Evil Bone Water
Evil Bone Water (EBW) — Zheng Gu Shui
Evil Bone Water, or Zheng Gu Shui, is a traditional Chinese herbal liniment made with herbs including San Qi, cinnamon, camphor, menthol, Japanese knotweed, and angelica. Its alcohol base provides a refreshing, quick-drying application, making it easy to apply to targeted areas of the skin. The name Zheng Gu Shui translates roughly to “bone-setting water,” reflecting its roots in traditional Chinese herbal liniments used in the care of injuries and physical trauma. Despite the name, this is a topical herbal liniment—not a treatment for broken bones.

-
