Abstract This study aimed to assess diagnosis of Unique Health System (SUS) users profile with regard to herbal medicine. This is a cross-sectional study with observational data collection conducted in the city of Marechal Deodoro, through a semi-structured questionnaire with questions related to socioeconomic data, use, and knowledge of medicinal plants and herbal medicines and satisfaction with the use of medicinal herbs (MH) and interactions of phytotherapeutic drugs (PD). Among the topics, 86.89% of users used herbal medicines often, especially lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.). It was also observed that the plants are generally used as a sedative (21.74%) and as tea (87.84%). 82.32% of respondents claim to have acquired the knowledge of herbal medicine through a family member and 85.36% make use of medicinal plants without having received any information on the use of MH and PD. 61% of the plants described that coincided with the form of use and therapeutic properties found in the literature. With regard to satisfaction by treatment with MH and PD, it was found that 56.67% are satisfied. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to this aspect of usage, in order to avoid possible drug interactions or adverse reactions resulting from the incorrect use.

“…Pertencente à família Asteraceae, a camomila contém compostos bioativos com atividade antiirritante (sob pele, músculos e nervos), antiespasmódica, antimicrobiana, antissépticas, anti-helmíntica e anti-inflamatória que está associada, em parte, com a atividade antioxidante de certos compostos presentes no chá como flavonoides e ácidos fenólicos (p. ex. cumarinas) (REZENDE, 2006;PAULA;CRUZ-SILVA, 2010;BUNN, 2012;CABRAL et al, 2014;RODRIGUES, 2015;GUALBERTO, 2015).…”

“…Dentre esses compostos, as cumarinas são derivadas da 5,6-benzo-2-pirona que consiste em um anel benzênico unida a uma pirona e nos seres humanos o principal metabólito da cumarina é o 7hidroxicumarina (7HC), que também pode ser chamada de umbeliferona por ter sido isolada a primeira vez a partir de resinas umbelíferas (família de herbáceas) (OTERO, 2007;CABRAL et al, 2014).…”

“…Indeed, Lavandula viridis L´Hér. essential oil has been appreciated in aromatherapy due to its sedative and analgesic properties ( Cabral et al, 2014 ) and the plant is traditionally used in infusions to treat flu, circulatory problems and to relieve headaches ( Rivera and Obón, 1995 ). All these disorders trigger inflammatory responses.…”

Lavandulaviridis L´Hér. is an endemic Iberian species with a high essential oil yield and a pleasant lemon scent. Despite these interesting features, this species remains unrecognized and poorly explored by the food and pharmaceutical industries. Nevertheless, it has been valued in traditional medicine being used against flu, circulatory problems and to relieve headaches. Since these disorders trigger inflammatory responses, it is relevant to determine the anti-inflammatory potential of L. viridis L´Hér. essential oil in an attempt to validate its traditional use and concomitantly to increment its industrial exploitation. Therefore, in the present study the chemical composition of this volatile extract as well as the effect on ROS production, inflammatory response and proteasome activity on LPS-stimulated macrophages were disclosed. Also, its safety profile on keratinocytes, hepatocytes and alveolar epithelial cells was depicted, envisioning a future human administration. The essential oil was characterized by high quantities of 1,8-cineole, camphor and α-pinene. From a pharmacological point of view, the essential oil showed a potent antioxidant effect and inhibited nitric oxide production through down-modulation of nuclear factor kappa B-dependent Nos2 transcription and consequently iNOS protein expression as well as a decrease in proteasomal activity. The anti-inflammatory activity was also evidenced by a strong inhibition of LPS-induced Il1b and Il6 transcriptions and downregulation of COX-2 levels. Overall, bioactive safe concentrations of L. viridis L´Hér. essential oil were disclosed, thus corroborating the traditional usage of this species and paving the way for the development of plant-based therapies.
