This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
Under Article L. 511 of the Public Health Code, any substance or compound presented as having curative or preventive properties for human or animal diseases, and any product that may be administered to humans or animals with a view to restoring, correcting or modifying their organic functions, is considered a medicine. A ruling shall be quashed if, in overturning the judgment which had noted that 10-volume hydrogen peroxide and 70° rectified alcohol were antiseptic products, that arnica cream was a vulnerary with some toxicity and that camphor cream was an analeptic contributing to the restoration of organic functions, it states that only a more or less profound impairment of health, excluding simple benign conditions, constitutes a disease, and infers that the products in question have no connection with the disease so defined (1).
What the law says
