Plum blossom

I am still trying to find all my art materials. They were spread about three rooms and the garage.

It was rather warm today to be sorting through stuff!

I was sent a PDF all different kinds of remedies you can use for pain, by daughter in Australia who is having some health problems like myself now. I was quite surprised to find that I had used or I've done rather pretty well most of them in this PDF over the years

I found something I haven't used, and that was herbal wormwood patches...

I thought they'll never be any good. Anyway, there was a load on Amazon at the moment so I chose the cheapest ones. I picked them up this morning. And tried them out this afternoon. I thought I'd read some reviews to say that you could leave them on for a few days but the actual instructions said only eight hours and then take them off and then put a fresh one on. Well, that was most certainly going to work out rather costly.

It was mainly for my knees I want them because I get very sharp neuropathic pains in my joints and my extremities. And the short sharp pains in my knee joints cause my knees to give away and for me to fall over.

I put patch under each knee this afternoon and immediately the short sharp neuropathic pains in my knees stopped.

I was getting the same pains in my wrists, which was affecting me trying to sort out stuff. So I cut a patch in half, more or less, and I put a piece on each wrist. It stopped the pain in each wrist and the short sharp pains. And it was easier to use my hands to do things, they were too clumsy before.

I asked ChatGPT to do some research for me because I couldn't find the reviews which I had read that said they used them for several days at a time without taking the patches off. Anyway, ChatGPT found the reviews and he found some more information and said that some people found they had allergic reactions to the patches, and they were itchy, but other people had absolutely no problems and could wear them for several days at a time. Which would most certainly make it a bit more affordable.

So at the moment I'm experimenting with this and at the moment I'm very encouraged with how much they can help me.

I shall be cutting them in half next time I put a new one on to see if that is enough to work without having to use the whole patch....

Creative is plum blossom... but I wasn't very happy the way it turned out. I was a bit tired when I started it, and I should've probably have left it for today. I used my Art Kure pens.


Night night....
