Ghost Jiao is the deepest-reaching liniment in the Fu Medicinals line. It is black, it carries a blend of herbs and resins found in no other jiao, and it was built to penetrate past muscle to the sinew, the periosteum, and the bone. Use it for bone bruises, sprains, stubborn joint pain, and the kind of chronic stiffness that other topicals never quite reach.
What It's Used For
Bone Bruises & Deep Impact — reaches the periosteum, where surface topicals stop
Sprains & Acute Tweaks — a first-reach option for the sudden wrong move
Chronic Joint Pain — formulated around nodules and thickened joint capsules
Arthritis Discomfort — repeatedly praised by customers for stubborn, long-standing joint pain
After Trigger Point Therapy — an excellent follow-up application to bodywork sessions
Home & Travel First Aid — one bottle covers both the acute and the chronic
Why Ghost Jiao Is Different
Most jiaos pick a lane. Ghost Jiao does not. For lack of a better word it is the shotgun of the line, built to work on both acute injury and old, settled complaints. The target it was designed around is stubborn Bi where phlegm is present — the pain that has stopped moving, hardened into nodules, and taken up residence in the joint capsule.
That is also why it is black. The formula leans on herbs that break up chronic, stuck phlegm and on a resin blend that most liniments skip entirely. Since its introduction it has become one of the most talked-about formulas Fu Medicinals makes.
On the scent: Ghost Jiao has a notably strong aroma in the bottle. It dissipates almost immediately once rubbed into the skin.
Key Herbs
Hua Jiao (Sichuan Peppercorn, Fagara)
One of the most common spices in Chinese cuisine, particularly in Sichuan cooking, where it is part of a traditionally anti-fungal regional diet. In Chinese medicine this slightly spicy, warm herb is used for its warming action — it raises the overall temperature of a formula — and is traditionally valued for addressing phlegm. Its volatile oil has been studied for anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Gu Sui Bu (Drynaria Rhizome)
Known in Chinese medicine as the "mender of shattered bones." Works on tendon, ligament, and periosteum — the connective layer Ghost Jiao was specifically designed to reach.
Ru Xiang & Mo Yao (Frankincense & Myrrh)
A traditional resin pairing used for pain, inflammation, and moving out toxins, and a classic combination for non-healing wounds. Mo Yao invigorates the blood and dispels blood stasis, reduces swelling, alleviates pain, and promotes the generation of flesh.
About the Resins
Myrrh is the oleo gum resin drawn from Commiphora myrrha, native to parts of East Africa and the Middle East. When a wound penetrates the bark and reaches the sapwood, the tree bleeds resin. Frankincense is gathered the same way. These are the materials that give Ghost Jiao its depth and its color.
Small-Batch Craftsmanship
Fu Medicinals takes pride in meticulous, small-batch production. Every liniment and balm is handmade in Oregon using organic and locally-sourced ingredients wherever possible. Herbs are traditionally crushed by hand with mortar and pestle — a process that maximizes their medicinal properties from the start.
The alcohol used in our jiao infusions is distilled at the base of Mount Hood, ensuring the purity and potency that sets Fu Medicinals apart from mass-produced alternatives.
Fu Medicinals is not about one-size-fits-all solutions. Our products are designed to address specific levels of bodily damage and systems, following the principles of Chinese Medicine. Whether you have a medical diagnosis or are working from your symptoms, the range offers a targeted choice for your condition.
