Forgemaster’s Iron Palm Dit Da Jow II

I have pretty intense chronic neck/shoulder pain, and I've found that using this before or after my pain management stretches really helps me get what I need from them.

You can sense the amount of work that's gone into this. Sometimes I like to re-read the write up while using S+S materia just to appreciate this and connect deeper with it. the Dit da Jow is wonderful and I've been applying it to my feet to help with restless legs. It's grounding and comforting. Thank you! Please keep making materia like this 🙂

One day, I hope to be like these reviewers who use it for working out/weight lifting, but right now I use it to get moving in the morning. My schedule is currently all over the place so this is excellent helping me stay up to date with my day to day. When I have used it and worked out, the endurance I have is astonishing. Not only physically, but mentally as well. I can’t wait until work settles down and I can have a proper daily routine and see what else it unlocks.

I am not at all athletic NOR am I particularly Martial… but DDJ is my favorite energetic armor in my toolkit. When I know I’m going to be in a situation that would normally overwhelm me, I apply DDJ to my solar plexus and shoulders and literally nothing bothers me. Once I knew I was going to be on my feet a lot and I applied DDJ before and at the end of the day I felt fine, when normally I would be hobbling around. This one is making me change my mind about Mars!

I missed the boat on the first dit da jow released and am so pleased I was able to secure a few bottles of this one. One bottle was given to a friend with a shoulder injury and while it hasn't helped his body reattach the bicep tendon it has been a wonderful assist in recovering ROM and building all the other muscles and tendons of the shoulder / rotator cuff.

I own an acupuncture / wellness clinic in Chicago and I've also begun using it on clients with all kinds of aches and pains - back pain, ankle pain, elbow pain, knee pain, shoulder pain - and am so pleased with the results! Using it less for arthritis or chronic issues and more for muscle / tendon pain of an acute nature, at this point. Big fan!

Very much a great aid for working out and building meaningful muscles! I use this to get into a workout, targeting areas I really want to focus and more or less going for an intuitive workout, then use the asclepius magnesium spray to come down from the energetic spike. A really great team!

Honestly, I got this to see if it would help with some stubborn chronic pain from a mysterious injury/inflamed issue with my psoas on one side (basically the entire side - very difficult to ignore). It was angry and refused to relent despite trying many approaches (rest, stretch, acupuncture, etc.). By the second day of applying it once daily, still engaging in gentle stretching - I was (finally!) beginning to feel some relief. I think a more undercurrent-like effect was being able to figure out what was potentially causing the pain to get worse, like I could hear my body better. I noticed it was easier to ground into the ability to actually release, almost like a stamina for the yin side of what I needed. I am still recovering and being aware of the area, but it is *significantly* better than it was.

Have been a loyal S+S customer for two years, but can't rave highly enough about this product. Austin chose a winning formula. I apply this before and after every workout, and have managed to return to, and then surpass, personal records in weightlifting I hit in 2019, when I was still in my twenties! Increases blood flow, decreases pain.

I've been using the Mars-Jupiter materia to aid in some fitness projects and Dit Da Jow II is the perfect companion - helping to smooth out adhesions, knotted up muscles and achy joints. I'm so glad this came back after hearing so many good things about the first iteration that I missed.

I have Mars in Capricorn natally, and one of the drawbacks of that is that I have a tendency to work myself into burnout really quickly, even when trying NOT to. This goes for working out as well as my career. Forgemaster's Iron Palm Dit Da Jow II shows how much aspects matter-- I don't have that Taurus Moon-Jupiter conjunction trining the exalted Mars that this materia has. Taurus Moon-Jupiter says, "Yes, you can grind, but you are going to rest and recover when you need it, so you can keep grinding later." It takes away pain, but instead of just pushing past your limits like, say, Antares, it absolutely will let you sleep... because you NEED it. Possibly my favorite materia I've ever used.
