Mother’s concoction cures kid of eczema
A woman, whose infant was suffering from acute eczema, brewed a herbal recipe in her kitchen to help her daughter after conventional treatments failed. The “miracle” cure is now earning her up to 100,000 pounds a year. Lula Balmond’s eczema was so horrific and painful that she had to be swathed in bandages to help her sleep every night. Realising that conventional treatments could be doing more harm than good, her mother concocted her own cure in kitchen — and it worked. The doctors had told the infant’s mother Natalie Balmond that her condition would necessitate a two-week hospitalisation.
Lula is now 14, and the cream, a combination of soothing oils and herbs available on prescription, is helping Natalie and her business to earn up to £100,000 a year, the Daily Mail reported. Balmond, 43, said: “Developing my ointment really was a last resort. Life with Lula’s eczema had become unbearable. Normal life had become impossible. “Her skin was so sore, she often cried herself to sleep. Yet, although we saw various doctors and specialists, even changing Lula’s diet and using Chinese herbs, no treatment they suggested seemed to help.”
“Many of the creams contained strong steroids that actually hurt Lula to apply and I became increasingly worried about the potential long-term side effects,” she said. Her breakthrough came when a friend gave her a book about herbs. Natalie, who lives with husband Mark, 46, an actor in Brighton, began studying the ones known to alleviate skin problems. —
