Natural Adhesive/glue?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I could find natural adhesive? I am going to need to

have some medical tape on my skin for a while, and I'd like to use something

natural cause whatever is in medical tape seems too toxic for me. I have no

idea what ingredients they use and I wouldn't want to add to my toxic load, but

I'm having problems finding anything like this online.

Can I cook my own glue on all natural ingredients? There are some recipes

online but they use sugar so that's not an option for me either.

I am not a doc, my email is our initials.

I too cannot handle the adhesive. They have something that is actually a silk.

I have had c-sections and they have used this for me. It is the only thing that

I have ever had adhesive/type wise that I have never reacted to. It is more

natural. Docs aren't super fond of it because they think everything has to be

super sticky. They worked great for me in a major surgery and lasted for a

couple of days. Good luck and hope that this was helpful

You didn't say what part of your anatomy. If you are wrapping your hand or leg,

for instance, you can overlap gauze then place the tape over it to hold the

gauze in place.

OH, that sounds very interesting. Do you have a link to it or so?

I could be mistaken, but I heard that most, if not all, adhesives have

gluten in them. Perhaps you are sensitive to that? I believe that even a

homemade glue would use flour in it as well.

I'm sorry, I don't...An OBGYN told me about it 12 years ago. I just mentioned

it to others in the past years and they all seemed to know what I was asking

for.
