what constitutes elderly? - for itec purposes

[DeshawnTrump]

hello all,

i'm probably going to answer my own question, but i would like an experienced opinion too

at what age to itec classify elderly?

one of my case studies is a lady of retirement age although she is a work colleague (1 day a week) she is active (regular gym/ yoga classes) and she volunteers at least one other day at a local primary school
she is in her mid- late 60s should i bracket her as elderly and half the quantity of e/oils in the blend?

just interested in anyone's view.....

Hi..........60 is pensionable age for a woman but many women are fit and active and what i would call middle aged at this particular time in their life. Elderly is really over the age of 70 maybe 75 but as for reducing the dose of oils??? i have clients who are spitely "young" things at 80 who eat wonderfully and drink more water than i do.....so halving their dose is a no no for me..........each client is an individual and i would only begin to do this if they had multiple ailments and frail x .......
