    The traditionally used herbs and drugs of animal or mineral origin in a certain country or region contain the tradicional medicine source of the given territory. The gathering and analysis of them mean not just medical but historical, ethnographical, linguistical and other advantages. This essay tries to summarize and introduce the aspects of the data analysis of the tradititonal use of herbs among the Hungarians and other people living in the Carpathian Basin. Up till now, according to the results of the research work, in the 19th-20th century there are more than 500 traditionally used herbs in human and veteriary therapeutics. So the conclusion can be drawn that every sixth plant in the Carpatian Basin is used for healing. If we take into consideration the data of our medieval and modern hrb-books proportional number can be even larger

    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

    L'étude donne un court aperçu sur les recherches ethnobotaniques des dernières dizaines d'années et d'environ 20000 données ethnobotaniques portant sur l'estimation de l'utilisation en médecine traditionnelle hongroise (connue par l'auteur) de 420 plantes utilisées en médecine humaine et 150 en médecine vétérinaire. L'auteur mentionne les champs principaux de leur application et présente les espèces les plus utilisées. Il compare les plantes médicinales utilisées en médecine humaine aux données des pharmacopées hongroise, allemande, française et européenne en vigueur, ainsi qu'à la liste des études de l'ESCOP, des monographies de la Commission Européenne, des collections de plantes médicinales du British Herbal Compendium et aussi à l'index des drogues utilisées librement en Hongrie. Dans un tableau récapitulatif, il indique les plantes alimentaires à usage pharmaceutique et les domaines de leur emploi. Par ailleurs, l'auteur présente la banque de données en modèle logique, dénommée HERB, des données ethnobotaniques du bassin carpathique à titre documentaire et avec appréciation des données.

    Role of expectations and pleasantness of essential oils in their acute effects

    Effects of inhaled essential oils (EOs) cannot be explained by pharmacological mechanisms alone. The study aimed to investigate the effects of pleasantness of and expectancies evoked by EOs. A double-blind experiment with a within-subject design was carried out with the participation of 33 volunteering adults (15.2% male; mean age 37.7 ± 10.90 years). Participants were exposed to three EOs (rosemary, lavender, and eucalyptus) for three minutes in a quasi-random order, expectations were simply assessed prior to exposure. Subjective (perceived) changes in alertness, heart rate (HR), and blood pressure (BP), and objective changes in HR, BP, and indices of heart rate variability were recorded. Significant group-level differences in changes in alertness and no differences for the cardiovascular variables were found. Participants’ expectations predicted changes in alertness in the case of rosemary and lavender oils but had no impact on cardiovascular variables. EOs’ pleasantness had no effect on any assessed variable. Perceived changes in BP and HR were not related to the respective objective changes but were connected to perceived changes in alertness. Expectancies play an important role in the subjective effects of inhaled EOs. Perceived subjective changes are used to estimate changes in non-conscious (e.g., visceral) states
