SUMMARY:

Ethnobotany is an area of ethnoscience that studies the relationship between people and plants, and therefore the way and which such plants are traditionally used. Within this perspective are the traditional peoples of candomblé temples, whose characteristic feature is the use of plants for medicinal purposes and also in their sacred rituals. This research is divided into two chapters: chapter I understand to a literature review on ethnobotany in religious communities of African origins in Brazil. The systematic review was carried out through searches for published works available in databases (e.g., Google academic, Scielo, Scopus and Web of Science), using keywords such as medicinal plants, candomblé, umbanda, sacred herbs, Ethnobotany and Afro-Brazilian religion. Chapter II presents partial data on medicinal and/or ritualistic plants used by two African-based religious communities in southern Bahia.wo Candomblé temples were researched in the municipalities of Arataca and Itabuna, Bahia. Data were collected through field visits using the main methods such as participant observation, free listing, semi-structured interview, guided tour, collection and identification of botanical material. Ninety-eight ethnobotanical species were found, of which 91 species of Angiosperms and one Pteridophyte were identified, The five families with the highest representation in number of species were Lamiaceae (13 spp.), Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae and Fabaceae (6 spp.) each and Malvaceae (5 spp.). As for origin, 50 species were found to be native to Brazil, five being endemic, 35 cultivated, and 25 naturalized. As for the way of life form, 30 species were herbaceous, 28 shrubs, 26 trees, five climbers, two subshrubs, and one palm tree. The cited forms of use include baths, ebós, ornaments, incense, smoking, shaking, offerings, cleansing, teas, syrups, and uses in secret rituals. Chapter III refers to the elaboration of an informative booklet, with the objective of socializing the knowledge about the medicinal plants used in the temples. From the results found, we conclude that the candomblé temples are important environments for the rescue and appreciation of Brazilian Afro-religious culture, in addition to contributing to the preservation of plants.
