Q: Do Ninja use any special training liniments?
The Ninja use a three liniment method called Fushite, the Immortal hand conditioning. The immortal hand conditioning liniments are designed to turn the hands into the most efficient striking weapons they can become. The process is long, but the results are amazing.

These herbs are combined and then ground into a fine powder. Mix the powder with a fifth of brandy. Seal and age for 3 weeks. Apply the liniment to the body weapons before and after conditioning practice. The liniment causes a warm sensation , and a reddening of the skin is a natural occurrence.
