    Boiron


    In 1932 in France, twin brothers and pharmacists Jean and Henri Boiron set out to fulfill a growing demand posed by a group of physicians: develop the necessary manufacturing expertise to prepare reliable homeopathic medicines for their patients.


    Today, Boiron still prides itself on its quality manufacturing as it has grown to be the world leader in homeopathy. With 3,700 employees, 19 subsidiaries and distribution in more than 50 countries, this pharmaceutical laboratory remains independent. However, it’s still operated by the Boiron family who are passionate about the benefits of homeopathic medicines. 


    Boiron is best known for Oscillococcinum™, the #1 over-the-counter flu medicine in France. On average, Oscillococcinum users recommend the medicine to 10.5 people. Boiron’s other flagship brand is its Arnicare™ line of pain relievers.


    The company feels a strong obligation to the environment. Even though homeopathic medicines require only a small amount of the source materials, Boiron makes every effort to reduce its impact on the environment. Most Boiron medicines containing plant species are wild harvested. Only a few of the plant species used are farm grown to avoid overharvesting.  All plants used are harvested under the recommendations of the World Health Organization as well as Boiron’s strict guidelines. This helps ensure the sustainability of the plant species used in the medicines.

            


    Other environmental initiatives focus on fair trade practices and responsible packaging. Boiron’s cardboard and plastic packaging, shipping containers, process chemicals and computer equipment are all recycled locally to reduce transportation costs and stimulate the local economy. Waste water generated during the manufacturing process is also pretreated on-site to avoid any potential negative effects on the environment.


    While the majority of manufacturing takes place in France, the pharmaceutical-grade products meet high U.S. standards from the Food and Drug Administration, drug Good Manufacturing Practices and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.


    Boiron offers a variety of educational tools, including the free "Boiron Medicine Finder" app. In only three clicks, users can find the right homeopathic medicine to relieve more than 450 symptoms of self-treatable conditions.

    When life’s little aches and pains happen, homeopath Joette Calabrese suggests having single blue tube medicines like Arnica montana, Apis mellifica, Nux vomica and Ledum palustre on hand to quickly address symptoms. No homeopathic first aid kit is complete without Arnica montana, made from the Mountain daisy. Whether you’re feeling achy after starting a new workout routine or you’ve bruised your foot after hitting it on the coffee table, Arnica can offer relief without any expected side effects or interactions with other medications.* And when swelling from allergies or an insect bite occurs, try Apis mellifica.* To specifically address mosquito bites, use Ledum palustre, the homeopathic form of the  Wild rosemary.* Another common complaint among many are stomach upsets and Nux vomica can offer relief for digestive issues caused by overindulging of food or drink.*  


    To ensure its Arnicare line of pain relieving gel, cream, ointment, pellets and tablets are of the highest quality, Boiron takes special care in harvesting the source of the brand’s active ingredient: the Mountain daisy (Arnica montana). The harvest takes place each summer in the French Alps from select wild areas far from industrial and urban spaces. Boiron only harvests 30 percent of a picking site’s potential to help preserve the species. For more than 20 years, Boiron has partnered with professionals trained in botany and how to handle the delicate Arnica plant. Flexibility is built into this vital undertaking to adapt to weather changes that affect the harvest. Once the plants are picked, they are delivered in refrigerated trucks to Boiron’s laboratory within 48 hours. When the plants arrive at the lab, they undergo further quality control procedures to verify the species, the health of the plant and absence of contaminants.
