What’s in it?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Testimonials

Torn ligament behind knee. EBW is amazing for my pain, soreness and aids with my healing process.

Works great for sore wrists and arms from a long day of typing. Does not sure the issue but definitely helps you from thinking about the pain for a bit. Also great on neck/back before bed.

It helped bed sores when I got out of the hospital 

EBW is an amazing pain reliever. I love doing a lot of yard work. I find there is a healing process in muscles that are over worked. I apply EBW 3 times daily, keeping the area of application warm. I believe in this product 100%! Thank you!

One of our front desk attendants just came by and said her husband strained his back and was in excruciating pain. She took him to a chiropractic doctor, then the ER with no relief. Then she sprayed EBW on it, rubbed it in, and the pain went away. Great stuff!

This product penetrates very deeply which is quite impressive to me right now. I am on two weeks of breaking my ribs and this is some of the first relief I’ve had. I highly recommend this!

Love this formula from your company. It is the best available, in my opinion. It tends to fly off of my shelves!!

I benefit greatly from the relief from pain and soreness. The sprayer makes application so easy. I tend to get bursitis…the EBW brings relief. I feel confident as I work with this solution, I will be free of steroid injections!

I thought it worked so well that I sent it as a gift to my brother on the east coast who is an athlete and trains athletes. He said he loves it and it’s so weird how it works so well! He was just using Tiger Balm before, but confirms that this is a whole other level of product that is far superior. This is definitely made from high quality herbs.

I have had chronic neck issues for years. EBW has given me pain free days, weeks, months! In the beginning, after I take a shower I spray it on and rub it in. Then two more times during the day. Now I use it when needed. Heaven!

EBW works for both my husband and I. I have trigger fingers and chronic neck pain. My husband has knee pain and arthritic fingers. We both use EBW because it truly relieves pain. We both prefer to spray directly to our skin then rub it in. The relief is immediate. We have shared with friends and they too have enjoyed relief from pain for knee and back pain. It’s fantastic!

Since my original purchase, I must say it has changed my and my family’s lives forever!!! I had my ACL replaced years ago and have always had inflammation and pain. I am no longer suffering from those symptoms. I was so amazed how the product works, that I bought a bottle for each member of my family! Our family gives EBW the highest of ratings and believe everyone should have a bottle on hand to speed up recuperation and healing from life and training!

My bruise started to fade right away. AND I used the product on some varicose veins in my leg, and those improved in appearance as well. 

I have never had bone pain before until now. I use it on the Dorsum of my foot since a fall 2 weeks ago. I have improved a lot but I know it works because I shared this formula with a friend and she loves it! It also smells good and it relieves her heel pain. She has tried many other medicine before, but this one does the trick every time!

My 1st experience with Evil Bone Water was with an acupuncturist who used it on a broken toe of mine. It healed fast and this is my 2nd purchased bottle because it really works! My whole family uses it now for all sorts of aches and pains to great success! I believe in this product!

Quite helpful for osteoarthritis in my hands and knees. Provides some relief for diabetic neuropathy.

Using it to soak a very painful heel. It seems to continue working after the soaking.

I have a patient who has vaginal pain. We tried everything between PT, acupuncture, and herbs. Finally, I said to her to try applying the EBW topically, internally. And she just reported to me today that she is starting to feel better! She said it burned like crazy for 20 minutes the first time. The second time was better!

I don’t know where weird EBW testimonials go, but I have an elderly patient spraying it on one foot for Athlete’s Foot between her toes. That foot’s toenails are growing like 3 times faster than the other foot. She has super long, yellow talons now.

 I don’t know if there are other places in the country, but in Maine there is a huge infestation of brown-tailed moths. Their hairs create crazy intensely itchy rashes and it is a huge problem that no one seems to be able to find a solution for. Makes people absolutely miserable. I am super proud that EBW is proving itself once again to prevail above all else! 

So, I got stung by yellowjackets yesterday on both of my ankles. Last night, they itched so bad it kept me up. I tried all sorts of creams, baking soda, etc. Nothing helped. Today, itchy as crap, I thought I need something that feels cooling to help.. So I sprayed EBW on it. Don’t you know. It helped!!!

I just had my second C-Section in April with a rough recovery - baby came a month early and was in NICU, then my incision got infected, and then my toddler kicked me during a diaper change and the incision opened back up! Anyway, I’m all closed up now and just doused the scar in EBW last night for the first time and it felt sooooo good to have all of that tension melt away. Like I can’t even describe how good that felt! I did this with my first scar and got to the point where I was pain free, so hoping to get back to that point again.  I heard about EBW from the Qiological Podcast and I was intrigued but skeptical as I’m a new acudoc! I ordered one bottle to try it out, and at the time I had some post-shaving skin issue under my armpits. I have tried many natural remedies but they only help temporarily and the itch and redness would reappear. Since I started using EBW, the itch disappeared instantly, and the bright red changed into a darker color. It also dried the spot and allowed it time to heal! I was introduced to EBW when I was unable to walk for 6 months due to compressed lumbar support, pinched sciatic nerve, and pulled muscles in my right hip and leg. This has helped me to get back on my feet with medical massage therapy. Now I’m back to traveling the nation, performing music, hiking mountains, working construction. When I’m on the road, EBW helps keep me relaxed and moving.

My Acudoc recommended thai for my arthritis, and carpal tunnel. It has been a life saver and takes me out of flare ups. Now we use it for everything from bug bites (the best for fire ants) to sunburn! Just get it, it should be in everyone’s medicine cabinet. Shoot, it’s in my purse! My teenager is HOOKED. Recently, she’s used it on a fingernail with fungus and a possible chemical burn. She grabbed the Evil Bone Water and it really helped her pain. Used it on a dive trip when she cut her foot on coral. Yep, we use it on everything. Thanks Mark!!
