“…A utilização e a investigação de plantas medicinais no Brasil têm como aliados a grande diversidade vegetal e o baixo custo associado à terapêutica, o que vem despertando a atenção dos programas de assistência à saúde e profissionais (Santos et al, 2011). Cita-se a aprovação da Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PNPIC) no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), pelo Ministério da Saúde, na qual se insere a fitoterapia, como parte essencial das políticas públicas de saúde, meio ambiente, desenvolvimento econômico e social (Brasil, 2006).…”

RESUMO Estudo experimental in vitro que objetivou investigar o potencial antimicrobiano e citotóxico de quatro frações e um extrato etanólico da espécie Pouteria venosa usada como planta medicinal. A atividade antimicrobiana foi determinada pelos testes de sensibilidade microbiana, como o método de difusão em disco e o método da microdiluição em caldo, para a determinação da Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM). Obteve-se a avaliação da citotoxicidade por meio do método colorimétrico do Metiltetrazolium. No estudo da atividade antimicrobiana, os principais resultados foram obtidos contra Staphylococus aureus para a fração AcOEt das cascas do caule, CIM de 125 μg/mL; Streptococcus pneumoniae e Proteus mirabilis para a fração AcOEt das cascas do caule, CIM de 250 μg/mL; Staphylococus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa para a fração AcOEt das folhas e cascas do caule, CIM de 250 μg/mL.Todas as amostras foram inativas para os fungos testados. Afração AcOEt das cascas do caule foi considerada atóxica, podendo ser utilizada em testes pré-clínicos in vivo.

“…Therefore, lay knowledge, popular and traditional can be seen as an opportunity to approach the health professional with the user [56,57]. In this context, permanent and popular education in health services and spaces in community, about the rational use of medicinal plants should be used as care and health promotion strategy, with a decentralization of power-scientific knowledge [58]. Thus, the community and organized users with its traditions, values and knowledge, as well as academic institutions, research and teaching, with its scientific criteria, can contribute to building knowledge ecology of medicinal plants in dialogues and …”

The use of medicinal plants among pregnant women and lactating is a common practice in diverse countries. However, many medicinal plants are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactating, due to various adverse effects, such as teratogenic, embryotoxic and abortive effects, exposing these women, their fetus and babies to health unknown risks. Thus, the purpose of this commentary, was to analyze the perception about the use of medicinal plants by pregnant women and lactating registered in the "baby on board" NGO, Araraquara, São Paulo state, Brazil, between 2010 at 2013. The group was constituted by 48 women, between the first and last trimester of pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding. Information was collected during group meetings by oral interview, using a questionnaire, as script. The nature of the study was a qualitative analysis. The results were based on reports about the use of medicinal plants by pregnant women during group meetings: use, indication of use, knowledge about risks. All participants received written and oral information about the study and they gave a written informed consent. The use of medicinal plants is a reality among pregnant and lactating women of the "baby on board" NGO. They reported that they feel that "natural" products are not harmful for their health. The primary information sources for the majority of women about medicinal plants during pregnancy are family, neighbors and herbalists. The plants most cited were: senna, chamomile, boldo, lemon balm, lemon grass. They were used mainly for: nausea, heartburn, indigestion, flatulence, intestinal and abdominal pain, anxiety, intestinal constipation and low milk production. The pregnant and lactating women lacked knowledge about the health risks of the use of medicinal plants and herbal medicines in pregnancy and lactation. They also reported difficulties in clarifying some questions about the use of medicinal plants with their doctors. The results of the present study showed that educative actions about the rational use of medicinal plants in pregnancy and breastfeeding could be part of the operating protocols to promote the maternal and child health programs in Araraquara. Thus, our results also suggest the importance of creating institutionalized places, to the implementation of continued education programs about rational use of medicinal plants in pregnancy and lactation. These targeted programs are not only for health professionals, but also for community members, pregnant women and breastfeeding. Our results pointed out the importance of guidance of doctors and healthcare professionals on the scientific studies about medicinal plants and herbal medicines and the risk/benefit of using herbs during pregnancy. Finally, it is noted the importance of the health professionals to inform women of childbearing on risks to their health, as well as on possibilities of utilization of herbs during fertile period, giving special attention to the potential risk of self-medication.

“…A busca por plantas com potencial terapêu-tico é uma opção importante. Segundo Santos et al 2 , na medicina popular as plantas são utilizadas concomitantemente ao uso de medicamentos sintéticos, posto que estes últimos são muitas vezes considerados mais caros. Dessa forma, é crescente a procura por plantas medicinais e aromáticas em diversos países, devido à tendência dos consumidores em utilizarem, preferencialmente, produtos farmacêuticos ou alimentícios de origem natural.…”

The use of medicinal plants is widespread throughout the world including Brazil, where there is a great variety of species and extensive tradition in its use. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of the following essential oils; Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E. Brown (Verbenaceae), and Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf individually as well as its mixture. The extraction of these essential oils was done with dried leaves, using the technique of distillation by steam suction on the Clevenger apparatus for a period of 3 hours. Antifungal activity was determined by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), obtained by micro-dilution techniques and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC), front strains of Candida albicans (ATCC 10231), Candida tropicalis (ATCC 28707) and Candida parapsilosis (ATCC 22019).From the results obtained, it was found that the essential oils Lippia alba and Cymbopogon citratus showed antifungal activity against all strains of Candida, being that better activity was observed by the essential oil of Cymbopogon citratus. It was also seen that the blend of the essential oils did not strengthen the antifungal activity against the microorganisms that were tested. However, this study was only the first step, requiring new research to assess the interaction between the oils, as well as determine which specific substances are responsible for this activity.
