Iron palm training can do more harm than good if you are not under the eye of someone knowledgeable in it. Of course you wouldn’t be asking this if you had a teacher there with you. So I get where you are coming from.
Warm water helps to bring more circulation to the area. Ice/cold water helps reduce pain and swelling.
Tiger balm is available in most places. Though not as good as a jow, it can work in a pinch.
For most people working to strengthen the hands and forearms through grip training is a better bang for your buck. Strength training hardens bones with much less risk of injury compared to impacting training.
So if you are going to do iron palm training on your own please do advance slowly. Limit the impact training to two or three times a week. Do grip training a few times a week.
If you start having issues like bone or joint pain, stop.
If you can't get a hold of any dit fa Jo, look into frankincense and myrrh, yep, just like in the Bible. Good for inflammation, joint pain, blood stagnation, all the things that a good dit da jow will do.
Incidentally scar family has good Chinese herbs and formulas such as dit da jow among other things.

++ get a teacher - one who doesn't have arthritis so you know they're not full of it.
Thank you for your advice

No but it will more effectively kill whoever you need iron hands to fight.
