A story of family and audacity

Lives and energies devoted to the development of homeopathy

The story of a great family adventure

From 1932, brothers Jean and Henri Boiron devoted themselves to homeopathy, with the aim of making quality homeopathic medicines available to doctors. Their entrepreneurial spirit and scientific rigor enabled them to advance this therapy and make it known throughout the world.

The story continues with their children Thierry and Christian Boiron, who have taken it in turns to run the company for over 40 years.

Today, Pascal Houdayer, the company’s CEO, is building on this fine heritage to give homeopathy the place it deserves in medicine, by enabling every healthcare professional and patient to use homeopathic medicines.

“We believe in the combination of high standards and humanism behind a profoundly human vision of healthcare, advocating freedom of choice for integrative and sustainable healthcare, which considers the whole person in addition to the patient.
That’s why, every day, we put all our energy into serving human beings, patients and healthcare professionals, so that everyone, everywhere in the world, has access to health and well-being solutions that are effective, useful and safe.
Our responsibility to individual and public health motivates us to promote homeopathy worldwide, and to develop innovative healthcare solutions that are just as respectful.”
