These changes occurred gradually. For the first two days, I didn't feel anything—none of the stinging, swelling, or sticky sensation I had expected. After asking about it, I learned that these were plant extracts from traditional Chinese medicine, not chemicals. After a week, I simply noticed that the areas where the patches were applied no longer felt as sore or tight. By the second week, I actually slept soundly through the night for the first time without waking up from leg cramps. These changes all happened quietly and imperceptibly.

The second change came from a sudden thought: I suddenly felt like going out for a walk, which took my son by surprise. Before that, I had almost never gone out for a walk. It wasn't until later that I realized I was no longer in a daze due to fatigue, and my improved sleep had left me feeling energetic. This led me to spontaneously go for walks and participate in community activities. Before I knew it, I had gotten into the habit of taking early morning walks, and in the evenings, I would even carry my granddaughter to community events.
