According to Dr Keith Souter ‘our senior years should be a time to look forward to, a time to ease back and enjoy life. Unfortunately it can also be a time when health problems, bereavements and all sorts of other issues crowd in to affect one’s sense of well-being’.
While many seniors are robust and vibrant, just as many find their energy reduced and they often have more trouble recovering from an injury, illness, sleep difficulties, loneliness and despair. Homoeopathy can be a great support with many of the issues faced by seniors.
