Our herbal laboratory
In-house production of herbal remedies
More than 28 years ago, we began to use botanical formulae of the traditional and eastern medicines in medical practice. Each person, who seeks help, is a unique case. This is always a challenge for the doctor. Of course, the diseases are changed by time; they migrate in time and across countries acquiring new symptoms, and become resistance to invented drugs. Once thinking about how the doctors of antiquity treated, we studied Avicenna’s work “The Canon of Medicine”. Desiring to reproduce the formulations described by him, we went to the Middle East with the aim of mastering the Arabian pharmacopoeia. The search for unique botanical formulas and treatment methods continued in India and China. This is the way we came to Ayurvedic medicine and its pharmacopeia.
Recreating and applying this in the conditions of our clinic, we daily observe the efficiency and effectiveness of botanical formulas that were created thousands of years ago.
The history of Calendula Pharma Co. began with four suitcases brought from Egypt. Today we have developed 1,500 phytopreparations. We import certified raw materials from India, China, Vietnam for their manufacture. We bring it from European countries. We collect herbs in ecologically clean parts of Hungary ourselves. All of this is in order to have the opportunity of creating the necessary medicine for the health of every person.
The production of herbal medicinal products started in our country for non-commercial purposes, but thanks to its success it has become an independent sector. We prepare and use our products at our clinics for the treatment of patients who come to us for prescriptions, as well as for in-patients at our clinics, and we give them to patients after they leave to continue their treatment at home. This is our own pharmacy, where we produce our own proprietary herbal strain medicines for our patients. These medicines are prescribed to patients by our medical colleagues - in a customized manner.
We have made available to the general public our herbal products for the most common problems and prevention, which can be used without a prescription. These are biologically active food additives (BAA) classified as food supplements to optimise metabolism, improve organ and body function, reduce the risk of disease, normalise the gastrointestinal microflora.

Ayurvedic medicines
The advantage of Ayurvedic medicines is in the production technology.
The ingredients are not just powdered plant material, but potentiated substances. Part of the medicinal herbs is powdered, the other part is used for a decot (decoction) or extract: all ingredients are triturated in turn (the grinding process potentiates the plants. The more active this process is, the higher their energy value and therapeutic effect are). Then, the liquid and dry parts are mixed, dried at a certain temperature, and triturated again.
The peculiarity of multicomponent formulations is that some ingredients are aimed at improving digestion and assimilation of medicinal substances; the others act as conductors that bring them to the target cells; some of them act as synergists of action; some of them saturate the body. (Saturation is a process when the concentration of active substances increases in the same volume).
