Your starter guide to light-activated healing without confusion or overwhelm

If you’re here, you’ve likely just started your patch journey—or you’re curious about how these little discs of light-activated magic actually work. Either way, welcome. I created this guide to walk you through the basics so you can use your patches with confidence (not just hope you’re doing it right).

Because here’s the thing: These patches are simple to use—but they’re powerful. And like anything powerful, consistency and intention matter.

Let’s walk through the basics so you can start seeing results.

Step 1: Wear Patches for 12 Hours On / 12 Hours Off

Each patch is activated by your body’s natural infrared heat and light. Once applied to the skin, it reflects specific wavelengths back into the body, triggering biological responses—without introducing drugs or chemicals.

🔁 Most patches follow a 12-on / 12-off cycle, but some are meant for daytime while others are best used at night.

Daytime Patches

• X39 (stem cell activation)

• X49 (muscle, strength, heart, and metabolism support)

• AEON (inflammation + stress reduction)

• Glutathione (detox + immune support)

• Carnosine (muscle recovery + brain support)

• Energy Enhancer (natural energy boost, helps with fat burning)

• SP6 (appetite, cravings, metabolic balance)

• IceWave (pain relief)

🌙 Nighttime Patches

• Silent Nights (sleep support)

• Alavida (anti-aging + skin + pineal gland/melatonin support)

Why Hydration (and Electrolytes) Matter So Much When Patching

When you use light-activated patches, you’re not just triggering healing—you’re asking your cells to communicate, detox, regenerate, and do the work. That process requires water—but not just any water. Your cells also need minerals to carry those electrical signals effectively.

Think of electrolytes like the spark plugs for cellular communication. Without them, the light signals from your patches may not be received as efficiently—and your detox pathways may get backed up.

Here’s what I recommend:

💡 Boost Your Mineral Support With:

• Celtic Sea Salt – add a pinch to your water to help remineralize it

• Coconut Water – great natural source of potassium and hydration

• Dr. Berg’s Electrolyte Powder – high potassium, no sugar, great for daily use

• LifeWave’s Cellergize – formulated to support energy and detox while patching

Dehydration or low minerals is one of the most common reasons people feel tired, foggy, or irritated while patching. Supporting your electrolytes can help you feel more energy, reduce detox reactions, and make the whole experience more effective.

Step 2: Recommended Patch Placement Guide

There are specific acupuncture points recommended for each patch—but you also have flexibility. If you’re drawn to a certain area or have pain/tension somewhere, go with your gut. These patches are incredibly forgiving.

Step 3: Be Consistent (Even If You Don’t Feel It Yet)

These patches work at the cellular level—and sometimes the most powerful changes happen under the surface before you ever “feel” something.

Some people feel shifts in 24–48 hours. Others take a few weeks. That doesn’t mean it’s not working. It means your body is doing deep healing—and that takes time.

Track your changes weekly:

• Energy

• Sleep

• Mood

• Pain

• Inflammation

• Hormones

• Skin

• Digestion

• Cycles

Write down the small wins. They’ll add up faster than you think.

Bonus Tips for Best Results

• Skin irritation? Try using a thin Band-Aid or medical tape to create a buffer—or place the patch on light clothing (yes, it still works).

• Rotate placements daily to avoid overstimulating one energy point.

• Pair AEON with detox patches to soften symptoms.
