A Mother's Quest
From Sickness to Health with JustLilac
What Would You Do When Your Kids Are Falling Sick Every Other Week?
From: Lillian, Founder of JustLilac
As a mother of two, one of the challenges that I have faced many years ago, my children were constantly falling sick and they were suffering from persistent sinus issues.
Our lives revolved around weekly visits to the clinic, hefty medical bills and a relentless cycle of medications. This routine was hard on their young bodies.
Am I doing everything I can to protect them?
Here’s the thing, it wasn’t just one child that was frequently falling ill. It was both of them.
I couldn’t help but question myself whether I was doing anything wrong!
That led me to go around and ask my friends for advice and I tried everything. I went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, we tried acupuncture, we tried the bitter chinese medicines, but nothing worked. We tried supplements like Fish Oil and Vitamin C and still nothing.
I even listened to some of the advice I thought were rather silly, such as no late-night showers, switching off the air-condition at night despite our hot Singapore humid weather, and even redirecting the fan that was blowing directly on the head.
I had to harden my heart to tell my kids ‘No Air-Con tonight’ despite seeing the sweat accumulating on their heads.
But despite all my efforts, nothing worked. They would still fall sick
Am I A Good Mother?
Am I really doing everything I can to protect them?
And it doesn’t help that my parents are always questioning me, questioning my efforts. I know that they have good intentions, but I’m already stressed up as it is having to take care of my kids.
Not to mention, I had to constantly take leave from work to bring them to the doctors, a
ttending to them all night, and not being able to sleep in peace worrying about them.
I feel like I have already given my best but nothing seems to be working.
The Hidden Enemy
I knew I had to do something. I went online to search for the causes of these symptoms, the flu and sinuses. I must have started scouring Google after dinner, and found out there is such a thing as ‘Indoor Air Quality’. I have only heard of PSI or ‘Outdoor Air Quality’, I didn’t know that Indoor Air Quality matters as well. I went on to search about it and found an interesting article regarding Indoor Air Quality. As I read it intently, finding out the hidden enemy within these illnesses is Black Mold. The light bulb in my head turned on, it became more of finding the root cause of these illnesses rather than just treating the problem that we have on hand. I rushed to tell my husband, that’s when I heard the ‘Woohoo’ Bird. And I realised I needed to get my kids ready for school.
Healthier Children, Happier Home
Today, I am glad to say that my children are enjoying better health, and my family no longer faces the constant dread of illnesses. My goal is to make JustLilac the foundation of better health for families in Singapore.
Founding JustLilac: Helping Mothers To Ensure That They Have Done Enough
Since then, I founded JustLilac, a company that is not just dedicated in improving Air Quality, but in tackling the root causes of many health issues. My team and I have started to bring in a wider range of products, everyone of them with one core purpose – to solve the root cause and not just the symptoms.
