“Dit” means to fall or get hurt. “Da” means to hit. “Dit Da Jow” is the liniment martial artists use to heal bruises, aches, and pain. So what does this have to do with social justice?
A topic that’s been on my mind lately is how in Chinese medicine, we often delve into the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. But what about its connection to the broader societal landscape?
In this episode, I share my thoughts and theories as well as a little history behind this ancient Chinese medicine.
