WELCOME TO CALENDULA AYURVEDIC AND MEDICAL HOTEL Calendula Clinic was founded in 1991 by Dmitriy Ivanovitch Scopintsev MD, one of the few Ayurvedic doctors practising in Europe. Dr Scopintsev has been heading the institute as main physician for more than 20 years and by now the clinic has become a four-star medical hotel with its premises exceeding 2,000 square kilometres in the town of Siรณfok (Hungary) located on the shores of Lake Balaton.
OUR APPROACH The recovery of the patients of the clinic is due to our attentive individual approach based on the integration of ancient methods, state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, medical technology and the use of Ayurvedic medications formulated in our own laboratory.

In case our physicians find it necessary, MR, CT, various X-ray and other tests may also be conducted at our partner institutions close to our premises.
OUR SPECIALISTS In order to achieve maximum beneficial effect, we work with the best specialists from India, Nepal, Thailand, Ukraine and other countries whose expertise cannot be overestimated.
THE
CALENDULA
METHOD
The Calendula method is based on the integration of the most up-to-date diagnostic methods, treatments and ancient alternative medical procedures. Calendula treatments come complete with effective medicaments produced in our own herbal laboratory where preparations are made from plant-based raw materials using more than 2,000 naturally occurring species in addition to registered, biologically active medications.
WHAT IS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE RESULTS IN CASES WHERE CLASSICAL METHODS OF TREATMENT ARE INEFFICIENT? The application of an individual approach is part and parcel of any effective treatment. The patients of our clinic receive medical preparations, therapeutic treatments and a daily regimen of healthy food and exercise in accordance with their bodily constitution, the characteristics of their basic and concomitant diseases also taking the time of year and lunar phases into consideration. This is why patients suffering from the same diseases may receive different treatments.
HOLISTIC PRINCIPLES
Holistic principles focus on the examination of the human organism as a unique, integral, harmonically controllable mechanism and consider the human being to be a spiritual
entity or a particle of nature. In line with this, holistic medicine does not solely aim at the healing of specific organs or diseases but focuses on the full recovery of the body.
HEALTHY NOURISHMENT Since the most important factor influencing health is appropriate nourishment, we offer Ayurvedic meals including dishes that are not only tasty and beneficial but also master pieces of culinary art. Guests are also welcome to enjoy our international vegetarian and fish restaurant offering an Ă la carte menu available throughout the year.
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY For the time being, treatments and therapies offered at Calendula Medical Hotel are not luxury products. Instead, they often present the ultimate possibility for diagnosing and efficiently treating a number of serious diseases. We are happy to provide our patients with direct access to unique methods including the treatments listed below.
A five-stage procedure of deep cleansing, the most ancient method for cleansing and rejuvenating the whole organism.
PANCHAKARMA Panchakarma allows the treatment and essential improvement of patients’ condition in the case of several chronic diseases while it may also be applied as a well-tested method for prophylaxis and rehabilitation. Panchakarma therapy eliminates toxins and wastes from each, even the smallest channels of the organism improving microcirculation and thereby facilitating the rejuvenation of tissues. Applying the above and other methods we can offer effective treatments to patients suffering from chronic diseases and we can achieve stable results within the shortest period of time.
RASAYANA Each human being is subject to ageing... None of us can escape change or avoid growing old but we should not necessarily age so early and so fast. Rasayana is a complex procedure involving several steps that effectively slow down the ageing of the organism and in many cases it can even restore defective tissues. Rasayana includes the full cleansing of the organism through the posterior intake of specific preparations with a rejuvenating effect combined with a special regimen.
If Rasayana is carried out at a sufficiently early stage, it greatly influences the metabolic processes thereby reducing the risk of the appearance of diseases which human beings are prone to. Furthermore, in cases when such a disease has already manifested itself, Rasayana therapy is capable of reducing the severity of the illness thus greatly improving our patients’ clinical condition.
VAJIKARANA Vajikarana is a special branch of Ayurveda which has no parallel in today’s modern medicine. It is the science of the conservation and restoration of reproductive energies aiming at the treatment of both psychosomatic problems related to sexual life and the disorders of the reproductive organs.
According to Ayurveda, a healthy sexual life, balanced nourishment and a proper lifestyle constitute the three pillars of our health. Healthy sexual life is understood as one that gives pleasure to human beings and provides for giving birth to healthy children. The discipline of Vajikarana focuses on the rejuvenation of reproductive organs with the aim of giving newborn babies a healthy constitution and a healthy start in life.
Applying the above and other methods we can offer effective treatments to patients suffering from chronic diseases and we can achieve stable results within the shortest period of time.
