For thousands of years, herbs and humans have created an interdependent bond. Proof, our ancestors, who had no other medical alternatives, used plants and essential oils, their most concentrated form, since antiquity.

This is how Seva Sana-Manufacture of health began, from a pure passion for medicinal plants of Ioana Vasvari. "I flavour the sap of the herbs with almond and olive oils, and with the help of a hand press we bring live extracts in front of you, in their organic form. Herbal medallions, herbal presses for therapeutic baths, last but not least, cosmetic oils will caress your body and soul ", says Ioana.

The plants used, marigolds, sage, mint, lemon balm, breckland thyme, St. John's wort, chamomile, ramsons or chicory are harvested at the right time, by hand, piece by piece, and left to dry, in the shade, to keep all the sap in them.

Medicinal oils are made by the process of maceration of dried plants in the sun, combined with vegetable oils of almonds and olives.

The other product categories are obtained by manual cold pressing of oils and oily extracts from flowers, herbs and seeds. The procedure is performed with the help of an organic press, operated manually, at a certain time interval. A live extract is obtained, containing all the properties of the herbs, in their most natural state, with health benefits, the basic ingredient in the cosmetic oils made.

The plant medallions are also made with the help of the organic press, from 5 grams of plants, resulting in 2 litres of tea, 100% natural. "Before being put in the press, the plants are put in a mortar just to reactivate the volatile oils and their freshness. Enjoy the natural and fresh taste of herbs! ” says Ioana Vasvari.

This corner of heaven is located about 20 kilometres from the hustle and bustle of Satu Mare, in the middle of nature. It is an area surrounded by the fairytale hills of Codru, in the vicinity of Ardud fortress, which was one of the strongest fortifications of Transylvania. Beyond the historical significance of the recently rebuilt fortress, visitors are fascinated by the legend of the cursed princess who is said to haunt the city's cellars today. Vilma, the daughter of Francis Rakoczi II, Prince of Transylvania, seduced by a handsome young officer, betrayed the secret of the galleries designed to take the enemies by surprise. Rakoczi did not forgive his daughter, on whom he cast heavy curses, never to know happiness and to walk unmarried through the undergrounds of the city. The elders say that there were many men who tried to get rid of the curse, but none of them came back alive from the basement of the city to say what they saw.
