I recently attended the New York Baby Show and got to speak with the representatives of Boiron. There idea of using Homeopathic Medicines really interested me. I offered to try two of their products and see if they would work

Boiron was founded in 1932 in Lyon, France, by twin brothers and pharmacists Jean and Henri Boiron.In 1983, Boiron established a presence in the United States by acquiring John A. Borneman & Sons, Inc., in suburban Philadelphia. Borneman was a family business with four generations of homeopathic expertise focused on supplying medicines directly to physicians and the public throughout the U.S.In 1985, the company’s first president, Daniel Cohen, began to focus on developing the retail sales channel to make Boiron homeopathic medicines more widely available. In 1987, Cohen returned to France, and Thierry Montfort arrived in the U.S. from Lyon to take the helm and continue the expansion in retail distribution. In response to a significant interest in homeopathy in California, Boiron established a branch in Simi Valley, outside of Los Angeles, in 1989.

Today, Boiron USA has evolved into a leading U.S. homeopathic medicine supplier, fulfilling up to 1,000 orders per day during the busy flu season. The company partners with brokers, distributors and retail chains to make homeopathic medicines available to a wide variety of consumers and physicians.

The first product I tested was the Chestal Cough Syrup. This actually came in handy as I was struggling with a cough. Chestal is one of the safest cough medicines on the market. It works naturally with the body to improve the productivity of all types of common coughs. The natural goodness of honey in Chestal coasts and soothes the throat. This was good for me because my throat gets so sore from coughing that it aches. The blend of safe homeopathic medicines gets to work loosening chest congestion, making it easier for you to recovery from your cough. When I get a cough I always worry it will get worse, this product helped me get over it quickly. It is good to use day and night and does not leave you feeling drowsy. It helped me get over my cough in a short period of time.

The second product that I tested was Calendual Ointment. Calendula helps promote healing of cuts, scrapes and burns. It also helps with chapped lips and hands. I have been working in the yard and wanted to see if it work. I applied a thin layer of the ointment on my scrapes and looked for it to heal. It worked really well without any scarring. It is great for sensitive skin; especially on the face. This ointment is scent free and have no parabens.
