In 1790, Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, revolutionized the prevailing medical approach. Disappointed by the aggressive treatments practiced in his time (bloodletting, purgatives, mercury, etc.), he put his career on hold and devoted himself to translating medical works. While studying *Materia Medica* by the Scottish physician William Cullen, he discovered cinchona, traditionally used to treat fever.
In a seminal move, he decided to test the substance on himself… and developed a fever similar to the one that cinchona was supposed to treat. He thus rediscovered the law of similars, a principle already articulated by Hippocrates 2,500 years earlier: “Any substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can, in a low dose, relieve those same symptoms in a sick person.”
Hahnemann continued his work with scientific rigor, testing more than 100 plant, animal, and mineral substances on his assistants. To avoid toxic effects, he used progressive dilutions and discovered that these retained their therapeutic efficacy. Thus was bornmodern homeopathy, whose first remedy was China rubra, still used today to treat febrile conditions.
Homeopathic medicines are made from substances of plant, animal, or mineral origin. These active substances are first ground and then macerated in an alcoholic solvent. The mother tincture is then diluted according to a rigorous method (generally in CH or DH) and potentized at each stage (shaken repeatedly) to transfer the active information to the preparation.
The granules, made from sucrose and lactose, are then impregnated by spraying them with the potentized dilution before being packaged in airtight tubes.
Boiron Laboratories, a leader in homeopathy in France, manufactures these homeopathic granules under strict pharmaceutical conditions and in accordance with European Pharmacopoeia standards.
For optimal absorption, homeopathic granules should be taken away from meals: either 15 minutes before or 1 hour and 30 minutes after. Ideally, let them dissolve slowly under the tongue, where the active ingredients are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the oral mucosa.
For infants, you can dissolve 10 granules in 50 ml of appropriate mineral water and administer them in small sips every two hours. Never dissolve the granules in milk.
Finally, the use of a toothpaste compatible with homeopathic treatments is strongly recommended to avoid any interactions.
A Boiron homeopathic tube contains an average of about 80 granules. These granules are pre-measured to ensure precise and consistent dosing, which is ideal for a personalized homeopathic treatment.
