RESUMO:

In Brazil there is a great biodiversity, especially of flora, and a considerable use of plants that stand out in popular knowledge. The use of plants for medicinal purposes is related to cultural habits and also to the difficulty of access to synthetic medicines by the population, making medicinal plants, sometimes, the only option available for treatment. The Ministry of Health has introduced the use of medicinal plants in the policies and programs of the Unified Health System (SUS). In this perspective, the objective was to present an overview of the use of medicinal plants with phytotherapic potential in the Brazilian Northeast; and, to carry out a survey of the medicinal plants used in the Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva Settlement (Lulão) in the municipality of Santa Cruz Cabrália/BA. For this, bibliographic surveys were carried out and methods and tests of the Use Value Hypothesis were used. The research was approved by the CEP/UFSB. Initially, a bibliographic survey was carried out focusing on ethnobotanical studies carried out in the Brazilian Northeast. In the second stage, interviews were carried out in the Lulão Settlement, using the “snowball” technique. When consented, the guided tour technique was also applied, or photos of the plants were requested for identification. It was possible to identify 54 native species from the Brazilian Northeast that are widely used in folk medicine, and that require additional research to prove the therapeutic efficacy and make a diagnosis of the active principles of these species, enabling safety in their use in Primary Health Care and authorization for simplified registration of the same as herbal drugs. The plants that stand out for having the highest Use Value Index (VU) by the Settlement community are: Pimpinella anisum (fennel), Aloe vera (aloe), Achillea millefolium (dipyrone), Mentha pulegium (pennyroyal), Plectranthus amboinicus (thick mint), Schinus terebinthifolia (aroeira), Amburana cearensis (imburana), Eugenia uniflora (pitanga), Bidens pilosa (needlebur), Ocimum gratissimum (tioyo), Persea americana (avocado), Cajanus cajan (andu ), Senna alexandrina (seine), and Cymbopogon citratus (saint grass). These species are used to treat various pathologies. The VU highlighted plants predominantly of shrub and herbaceous habit and botanical families usually cultivated near or in the backyard of the residences. In addition, the interviews point to an appreciation of more abundant cultivated species, with a predominance of exotic and naturalized species. So far, the results seem to indicate that people select plants for use as proposed in the Use Value Hypothesis. The greater use of exotic/naturalized species may point to a loss of local knowledge about native plants or the result of the proliferation of courses with exotic medicinal plants. It is important to highlight that the flora is also an important tool for promoting health and valuing traditional culture. It is expected that the results collected will contribute to the knowledge about species with phytotherapic potential in the Brazilian Northeast and to the local Farmácia Viva and contribute to the sustainable use of the natural heritage of the Atlantic Forest.
