The pain I felt as a father watching my daughter screaming in agonising  pain day in day out. That was life for almost 3 long years. 

Maria suffers from a  debilitating condition called topical steroid withdrawal symptom also known as TSW. Like most families my first cry for help was to go to the doctors then dermatologists to help Maria get her life back.

The solution by the doctors was a disappointment; it relied mainly on prescribing steroids and moisturisers, which provided a temporary relief until they became ineffective, leaving Maria to endure more agony and pain once again. The doctor’s only recourse was to increase the dosage of steroids, perpetuating an endless cycle of steroid usage and havoc on Marias Skin.

It felt like the doctors weren’t listening, and they were reluctant to admit that steroids were harming my daughters skin. I was fed up and felt utterly helpless, so out of desperation I began researching natural remedies that would work with the body.

I was determined to find a way to alleviate my daughter’s pain and discomfort.
