“…Ribeiro et al (2014) encontraram sequência semelhante de partes das plantas utilizadas, a folha recebeu maior número de citações de uso, seguida da casca, semente, raiz, fruto e entrecasca. A folha é a parte do vegetal significativamente mais utilizada na medicina caseira de várias localidades, tanto rurais quanto urbanas para o tratamento de doenças, como apresentado nos trabalhos de Ribeiro et al (2014) Santos et al (2018) salientam que a predominância das folhas serem usadas nos remédios caseiros deve ser atribuída à maior facilidade de coleta e em algumas espécies a disponibilidade durante todo o ano, O uso da casca é citado em outros estudos etnobotânicos do nordeste brasileiro, como sendo a segunda parte vegetal mais utilizada para a obtenção dos medicamentos caseiros (LEITE et al, 2015), assim como o encontrado neste estudo onde a casca foi a segunda mais citada (13,4%) após as folhas (49,3%) na comunidade Alto da Cruz em Baturité no estado do Ceará.…”

The difficulty in accessing health care by the population that does not have their needs met at health institutions makes them use medicinal plants. Thus, the study aimed to know about the use of medicinal plants in the community of Alto da Cruz in the neighborhood Pitiú in urban area of the municipality of Baturité, Ceará, in the cure of diseases. For that, a quantitative-qualitative structured questionnaire composed of 20 questions related to the use of medicinal plants was applied from may to october 2017 and interviewed 50 people of both sexes aged between 18 and 84 years. The results showed that the majority of respondents were elderly women, who acquired the knowledge of their ancestors. There were 48 medicinal plants distributed in 25 families, Fabaceae and Lamiaceae presented the largest number of species. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) was the most cited species, 16 times (21.3%), followed by boldo (Peumus boldus) and sweet herb (Pimpinela anisum) with 15 citations (20%); lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) and mastruz (Dysphania ambrosioides) 14 times (18.7%). The most used parts of the plant were leaves (49.3%), bark (13.4%), seed (10.4%) and flower (8.9%), being that root, bast and fruit had equal use citation (6.0%). The population of Alto da Cruz community uses medicinal plants to maintain health not only by tradition of use that is very strong in the community, but also, due to the financial difficulties to acquire allopathic medicines sold at local pharmacies.

“…Leite et al (2015) também observaram que a forma de chá foi a mais utilizada (50%), seguida da forma de lambedor (44%). O chá também se destacou como o modo de consumo mais recorrente nos trabalhos de Cruz et al (2017) e Santos et al (2018). Os chás devem ser preparados, de preferência, em doses individuais para serem usados logo em seguida.…”

Background: Medicinal plants represent the oldest form used by humanity in the prevention and/or cure of their illnesses. They have low cost, are culturally widespread and can be cultivated in backyards.Methods: The objective was to know which medicinal plants are used and grown in homegardens, as well as their indication and the parts used by the residents of Lagoa da Prata Community, in the municipality of Parnaiba, Piaui. 174 people were interviewed, a total of 91 homegardens. Data were collected for direct data collection, structured interview, guided tours, photographic records, interview recordings, field journal annotations, Value of Use (VU) and Relative Importance (RI). Results:The survey recorded 30 plants, distributed in 19 families. The species with higher VU were Gossypium hirsutum L. (1.28), Dysphania ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin & Clemants (1.12) and Ocimum gratissimum L. (1.12).Conclusions: Using such methods it was observed that the interviewees cultivated a variety of plant species used to treat a large number of diseases.

Ethnopharmacology of Fruit Plants: A Literature Review on the Toxicological, Phytochemical, Cultural Aspects, and a Mechanistic Approach to the Pharmacological Effects of Four Widely Used Species

et al. 2020

Fruit plants have been widely used by the population as a source of food, income and in the treatment of various diseases due to their nutritional and pharmacological properties. The aim of this study was to review information from the most current research about the phytochemical composition, biological and toxicological properties of four fruit species widely used by the world population in order to support the safe medicinal use of these species and encourage further studies on their therapeutic properties. The reviewed species are: Talisia esculenta, Brosimum gaudichaudii, Genipa americana, and Bromelia antiacantha. The review presents the botanical description of these species, their geographical distribution, forms of use in popular medicine, phytochemical studies and molecules isolated from different plant organs. The description of the pharmacological mechanism of action of secondary metabolites isolated from these species was detailed and toxicity studies related to them were reviewed. The present study demonstrates the significant concentration of phenolic compounds in these species and their anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, photosensitizing properties, among others. Such species provide important molecules with pharmacological activity that serve as raw materials for the development of new drugs, making further studies necessary to elucidate mechanisms of action not yet understood and prove the safety for use in humans.
