COMPOSITION
Our products are made from top quality substances
1987 | Creation of Homeocan: the birth of a natural company
Before creating Homeocan, Michèle Boisvert, active president, was already known as one of the first woman pharmacists to own her own pharmacy in Quebec.
It is through her contacts and experiences with her customers that came to understand that alternative and natural medicine, such as Homeopathy, was her preferred answer to their question: how to heal naturally?
A pharmacy graduate from the Université de Montréal, audacious, courageous and enterprising, she decides to meet the demand of her clients by manufacturing her own homeopathic remedies. A few months later, the demand is so strong that she founds Homeocan, her tiny company that will later become the Canadian leader in Homeopathy.
Dr. Joseph Roy, a French homeopathic physician discovered Anas Barbaria in the 1920s. During a study on the treatment of flu symptoms, he observed the effect of different substances, including duck heart and liver autolyzate of Barbariae. It was demonstrated that these autolysates did not contain any particular germ. Nevertheless, after dilution and potentization to the 200th Korsakovian, this preparation was very effective in the prevention and treatment of flu symptoms. Later, the scientific community also noted that different types of migratory birds could be vectors of respiratory illnesses and in particular carriers of the influenza virus. Is this a coincidence?
It is therefore quite natural that our Homeopathy experts have developed our own formulas. Homeocoksinum, the homeopathic flu killer, which corresponds to the Canadian Oscillococcinum. Based on these observations, we were able to innovate by supplementing with the night formula in which we added two natural ingredients which provide better sleep without causing drowsiness : Chamomile and Coffea cruda.
1993 | Creation of Homeolab: Canadian Homeopathy in the United States
Building on her experiences and success in the Canadian market, Michèle Boisvert sets out to conquer the American market. It is with audacity and will that Homeocan thus launches its Homeolab counterpart in the United States. The products are sold throughout the United States through national pharmacy networks. This adventure will be precursory to the future international expansion of Homeocan.
As the company is growing rapidly, now is the time to grow. Thanks to the dedicated team in place since the creation of Homeocan, the laboratories are completely moved in one weekend. The entire company transits from the space above the pharmacy of Michèle Boisvert on Papineau in Montreal, to a warehouse of more than 23,000 square feet on the boulevard de l’Assomption!
Always keen to provide natural solutions for the whole family, our experts in Homeopathy have developed a family of products formulated for children aged 0 to 12 years. That’s how we launched the Kids 0-9 range. A whole range of symptoms are covered by this line which has the advantage of being gluten-free, without side effects, without drowsiness and natural. Just like our all homeopathic remedies, Kids 0-9 uses the mechanisms inherent in the body to relieve the disease of toddlers.
Good to know! Oral solutions are all gluten-free, natural and without added sugar! A line of natural remedies that has convinced Canadian mothers, concerned about the natural well-being of their children.
With the great successes on the Canadian market and the superb reception from the Americans, Michèle Boisvert decided to join forces with international distributors who are experts in their field. The products are sold in several countries around the world: Russia, Vietnam, Europe and the Middle East.
Additionally, we are becoming a source of private label products for many of the major drugstore chains around the world. Homeocan is now an international player!
To meet exponential demand, we are launching a tailor-made range for joint and muscle pain. In creams, gel, tablets, drops or spray, it's whatever you prefer! 100% natural and bringing together exceptional ingredients, the Traumacare range is formulated in our laboratory in Montreal by our homeopathy experts.
Products that have quickly become our best-sellers since their release.
Faced with the world's logical enthusiasm for aromatherapy, it seemed natural and obvious to us to create our own line: Essencia. 100% pure and natural Essential Oils, Vegetable and organic care Oils, Massage Oils, Room Mists and even Floral Waters…
With our own laboratory, we ensure rigorous monitoring of the origin of our raw materials. Ensuring the purity of oils and collaborating with professionals who are committed to extracting the best from plants, this is our leitmotif.
The company's profits made it possible to invest in research and development. We have therefore equipped ourselves with a completely renovated laboratory, in order to ensure optimal quality production. Isolated from other work areas by watertight partitions, and under controlled pressure, it guarantees absolute safety of the production process.
New equipment was also acquired: 6 new laminar flows, 2 IMPREGMAT machines for the impregnation of granules, globules and tablets, and a Korsakov machine for the automatic preparation of Korsakovian dilutions.
Now equipped with the best existing equipment, we ensure that we provide natural products of the highest quality.
