Heart Formula External Liniment

This is a very special formula that I am sharing with my loyal Tae Kwon Do Times readers. In most all tournament sparring, in almost any contact sport and even everyday accidents the heart area is a vulnerable target. The heart is approximately the size of a fist. There are many dim mak areas near the heart. One of the most vulnerable areas is directly above where the heart sits in the chest. The heart has a reset time of approximately 1/100th of a second. If hit at the exact time just before this reset, death can occur. If the timing is off by a millisecond, or if the strike is off the mark, too strong or too weak, the result of death is less likely.

There have been instances where a perfectly timed strike just above the heart during this "reset" period has caused the heart to electrically divorce itself from the rest of the body's electrical system. The result is the heart fillibrates or "quivers" uselessly until death within minutes.

In ancient times, paramedics did not exist with heart electrical "jumpers" to save the heart. In ancient times according to the legend passed down orally, the monks would have this heart jow pre-made in advance for just such an emergency. Tui Na (Chinese massage) was administered to the heart and lung areas as a means to get the bioelectric connection returned to normal. Mix the ingredients in a half-gallon of vodka or gin and let set for a year. Six weeks is ok, but a year or more is better. Learn shiatsu and other types of authentic massage techniques that apply to the heart and lung areas. Have some handy in the dojo or kwoon. Take some with you to tournaments. Remember this formula is passed to you for historical purposes only. We claim no medical value. Always consult your Western and Oriental Eastern doctors and a qualified licensed Chinese herbalist for contraindications and side effects.

I like to rub some on my heart area to strengthen the heart and lung areas. I feel the chi immediately. Due to space limitations, I will merely list the ingredients and their weights as well as the page number they appear in Bensky's Chinese Herbal Materia Medica (revised edition.) The expensive ingredient in this formula is bezoar or (cow gall stones.) Using high-grade saffron at $300 an ounce will also raise the price considerably. The formula I am listing cost me $150 to fill. Remember, in modern times certain ingredients will need to be substituted intelligently. This list is hundreds of years old and only meant for historical insights as to why the monks would have thought this herbal list had merit. Alternative medicine may be mainstream, but always consult your doctor (western and eastern,) along with a licensed Chinese herbalist for any side effects or contraindications. Call me at (619) 766-9256 if you have any questions or cannot get the formula filled.
