone Water, we believe they’ll be our biggest advocates.

We’re thrilled about this development and look forward to helping more people, especially our veterans who have served our nation. Watch this space – there’s more to come!

Q: How is the manufacturing process going?

A: We’re currently maxed out, producing 100-150 gallons every 10 days, boiling five vats at a time. But we’re not complacent. We’ve got a new building slated for completion this summer with custom-designed vats that will streamline the entire brewing process. These multi-function vats will allow us to expand effortlessly, simply by adding one new vat at a time.

These aren’t the Exact Vats but we are designing and making the prototype now

A: Of course! I start my day treating patients, then head to the gym at 9 am. Post-workout, I shift to the warehouse, overseeing operations until 2 pm before transitioning to paperwork. It’s a rigorous routine, but it keeps everything running smoothly.

Q: Where do you see Evil Bone Water in the next five to ten years?

A: In the next 2-3 years, we aim to double or even triple our sales and start manufacturing our own alcohol, positioning ourselves as an East Coast distributor for alcohol makers. Looking ten years ahead, I envision this as a family business, with my son and daughter working alongside me.

Q: How does the business look different now vs. when you first started?

A: It’s completely transformed. I never anticipated becoming the CEO of a major manufacturing company. Some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way include the importance of planning to scale, ordering products well in advance, and avoiding supply chain issues by ordering 6 to 12 months ahead.

Q: Which other topicals do you use besides Evil Bone Water?

A: I’m a big fan of EBW, but I also use Po Sum On, Dr Bobs, Red Emporer Immortal Flame, and Emily’s Skin Soothers. Each has its unique benefits, and I use them depending on the need.

Q: How do you decide to use one product over the other?

A: I often use EBW for most things as a prep. It seems to make whatever you apply afterward much better, changing skin permeability, or amplifying the effects. It all depends on the issue and the depth of penetration needed.

Q: How do topicals work? And how do you explain it to patients?

A: Essentially, topicals deliver potent herbs without having to go through your digestive system. They are highly effective and allow patients to actively participate in their treatment.

Q: Has using topicals made your clinic run better and easier?

A: Absolutely! Giving patients the ‘homework’ of using topicals empowers them and makes treatments last longer. It’s like giving them tools they wouldn’t have had otherwise,

A s Mark explained that sometimes waiting 2-7 days between treatments is too long for optimal results. By prescribing this low-effort yet impactful homework, patients can maintain their progress and even extend the benefits of their treatment.

Moving Forward

Evil Bone Water is used for relieving muscle and joint pain, healing bruises, and reducing inflammation. It is a traditional Chinese topical remedy often applied for conditions such as arthritis, sprains, and sports injuries.

Evil Bone Water is a topical analgesic spray that is designed to provide fast-acting pain relief. With a unique blend of ingredients, this spray offers strong heating and cooling sensations for immediate comfort. Its quick-drying formula makes application easy and convenient, even for those with busy lifestyles.

Benefits and Expected Results

Pros and Cons of Evil Bone Water

The advantages of using Evil Bone Water are numerous, from delivering fast-acting pain relief and strong heating and cooling sensations to its quick-drying formula and ability to open pores for improved absorption when combined with other products. Many users have reported significant improvement in various pain conditions, further attesting to its effectiveness. Moreover, the product has the added advantage of being usable for other household purposes, like removing Sharpie marker stains from tables.

However, it does come with a few drawbacks. The product’s runny consistency can make application challenging without a spray top. Also, the product’s strong herbal smell may not be appealing to all users. Additionally, while the intense heating and cooling sensations are often seen as benefits, they may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with sensitive skin. It is also important to note that Evil Bone Water may cause a stinging sensation if applied to cracked skin or used immediately after acupuncture.

Always remember that individual experiences with the product may vary, and testing the product on a small patch of skin is always recommended before using it fully. If you experience adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider

Evil Bone Water (EBW): The Complete Usage Guide

Evil Bone Water (EBW) is a potent topical solution renowned for its unique soothing properties. To unlock its full potential, understanding the right application methods is key.

Preparation:

Cleanliness First: Before applying EBW, clean and dry the intended area. Avoid using it on open wounds or broken skin, as this can cause a stinging sensation.

Application Techniques:

Soak: Ideal for treating hands or feet. Fill a tub with hot water and mix in EBW. Immerse hands or feet, but refrain from full-body baths.
Cotton Ball: Apply EBW directly using a cotton ball 2-4 times daily. Ensure thorough rubbing for maximum absorption.
Spray: For a lighter application or as a bug repellent, EBW spray is your ally. Shake well before use.
Wrap it: Especially effective for insect bites:
1. Saturate a gauze pad or cotton ball with EBW.
2. Place it on the affected area for 10-15 minutes.
3. Remove and feel the relief.
Note: Be cautious with this method to prevent staining or prolonged skin irritation.

Boosting Absorption:

Heat: Enhance blood circulation with a hot shower, then apply EBW on warm skin.
Massaging: Methods like foam rolling or professional massages stimulate blood flow, making the skin more receptive to EBW.

When to Apply:

Daily: Use up to four times or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Pre-Activity: Anticipate physical exertion? Apply EBW beforehand to counter potential discomfort.
Post-Activity: Use after workouts to aid in muscle and joint recovery.
After-Application Care: Allow EBW to dry naturally. Wash hands post-application to prevent accidental contact with sensitive areas.

Remember, the power of Evil Bone Water lies in its proper application. Following these guidelines ensures you maximize its benefits while ensuring skin safety. Adjust and monitor your content’s performance over time to better your chances of being featured in the snippet.

Tips to Maximize Benefits

Using Evil Bone Water in Combination

To maximize the benefits of EBW, consider combining it with products like Tibetan Herbal Foot Soaks and Pain Patches.

Pain Power Combo

Experience the transformative relief of the Pain Power Combo, a synergistic blend of Evil Bone Water and Corydalis Cream, tailored for those seeking a comprehensive solution to pain management. Start by gently applying Evil Bone Water to the affected area, allowing its fast-acting formula to penetrate deeply and initiate immediate relief by soothing sore tissues and reducing inflammation. As Evil Bone Water prepares the skin, follow up with the soothing Corydalis Cream, which complements the initial relief by providing a longer-lasting, deep-penetrating comfort. This cream, enriched with the natural analgesic properties of Corydalis, works gradually to maintain relief and ensure sustained comfort. This duo forms a powerful combination, offering a two-pronged approach to pain relief: immediate alleviation with Evil Bone Water and prolonged soothing with Corydalis Cream, making it an ideal regimen for those battling acute and chronic pain conditions.”

Tibetan Herbal Foot Soaks Combo

These foot soaks have been used for centuries to promote relaxation, stress relief, and foot health. To enhance their effects, add 5-10 sprays of EBW to your foot soak water.

Foot soaks are a relaxing and therapeutic practice that not only helps in reducing foot fatigue but can also serve as an excellent medium for the application of Evil Bone Water. Begin with preparing a warm foot soak as you normally would, ensuring the water temperature is comfortable but warm enough to facilitate the opening of skin pores. After your feet soak dry them off and gently massage Evil Bone Water into them, focusing on the areas that are particularly sore or painful. The heat from the soak will help dilate blood vessels and increase circulation, improving the absorption of Evil Bone Water into your feet. Subsequent soaking will help spread the product through the water, allowing a continuous application throughout your soak.

Pain Patches Combo

Pain patches, on the other hand, offer sustained, targeted pain relief, and can be enhanced by the initial application of Evil Bone Water. Before applying a pain patch, first clean and dry the area to be treated. Apply a moderate amount of Evil Bone Water and massage it gently into the skin. Wait for it to dry and be fully absorbed, which should take a few minutes given its quick-absorbing nature. Once the skin is dry, apply the pain patch directly over the treated area. The rapid action of the Evil Bone Water will begin to soothe the pain almost immediately, while the pain patch will provide a slow, continuous release of pain-relieving medication for lasting relief. The combination of these two methods ensures both instant and long-term relief from discomfort.

Understanding the Role of Alcohol in Topicals

The alcohol in EBW can help other beneficial ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin for more effective relief. Combined with other products like CBD cream, this can lead to longer-lasting benefits.

Ethanol is often used in topical applications because it can decrease skin oil and reduce skin barrier function. This makes the skin more permeable, allowing for better penetration of other ingredients such as CBD when combined with Evil Bone Water.

Remember, always consult with a healthcare provider if you’re dealing with persistent or severe pain, and before starting any new treatment regimen.

Understanding Liniments and Salves

Liniments, like Evil Bone Water, are known for their quick absorption speed compared to oil-based topicals. The alcohol content in these liniments allows active ingredients to penetrate the skin rapidly, providing swift relief from pain and discomfort. However, their volatility causes them to evaporate and dry quickly off the skin.

In contrast, oil-based salves have slower absorption but act more like a time-release mechanism. They create a barrier on the skin that gradually releases the active ingredients over time. While both types of topicals can be beneficial, using them together gives the best of both worlds – immediate relief and sustained action.

Additional Tips to Maximize Benefits of Evil Bone Water

Evil Bone Water’s efficacy can be amplified by pairing it with conventional pain relief methods such as rest and application of ice. Resting gives your body time to heal while reducing strain on the affected areas. Ice helps to lessen swelling and inflammation, providing immediate relief. The combination of these approaches can enhance the overall effectiveness of Evil Bone Water.

Indications and Contraindications

Types Of Pain It Can Help

Evil Bone Water is a highly versatile topical analgesic formulated for acute and chronic pain conditions. It has shown effectiveness in managing different types of pain, attributed to various underlying conditions as defined by Traditional Chinese Medicine principles:

Heat Pain

If the pain area is warm, inflamed, or presents with a burning sensation, EBW, with its cooling properties, can provide immediate relief.

Blood Stagnation

For sharp, stabbing pain that is fixed in location and worsens with pressure, EBW works by moving the blood and resolving the stagnation.

Qi Stagnation

Dull, achy, tense pain that eases with movement could signify Qi stagnation. In this scenario, EBW aids in moving the Qi to resolve stagnation.

Cold Stagnation

Sharp and stabbing pain, fixed in location and aggravated by cold weather, could be a sign of cold stagnation. While EBW has both cooling and warming properties, its warming attributes might be less effective for this type of pain than Red Emperor’s Immortal Flame, which is specifically formulated to provide warmth.

Depth Of Injury

The effectiveness of EBW is dependent on the depth of the injury. It is especially effective for superficial injuries, such as those involving the skin and fascial tissues, and muscular injuries. However, it may not be as effective for deeper injuries, such as abdominal pain or issues with the hip.

Conditions that may be worsened by its use

Open Wounds or Broken Skin

Evil Bone Water is alcohol-based and disinfectant, so it can cause stinging or burning sensations when applied to open wounds or broken skin. Using more suitable products for these conditions, like Yunnan Pai Yao for cuts and bleeding, or herbal burn cream for burns, is advised.

Blood Deficiency and Qi Deficiency

Pain that is dull, achy, weak, worsens with exertion and improves with rest may indicate Blood Deficiency or Qi Deficiency. The Corydalis Relief Stick, a milder but effective formula, is recommended as an alternative to EBW.

Cold Stagnation

Although EBW can be used for Cold Stagnation, Red Emperor’s Immortal Flame may provide better results due to its superior warming properties.

Pre-existing allergies or sensitivities

It’s important to remember that EBW has a strong herbal smell, and the intense heating and cooling sensations may not be suitable for everyone. Furthermore, it may cause a stinging sensation on cracked skin or when used immediately after acupuncture. People with sensitivities or allergies to any of the ingredients in EBW should refrain from using it. If you experience any adverse reactions such as rash, itching, or severe burning sensation, stop using the product immediately and seek medical advice.

Safety Instructions

Evil Bone Water is a generally safe product for topical use, composed of meticulously sourced and tested ingredients. It’s non-GMO, gluten-free, cruelty-free, pesticide-free, and contaminant-free, with no animal products. However, as with any product, it’s important to use it responsibly and as directed.

Camphor, one of the ingredients in EBW, is safe for topical use when sourced naturally, as in the case of EBW. It’s critical to avoid ingestion as it can be toxic, especially in children and pregnant women. The camphor in EBW comes from natural wood sources and is well within safe limits.

Another ingredient, Menthol, is safe for topical application but can pose risks if consumed in high dosages or inhaled for extended periods. It should not be used as a cooling method for someone already overheated.

Ethanol or alcohol, often used in topical applications, is generally safe, although it can cause skin dryness or irritation, particularly when applied to open wounds. The ethanol in EBW can enhance the product’s efficacy by breaking down skin oils and aiding in the absorption of other herbs.

In essence, while EBW is a safe product, it is essential to use it as intended – for topical use, avoiding ingestion or inhalation. The product should be kept out of reach of children, and special care should be taken by pregnant women and people with specific health conditions.

Avoiding Contact with Eyes, Mouth, and Other Sensitive Areas

It’s crucial to avoid getting EBW in your eyes, mouth, or other sensitive areas due to the high concentration of volatile oils and an alcohol base. If you are applying EBW with your hands, wash them thoroughly after each application to prevent accidental contact. If you’re using EBW as a spray, ensure you’re directing the spray away from your face and other sensitive areas.

In Case of Accidental Ingestion or Contact with Eyes

In case of accidental ingestion, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.

If Evil Bone Water accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Do not rub your eyes as it could potentially cause more irritation.

Storage Information

To store EBW safely, follow these guidelines:

Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help preserve the potency of the product and prevent degradation of the active ingredients.
Keep EBW out of the reach of children and pets.
Ensure the lid or cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent spillage or evaporation.
Do not store EBW near open flames or flammable substances due to its alcohol base.

Following these safety instructions will help you use EBW safely and effectively, allowing you to get the most out of your purchase. Always remember to use the product as instructed and contact a healthcare provider if you experience any adverse reactions.

Topicals vs Patches: A Powerful Combination

Posted on May 18, 2023 by Valley Health Clinic - Pain Management

Power Patch Combo: Dragontree Muscle Melt and Evil Bone Water

Living with pain can be challenging, and finding the right treatment to manage it can feel overwhelming. With numerous pain relief options available, it’s essential to understand the differences between them and how to use them effectively. In this blog, we will explore two popular pain relief options: topical liniments, specifically Evil Bone Water, and transdermal patches, with a focus on Dragontree Muscle Melt patches. We will discuss their differences, pros and cons, and how to use them together to optimize pain relief.

Topical Liniments (Evil Bone Water)

Evil Bone Water is a herbal liniment designed to provide fast-acting pain relief.

Pros

Rapid absorption: This alcohol-based liniment is quickly absorbed by the skin, allowing for faster relief of symptoms.
Lower cost: These products are generally more affordable than herbal patches.
Adjustable application: You can apply more or less liniment as needed, depending on your pain level and activities throughout the day.
Cost-effective: Liniments are generally more affordable compared to patches.

Cons

Inconsistent dosing: It can be challenging to consistently apply the correct amount of product, leading to potential variations in effectiveness.
Messy application: It can leave a residue on the skin and may stain clothing.
Frequent reapplication: Unlike patches, liniments may require a more frequent application to maintain their therapeutic effect.

Transdermal Patches (Dragontree Muscle Melt Patches):

Dragontree Muscle Melt patches are designed to provide long-lasting pain relief through a sustained release of active ingredients.

Pros

Sustained release: Herbal patches offer a controlled and continuous release of active ingredients over an extended period, ensuring the therapeutic effect is consistent and long-lasting.
Convenience: Patches are easy to apply and can be worn discreetly under clothing, allowing users to go about their daily activities without interruption.
Targeted delivery: Patches can be applied directly to the affected area, enabling localized treatment and reducing the risk of systemic side effects.
Non-messy: Unlike creams and liniments, patches do not leave any residue or mess.
Sustained release: Patches provide consistent and long-lasting pain relief, making them ideal for nighttime use.
Proprioception benefits: Patches can improve proprioceptive feedback, similar to Kinesio taping, which may help alleviate pain.

Cons

Limited flexibility: Patches may not be as convenient for adjusting the amount of pain relief throughout the day.
Higher cost: Patches are generally more expensive than liniments.
Allergic reactions: Some people may develop skin irritation or allergies to the adhesive used in patches.
Higher cost: Herbal patches tend to be more expensive than creams and liniments.

Combining Product

Combining Evil Bone Water and Dragontree Muscle Melt patches can optimize pain relief by leveraging the benefits of both products. Apply Evil Bone Water during the day for rapid relief and the flexibility to adjust the application as needed. Use Dragontree Muscle Melt patches at night for sustained relief and to minimize mess.

Patches Case Study

As an acupuncturist, I often encounter patients who struggle with pain that interferes with their daily lives. One such patient was Mary, a 50-year-old woman who came to me with a very specific problem: lower back pain that would only occur at night and worsen in the morning. Her pain was concentrated around her tailbone and sacrum, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. During the day, after taking a shower and getting up, she would feel fine, but the pain would return at night when she was trying to sleep.

Mary’s primary goal was to find a solution to allow her to sleep through the night without pain and wake up refreshed. After discussing her symptoms and needs, I recommended she try patches for nighttime pain relief.

I explained to Mary that patches are an excellent option for her situation because they can provide targeted, long-lasting relief. In her case, it didn’t make sense to wake up during the night to apply a topical liniment to her back, especially considering the challenging location of her pain. Instead, patches would allow her to apply the treatment before bed and enjoy uninterrupted relief throughout the night.

Mary began using the patches, cutting them to the appropriate size to fit her sacrum area. She would apply the patch to her lower back before going to bed, and the patch would work its magic all night long. To her delight, she found that the patches provided effective pain relief and did not leave any residue on her sheets or require her to wake up to reapply a cream.

Over time, Mary’s sleep quality improved dramatically, and she no longer experienced the morning pain plaguing her for so long. The patches proved an effective and convenient solution for her nighttime pain, allowing her to wake up feeling rested and pain-free. In combination with her regular acupuncture appointments, Mary was able to manage her pain effectively and reclaim her nights.

Topical Case Study

I often work with athletes who experience various sports-related injuries and conditions. One such athlete was Lisa, a passionate runner suffering from lateral IT band pain and bursitis. Her lateral knee would feel stiff and tight before a run; while it would be manageable during her run, it would swell up afterward, causing her discomfort and limiting her ability to train effectively.

Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that provides cushioning and reduces friction between tendons, ligaments, and bones. In Lisa’s case, her swollen bursa was causing pain and interfering with her running routine. She needed a solution that would allow her to run without discomfort and minimize post-exercise swelling.

After assessing her condition and discussing her needs, I recommended Lisa try using Evil Bone Water, a topical liniment designed to relieve fast-acting pain. Applying a patch to her knee while running wasn’t viable, as it would feel awkward and potentially interfere with her performance.

Lisa started incorporating Evil Bone Water into her pre- and post-run routine. She would apply the liniment to her IT band and lateral knee 15 minutes before running to reduce swelling and alleviate stiffness. Additionally, she would immediately apply it after her run to prevent post-exercise swelling and speed up her recovery.

To her amazement, Lisa found that Evil Bone Water provided her with the targeted, flexible relief she needed to continue running without discomfort. The liniment allowed her to use her knee freely and provided relief tailored to her exercise schedule. Thanks to the addition of Evil Bone Water to her routine, Lisa managed her IT band pain and bursitis effectively and continued her training without interruption.

Key Questions

Here are some questions that patients can consider to help determine whether to use patches or topical liniments for their pain:

Patches Questions

Is my pain worse at night or when I stop moving?
Does my pain feel better when I apply pressure, hold the affected area, or limit movement?
Am I looking for a mess-free, low-maintenance pain relief option?
Do I need consistent and long-lasting pain relief throughout the day or night?
Is my area of pain difficult to apply liniment or cream?

Topical Liniment Questions

Is my pain aggravated by exercise or during daily activities?
Do I need to move around a lot and require a flexible pain relief option?
Am I looking for fast-acting pain relief that can be applied before and after physical activities?

Finding the right pain relief solution tailored to your needs is crucial for improving your quality of life. You can make more informed decisions about your pain management strategy by understanding the unique benefits of topical liniments like Evil Bone Water and patches such as Dragontree Muscle Melt. Combining these products allows you to harness both advantages, providing rapid relief during the day and sustained, mess-free relief at night. As you explore these options, remember that the ultimate goal is to help you regain control over your pain and live a more comfortable, pain-free life.

Evil Bone Water: An In-Depth Review

Posted on May 11, 2023 by Valley Health Clinic - Pain Management

I. Introduction

Evil Bone Water is a handcrafted formulation of the traditional Chinese medicine Zheng Gu Shui by Mark Brinson at Saint Apothecary. As a topical pain relief solution, it is designed to alleviate pain and promote healing from injuries using high-quality, natural ingredients. At $40 per 4 oz bottle, Evil Bone Water is marketed towards individuals who prioritize quality and effectiveness in their natural pain relief products.

This comprehensive review aims to provide potential buyers with a thorough, unbiased evaluation of Evil Bone Water, detailing personal experiences and addressing concerns to help make an informed decision.

II. Product Description

Appearance and Design

Evil Bone Water is packaged in a heavy-duty 4 oz brown glass bottle to shield its contents from sun damage. The bottle’s design is visually appealing and user-friendly, with a spray top included for personal orders.

Key Features and Specifications

Fast-acting pain relief: Thanks to its alcohol base and potent volatile oils, Evil Bone Water starts working immediately upon application.
Strong heating and cooling sensations: These sensations contribute to the product’s pain-relieving properties.

Quick-drying formula: The product dries rapidly, making it ideal for use during or after treatments like gua sha or cupping without leaving a greasy residue.
Opens pores for improved absorption: Evil Bone Water enhances the effectiveness of other topical products when used in combination.

III. Personal Experience

Purchasing and Unboxing

Evil Bone Water can be purchased for wholesale and clinical use at Valley Health and for personal use at https://shop.valleyhealthclinic.com/products/evil-bone-water-zheng-gu-shui, both of which offer free shipping. Wholesale orders arrive in a box of 24 bottles without spray tops, while personal orders include a free spray top.

The 4 oz brown glass bottle is not only functional but also visually appealing, making it a suitable container for reuse after the product is finished. Users have reported repurposing the bottle as a plant mister or as a bathroom deodorizer by adding essential oils.

First Impressions

Upon first use, Evil Bone Water’s strong scent and deep yellow-brown color stand out. The aroma, reminiscent of menthol, camphor, and maple syrup, indicates the presence of powerful volatile oils essential to the product’s pain-relieving properties. The yellow color implies the presence of berberine, a bitter-tasting, yellow-colored compound found in various medicinal plants with antiviral, antibacterial, and blood sugar-regulating properties.

Usage and Performance

Application: Evil Bone Water can be massaged or sprayed directly onto the skin. If a spray top is not available, it is recommended to apply the product with a cotton ball to avoid spillage. Users can pinch the cotton ball between their fingers while massaging the affected area to ensure the liquid stays in place.

Performance and Quality: Due to its high concentration of volatile oils and alcohol base, Evil Bone Water provides rapid pain relief. Users can feel the product working immediately upon application. It also dries quickly, making it an ideal choice for use during or after treatments like gua sha or cupping without leaving a greasy residue. However, the alcohol base can cause a stinging sensation on cracked or open skin.

Issues and Challenges: Some users may find the product’s runny consistency difficult to manage, while others may be sensitive to its strong smell. Additionally, the alcohol base can cause stinging sensations on open or cracked skin.

Combining Evil Bone Water and Tibetan Foot Soaks

Combining Evil Bone Water and Tibetan Herbal Foot Soaks: A Powerful Solution for Diabetics and Foot Fungus Sufferers

For centuries, foot soaks have been a popular and effective way to promote relaxation, stress relief, and overall foot health. People with diabetes and foot fungus can benefit from foot soaks as they help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and soften the skin. This blog post will explore the advantages of combining Evil Bone Water, a traditional Chinese medicine remedy, with Tibetan Herbal Foot Soaks. We will also provide guidance on how to prepare an effective foot soak at home

Foot Soaks: A natural solution for diabetics and foot fungus patients

Improved circulation: Foot soaks, especially when using warm water, help dilate blood vessels and enhance blood flow to the feet and lower legs. This is particularly beneficial for those with diabetes, as the condition often results in poor circulation in the feet.

Reduced inflammation: Foot soaks can reduce inflammation, providing relief for swollen or achy feet. This is particularly helpful for individuals with diabetes and foot fungus.

Skin health: Foot soaks can soften and moisturize the skin, which is beneficial for people with dry or cracked skin on their feet. Adding ingredients such as Epsom salt, essential oils, or herbs to the foot soak can enhance these benefits and provide additional therapeutic effects.

The power of Evil Bone Water

Evil Bone Water is a traditional Chinese medicine remedy that has shown promising results in helping some people manage foot fungus. When combined with foot soaks, Evil Bone Water may provide additional antifungal benefits, making it an even more powerful ally in the fight against foot fungus.

The benefits of Tibetan Herbal Foot Soaks

Tibetan Herbal Foot Soaks have been used for centuries to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and improve foot health. They are particularly beneficial for people with conditions such as diabetes, which can cause poor circulation in the feet. Additionally, the herbs used in these foot soaks can provide additional therapeutic effects that can help with skin health and inflammation reduction.

Fill a basin or foot spa with warm water (make sure it’s not too hot, especially for diabetics who may have reduced sensation in their feet).
Add two tea bags of Tibetan Herbal Foot Soak to the water. (If you don’t have that, then try)
Add 1/2 cup of Epsom salt to the water and stir until dissolved.
Add a few drops of tea tree oil or lavender oil for their antifungal and soothing properties.
Add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for extra antifungal action.
Add 5-10 sprays of Evil Bone Water to the water until it is nice and yellow
Mix well
Soak your feet for 15-20 minutes.
Gently dry your feet with a clean towel, making sure to dry between the toes to prevent fungal growth thoroughly.
After the foot soak, apply Evil Bone Water to your feet and the affected areas, allowing it to dry naturally. This can further aid in managing foot fungus.

Conclusion

Foot soaks provide numerous benefits, from relaxation and stress relief to improved circulation and skin health.
