Boiron Homeopathy is a therapeutic method based on an original approach to disease and health.
Boiron Homeopathy considers that the organism's natural defenses are capable of overcoming most diseases. The physician's role is to stimulate or re-establish this exceptional potential present in each of us, with the help of medicines.
Boiron Homeopathy proposes the use of medicines derived from a specific pharmacology based on two essential principles:
There is a similarity between the toxic power of a substance and its therapeutic power. Some substances, used in weighable doses, provoke the appearance of symptoms in healthy people; however, when used in weak or infinitesimal doses, they can cure the same symptoms in sick people.
Individualized treatment. Homeopathy is also distinguished by the individualization of the treatment. For a homeopathic physician, there are no diseases, only sick people. Homeopathic practice takes all of the patient's symptoms into account: those directly linked to his or her disease as well as those which reflect his or her individual reaction to the disease.
Boiron Homeopathic medicines are made from substances of vegetal, animal, mineral, and chemical origin. These basic substances are highly diluted, according to the homeopathic method, which explains why the medicines are not toxic.
Boiron medicines typically take the form of pellets, packaged in tubes. The patient must let a number of pellets dissolve in his mouth at regular intervals, as prescribed by the doctor. There are also smaller tubes that contain single doses.
