Abstract

The Hungarian people living in the Carpathian Basin have gathered a great deal of information on the therapeutic effects of medicinal plants and other natu-ral materials (fungi, products of animal origin).The first Hungarian-language herbal was published in 1578. It was followed by other herbals and works on pharmacobotany. In the early 19th century botan-ical works became separate from (herbal) books on the therapeutic effects of medicinal plants. From the late 1930s doctors were encouraged to learn about herbal and other home remedies used by the common people because some of them were regarded as having a remarkable therapeutic effect.This ethno(pharmaco)botanical collecting work was intensified after the Second World War and it was around then that the first ethnopharmacological investigations also began. The world’s first centre for research on medicinal plants was set up in Kolozsvár in 1904, where experiments with an ethno(pharmaco)botanical began in addition to cultivation and agro technical experiments. The founder of the institution, Béla Páter (1860–1938) laid the foundations of a medic-inal plant school where the fourth generation of scientists is now following the examples of its forerunners, applying a modern approach and armed with extensive and new knowledge. The Transylvanian medicinal plant school can be regarded as a genuine Hungarian speciality. At least six hundred plant species were used in popular medicine by Hungarians living in the Carpathian Basin.
