Suggest Natural Remedies For Difficulty In Sleeping In An Elderly Person
My mother is 88 and has difficulty sleeping. She had knee surgery a couple of months ago. I took her to the doctor on Friday and the nurse practitioner ordered blood work. He did not want to prescribe anything until after the results come back. I was wondering about natural remedies. Thanks!
