Resumo: The use of plants for medicinal purposes is an ancient culture that has been linked to humanity since its beginnings, and many of these plants are currently used in Afro-Brazilian rituals to cure and prevent diseases. The present study sought to identify the medicinal plants of Afro-Brazilian culture used in the rituals of Umbanda, in the municipality of São Borja/RS, as well as their mystical and therapeutic use. Methodologically, discursive textual analysis was adopted, which aims to produce understandings about qualitative data and information. The data obtained were compared with ethnobotanical studies published in recent years. When confronting the literature, 65.2% of the medicinal plants mentioned in this study had a direct or indirect correlation with the therapeutic indications mentioned by Umbandistas, assisting in the restoration of human health. Moreover, it was possible to verify the lack of interdisciplinary studies that investigate the biological activities of the plants, mainly those reported as in common use in the Umbanda centers. Rescuing this knowledge is extremely important to minimize the negative image that this culture has in society, in addition to intensifying the understanding of the religious diversity that exists in our country.
