Allergy to adhesive

To start, what are you using the dressings for? what it is them specifically and how often are you needing to do this? There are many pain patches within Chinese Medicine and they all contain quite strong blood moving herbs. Because of their nature, using them too often will develop other problems like local reactions to the herbs. It&#39s best to try to treat the underlying reason you are needing these in a deeper way if possible than relying on patches to manage the issues.

I treated the adhesive on the dressing using Sandi Radomski&#39s protocol - that is, while holding the material, laser spraining each ear, then testing my response to the dressing with the kinesiology pendulum test. I also tested each meridian&#39s alarm point, and treated any that were still reactive after laser spraying my ears.

That calmed the reactivity to some degree.

I also consulted with a dermatologist who recommended a "Duoderm thin dressing" that she said people she treated who were sensitive to adhesive were usually able to tolerate. And in fact, I am doing much better with this dressing. Turns out it is also used to treat dicubitis (bed sores).

One advantage of consulting with a dermatologist was finding out that, while my sensitivity to adhesive was not familiar to the hospital dialysis staff, it is apparently common enough that this physician has encountered it. I found this somewhat comforting. As a "highly sensitive" individual it can be challenging to inhabit that role so consistently.

Thanks for your suggestions. I, too, am a Tong Ren practitioner. I&#39ve made a note of your point suggestions. I&#39ve had good luck treating this with Sandi Radomski&#39s protocol, as well as changing to a dressing with a different adhesive.
