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. Despite the name, this is simply a topical herbal liniment for everyday use.

Common Uses

Traditionally applied as a topical liniment before and after physical activity, to areas of muscle tension, and as part of a warm-up or cool-down routine.
