“…Medicinal plants and herbal medicines are the most commonly used CAM types through the "not-funded" therapies. According to some studies, the knowledge about plants usually passes down through generations within a family, with emphasis on the role of the mother and friends, indicating the strong sociocultural component of this practice and the scarce use of this CAM within the health care system [48,49]. The choice of using medicinal plants is often not only due to the availability of the local flora, but also because it is considered healthier and more natural, and because it does not have the adverse effects of many allopathic medicines [48,50].…”

Background: The use of medicinal plants or other alternative practices can be the only therapeutic resources for many communities and ethnic groups, especially in developing countries. In Brazil, the Ministry of Health incorporated Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) as a public health policy since 2006. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of CAM use in Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed as an epidemiological survey, with data from the National Health Survey, 2013 that evaluated a sample of adult Brazilians (18+ years old). The outcome was the use of CAM therapies, such as acupuncture, homeopathy, medicinal plants and herbal medicines in the last 12 months. We employed a logistic regression model (CI 95%) to evaluate the chances of CAM use. Results: The prevalence of CAM use in Brazil was 4.5%. The subjects with higher chances to use CAM were: women (AOR = 1.42), aged > 40 years (AOR = 1.64), with higher educational levels (AOR = 2.35), and residents at North (AOR = 2.02) and South (AOR = 1.67) regions of Brazil, all with p-value < 0.001. According to the socioeconomic status, subjects from upper classes had higher chances to use acupuncture and homeopathy when compared to the other classes, and individuals from lower classes had higher chances to use medicinal plants and herbal medicines. Almost half of all individuals reporting CAM use did so outside the health care system. The Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) was the least used funding for CAM when compared to other types of funding. Conclusions: We recommend that the Ministry of Health invests in capacity building for health professionals who work with CAM, providing structure for those practices in health services, increasing the access of CAM therapies for SUS users, and improving the registering of information about those therapies, encouraging the use of CAM by the Brazilian population.

“…Percebe-se que independente da região do país certas plantas medicinais estão entre as mais usadas pelas populações para o tratamento de problemas de saúde, assim como, o uso de plantas medicinais é uma ferramenta terapêutica e cultural importante, largamente utilizado pelas populações das periferias para a obtenção da cura de agravos (ALMEIDA, 2015). Essas curas populares são um saber herdado oralmente dos mais velhos, por alguns membros de certas famílias ou, podem ser adquiridos na vivência social, como prática no cuidado da saúde, exercido desde o início da colonização, fazendo parte da história e da realidade local (LIMA et al, 2016).…”

Thus, the study aimed to know about the use of medicinal plants in the community of Alto da Cruz in the neighborhood Pitiú in urban area of the municipality of Baturité, Ceará, in the cure of diseases. For that, a quantitative-qualitative structured questionnaire composed of 20 questions related to the use of medicinal plants was applied from may to october 2017 and interviewed 50 people of both sexes aged between 18 and 84 years.

O uso das plantas medicinais e o papel da fé no cuidado familiar

Abstract: The research revealed that medicinal plants go beyond the merely biological relationship in the family care system. Use of these plants is not based on the principle of buying and selling, but rather on the act of exchanging, giving, receiving, and reciprocating.
