    Description

    Evil Bone Water

    A traditional Chinese herbal liniment used for generations to support recovery from muscle tension, bruising, overuse, sprains, and stubborn aches. Despite the dramatic name, “Evil Bone Water” is simply the English nickname for Zheng Gu Shui — meaning “Bone-Setting Water.”

    This fast-absorbing topical blend combines warming herbs, menthol, camphor, and traditional Chinese botanicals to create a cooling-then-warming sensation that helps invigorate circulation and temporarily relieve discomfort in overworked areas.

    A longtime favorite in martial arts, sports medicine, acupuncture, and bodywork settings for targeted muscular recovery.

    Why we love it at the office:
    Excellent for post-workout soreness, neck and shoulder tension, low back tightness, bruising, overuse injuries, and that “everything feels stuck” feeling after travel or training.

    Ideal for:
    • Muscle and joint discomfort
    • Bruising & recovery support
    • Sports and overuse soreness
    • Neck, shoulder & low back tension
    • Pre/post treatment muscle care

    Topical use only
    Traditional Chinese herbal liniment
    Cooling + warming herbal sensation
    3.4 fl oz / 100 ml


    Features

    It’s typically made by soaking a blend of Chinese herbs in alcohol. Common herbs include:
    Gu Sui Bu (Bone Knitting Herb) – thought to help bones heal.
    Dang Gui (Angelica root) – promotes blood circulation.
    Hong Hua (Safflower) – used to reduce pain and swelling.
    San Qi (Panax notoginseng) – said to stop bleeding and aid tissue repair.
    The exact recipe can vary, but all are aimed at circulation, reducing inflammation, and speeding recovery.


    How to use

    Applied topically (not for drinking), Evil Bone Water is used for:
    Bruises, sprains, strains
    Muscle soreness
    Joint pain
    Recovery after martial arts or sports injuries
    Safety Notes:
    It contains high-proof alcohol, so it should not be ingested.
    Not recommended for use on open wounds.
    As with many traditional remedies, evidence is mostly anecdotal and based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, though many athletes and martial artists swear by it.
