Boiron training day 2 at a Local French Pharmacie

Our understanding of Homeopathy was furthered by the a trip to a local Pharmacie.  The Boiron educators Christoph and Shane both did an excellent job at showing us how Homeopathy in France is much different than the US.  In France homeopathy is covered by insurance , so if you are prescribed it from a physician it will be a covered expense (just like a pharmaceutical ).  And homeopathy is only sold at pharmacies, unlike in the US where it is considered an over the counter.  So, in our Whole Body departments at Whole Foods we are practically pharmacists when we guide customers in making a homeopathic remedy decisions!

 A typical Boiron Homeopathic set in France, consists of many drawers & drawers of specific remedy dilutions.  Many more than we would ever have in our store sets!

3, 4, 5, 7, 9 & 15 are all commonly presribed dilutions of Homeopathy in France.


Here is a little video of Shane & Christoph sharing with us a explanation from the Pharmacist about how many doctors in the area send patients to her one pharmacie in Lyon.  We thought that , if we only had more natropathic doctors near our stores sending patients, or customers, our way just how great that would be!
