A study conducted on a sample of 3981 individuals aged over 70 with chronic health conditions, predominantly hypertension and insomnia, treated by homeopathic practitioners in primary healthcare institutions in Germany and Switzerland, and published in BMC Geriatrics in 2010, revealed that their symptoms consistently improved with the introduction of homeopathic remedies, and these benefits were sustained over 24 months.
Za dugotrajno liječenje starijih osoba s kroničnim stanjima, homeopatska medicinska terapija smatra se povoljnom i sigurnom. Homeopatski lijekovi su netoksični, bez opasnosti od predoziranja. Pacijenti se u homeopatiji liječe holistički, a lijekovi se prilagođavaju svakoj osobi umjesto bolesti. S homeopatijom, imunološki sustav starijih osoba postaje jači i manja je vjerojatnost razvoja infektivnih stanja. Također pomaže u stanjima pripreme za operaciju i postooperativnom oporavku te u kontroli simptoma depresije, demencije i nesanice.
