Our Story

1932, twin brothers and pharmacists Jean et Henri Boiron decided to dedicate their lives to homeopathy. This was the beginning of an epic tale of a shared passion which, over the years, would become a great, worldwide. Both men had keen scientific minds and an indomitable entrepreneurial spirit. Here are a few milestones that have shaped Boiron’s history over the years

In June 1932, René Baudry, a highly respected pharmacist specializing in the manufacturing of homeopathic products and founder of the Laboratoire Central Homéopathique de France in Paris, hired Jean and Henri after they graduated from university. One year later, René and Henri started working on developing the Paris laboratory, renaming it Les Laboratoires Homéopathiques Modernes (LHM), while Jean took over development operations at the company in Lyon, known as the Pharmacie Homéopathique Rhodanienne (PHR).
