“…The same was observed in other studies in Brazil (Parente & Rosa, 2001;Di Stasi et al, 2002;Gazzaneo et al, 2005). The use of these plant parts, as opposed to roots, is more interesting from the conservation point of view, since they minimize the impact generated by extrativism, reducing the likelihood of the whole plant dying.…”

“…and Malvaceae (4 spp.). The first two often appear as the most representative in number of species in other ethnobotanical works from Brazil (Parente & Rosa, 2001;Di Stasi et al, 2002;Pereira et al, 2004;Gazzaneo et al, 2005;Azevedo & Silva, 2006, Pilla et al, 2006, Pinto et al, 2006Maioli-Azevedo & Fonseca-Kruel, 2007). According to Di Stasi et al (2002), these are large, mostly cosmopolitan, families (about 22.750 and 6.700 species, respectively), known worldwide as medicinal, which would explain the large number of species listed by informants in ethnobotanical works.…”

“…The use of other species as Espinheira-santa was reported before. Some examples are: Sorocea bonplandii Bailon (Moraceae) (Parente & Rosa, 2001;Coulaud-Cunha et al, 2004), S. guilleminiana Gaudich (Moraceae) (Azevedo & Silva, 2006;Maioli-Azevedo & Fonseca-Kruel, 2007), S. ilicifolia Miq.

“…Few ethnobotanical studies in urban environments were held in open-air fair and popular markets in Brazil (Berg, 1984;Silva et al, 2001;Almeida & Albuquerque, 2002;Nunes et al, 2003;Pinto & Maduro, 2003;Albuquerque et al, 2007), and to the best of our knowledge, only five studies in the State of Rio de Janeiro (Santos & Silvestre, 2000;Stalcup, 2000;Parente & Rosa, 2001;Azevedo & Silva, 2006;Maioli-Azevedo & Fonseca-Kruel, 2007) (Table 1).

RESUMO: "Etnobotânica urbana em Petrópolis e Nova Friburgo (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil)". O principal objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar as plantas úteis comercializadas em feiras livres em Petrópolis e Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados utilizando as técnicas de observação participante, entrevistas semi-estruturadas e listagem livre com quatro comerciantes de plantas medicinais. A partir dessas entrevistas, 115 espécies (pertencentes a 49 famílias) foram relacionadas: 94 com uso medicinal, 12 com uso religioso e 9 com uso ornamental. Trinta por cento das espécies são nativas e 72% possuem hábito herbáceo. As famílias mais representativas foram Asteraceae (26 espécies) e Lamiaceae (10 espécies). As espécies medicinais indicadas para o tratamento de doenças do sistema respiratório foram mais freqüentes durante o outono e inverno. A espécie denominada como Espinheira-santa (Clarisia cf. ilicifolia) obteve o valor mais alto de Importância Relativa (1,8) e a mais alta colocação em todas as estações do ano utilizando o cálculo Preference Ranking, embora seus níveis de eficiência e toxidez não tenham sido ainda estabelecidos. O estudo se mostrou relevante, pois visa reunir o conhecimento dos informantes sobre as espécies que comercializam em feiras livres e mercados populares no estado do Rio de Janeiro, que representa uma valiosa fonte para a bioprospecção.Unitermos: Etnobotânica, plantas medicinais, feira-livre, conhecimento local, Brasil. ABSTRACT:The main goal of this paper was the study of the useful plants sold in the openair fairs of Petrópolis and Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data collection was obtained through participant observation, semi structured interviews and free listing with four herbalist informants. From the interviews, 115 species (belonging to 49 families) were recorded: 94 for medicinal purposes, 12 with religious application, and 9 for ornamental purposes. Thirty percent of the species were native, and 72% herbaceous. The most representative families were Asteraceae (26 species) and Lamiaceae (10 species). The medicinal species related to diseases of the respiratory system were more common during the winter and autumn. "Espinheirasanta" (Clarisia cf. ilicifolia) had the highest Relative Importance (1.8) and collocation in all seasons using the Preference Ranking, although its effectiveness or toxicity levels have not been established. The importance of the study is to gather knowledge from local herbalists about commercialized species in open-air fairs and popular markets in the Rio de Janeiro State, which represent valuable resources for bioprospection.

Plantas medicinais e de uso religioso comercializadas em mercados e feiras livres no Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil

Plantas medicinais e de uso religioso comercializadas em mercados e feiras livres no Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil (9), Leguminosae (7), Euphorbiacaea, Lauraceae, Piperaceae e Solanaceae (5) as de maior riqueza. A maioria das espécies é utilizada para fins terapêuticos (70,1%) e existe um relativo equilíbrio entre extrativismo (40,4%) e cultivo (52,8%) para estas, com poucas incluídas nos dois casos (6,7%). Em relação às plantas utilizadas para fins religiosos, constatou-se que o extrativismo (64,3%) sobrepõe-se ao cultivo (32,1%), com apenas 3,6% em ambos os casos. A coleta se dá predominantemente na Mata Atlântica (83,3%), em áreas que fazem parte ou circundam Unidades de Conservação. Isto reflete a crença de que estas espécies devam ser retiradas preferencialmente de seus locais de origem. Sugere-se que a pressão de coleta exercida sobre as plantas de uso religioso na Mata Atlântica contribua para a vulnerabilidade das mesmas. Palavras-chave : extrativismo, Mata Atlântica, etnobotânica, Rio de Janeiro ABSTRACT -(Medical and religious plants commercialized in conventional and open-air markets of Rio de Janeiro municipality Riode Janeiro State, Brazil). This paper has as a main goal to study the species commercialized in both conventional and open-air markets in Rio de Janeiro. It is reported the concurrency of the type of use (medical and/or religious) together with the collection procedure of these plants, arising from cultivation and/or extraction from the Atlantic Rain Forest and/or from wastelands. Four open-air markets and four conventional markets were visited for this study, while the field collection in the Serra do Mendanha was accompanied by an informant. Data collection was obtained through participant observation and semi structured interviews. Most of the species are used for therapeutical purpose (70.1%), observing that there is a certain balance between plants colletcted (40.4%) and cultivated (52.8%), and the remaining (6.7%), including both. Regarding the plants used for religious purpose it was observed that explotation from nature (64.3%) ovelaps cultivation (32.1%), with only 3.6% yields from both cases. Most of the collects occurs within conservation areas of the Atlantic Rain Forest (83.3%). This result reflects the popular belief that these species need to be extracted from its native area. The vulnerability of these species may well be related to this practice.

Evaluation of an extract of Brazilian arnica (Solidago chilensis Meyen, asteraceae) in treating lumbago

One of the Brazilian arnicas, Solidago chilensis Meyen, is a species of the family Asteraceae. This plant is known by this common name because it shares very similar organoleptic properties with the genus Arnica L., also within the family Asteraceae, that comprises approximately 30 European species of perennial, herbaceous plants. The effectiveness of a fluid extract of S. chilensis used externally for treating lumbago was examined in placebo-controlled double-blind clinical pharmacological studies. Two daily skin applications of a gel containing a 5% extract in glycol were administered for 15 days to ten volunteers in a placebo group and to an equal number in a test group. Statistical analyses of the results demonstrated a significant reduction in the perception of pain and a significant increase in the flexibility of patients in the test group as compared with those receiving only the placebo.
