Night 1-2: Initial Response
The first two applications yielded the most dramatic visual results, with patches turning very dark brown, almost black. I experienced mild warmth during wear and noted slight improvement in morning energy. Sleep quality remained largely unchanged, though I did fall asleep more quickly than usual both nights.
Night 3-5: Adaptation Phase
By the third night, I noticed the patches didn't darken quite as intensely—shifting to a medium brown rather than the initial black. Physically, I began experiencing more vivid dreams and woke feeling notably more refreshed. Morning foot heaviness that I typically experience seemed diminished, and I found myself less reliant on coffee to start my day.
Night 6-8: Stabilization
The patches consistently turned a lighter shade of brown during this period. Sleep deepened substantially, with fewer nighttime awakenings. I documented increased daytime energy that persisted through afternoon slumps when I typically experience fatigue. Minor chronic ankle discomfort that I've had for months seemed less noticeable.
Night 9-10: Cumulative Effects
By the final nights, the patches developed only a light tan discoloration. Morning mental clarity became the most noticeable benefit, with a distinct feeling of alertness upon waking that normally takes hours and caffeine to achieve. Physical resilience improved, with less soreness after my regular workout routine.
Throughout the ten-day period, I maintained detailed notes on various aspects of my well-being to track patterns that might correlate with the patch usage. Perhaps the most consistent observation was the progressive lightening of patch discoloration over time. According to Purisaki's literature, this gradual reduction in darkness supposedly indicates a decreasing toxin load as the body becomes cleaner with consistent use. While I can't verify the scientific validity of this claim, the visual pattern was undeniable.
Sleep metrics tracked through my smartwatch showed a modest but measurable improvement in deep sleep duration, increasing from an average of 1.2 hours per night before the experiment to 1.7 hours by the final nights. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep remained relatively unchanged, while light sleep slightly decreased proportionally. Total sleep duration wasn't significantly different, but the quality composition shifted toward more restorative deep sleep phases.
Energy fluctuations throughout the day showed interesting patterns as well. I typically experience pronounced afternoon energy dips around 2-3 PM, which remained present but noticeably less severe by the end of the ten-day period. Morning alertness improved more dramatically than afternoon or evening energy levels, creating a more balanced energy profile throughout the day rather than the peaks and valleys I normally experience.
One unexpected observation was a reduction in foot odor. As someone who occasionally deals with this issue after long days, I noticed that even after full workdays, my feet seemed fresher with consistent patch use. Whether this was due to some antibacterial property of the patches, improved foot health, or simply coincidence is difficult to determine, but it was a welcome side effect nonetheless.
