Resumo: | According to the World Health Organization, traditional medicine is the sum of personal experiences of a culture resorted to prevent, treat and cure physical and mental diseases. In northeastern Brazil, the use of medicinal plants as a therapeutic practice is diffusely present. In this context, public markets shelter herbalists, guiding the use and preparation plant, conserving the oral transmission. The Ethnobotany arises as a mediator between scientific and traditional discourses involving the cultural factor and its interpretation. The aim was to investigate the popular and traditional practices of medicinal plants using commercialized in three public markets in Northeast Brazil. It was characterized as observational, descriptive and exploratory, held in São Sebastião (CE), Central (PB) and São José (PE) markets in the period from February to August 2011. It was applied a questionnaire addressing socioeconomic issues on the trade of plants and information about each species sold. 33 participants registered herbalists, of whom 57.6% were female (n = 19), 24.2% were older than 60 years old and 96.9% were born in the Northeast (n = 32). Regarding education, 42.4% completed high school (n = 14). They sold an average of 40 units per day, and getting less than the minimum monthly wage by 28.5% of cases (n = 6), among those who answered this question. The average working time in this job was 16 years. Used as a source of knowledge the interpersonal relationships 37% (n = 29) and 9.63% have attended some training on the management of medicinal plants (n = 3). Of the species mentioned (n = 311), came to the number of 43 matching the three markets. We calculated the relative importance (RI), and the most outstanding plants: rosemary (RI = 1.87); jatobá (RI = 1.72) and eucalyptus (RI = 1.44). After botanical identification of the material-witness, it was confirmed the nomination popular to rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.). The samples provided by middlemen jatobá Central Market, PB, were infertile, precluding accurate identification (Hymenaea courbaril aff.). The samples from Ceara and Pernambuco were identified as Hymenea stignocarpa Hayde. The Eucalyptus was sold, which, according to scientific literature should be used as a household disinfectant. It was also observed, the Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), and treatment for disorders of the respiratory system the most prevalent (ICF = 0.65), with 64 species listed and 17 different types of uses reported. The absence of group activities affect the quality of that office, putting at risk the health of the population that uses the herbalists hoping the cure for their ills. The educational workshops on the proper use of medicinal plants could qualify these professionals, stimulate the entry of more people in this activity and (re)gain the recognition of Brazilian society practices of popular and traditional use of medicinal plants. |

Etnobotânica de plantas medicinais comercializadas em mercados públicos do nordeste brasileiroEthnobotany of medicinal plants sold in public markets of the brazilian northeastEtnobotânicaPlantas MedicinaisAccording to the World Health Organization, traditional medicine is the sum of personal experiences of a culture resorted to prevent, treat and cure physical and mental diseases.

No Nordeste brasileiro, o uso de plantas medicinais como prática terapêutica está constantemente presente. Nesse contexto, os mercados públicos abrigam os herbanários, orientadores do uso e preparo de plantas, conservando a transmissão oral. A etnobotânica surge como mediadora entre os discursos científico e tradicional, envolvendo o fator cultural e sua interpretação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar as práticas populares e tradicionais de uso de plantas medicinais comercializadas em três mercados públicos do Nordeste brasileiro. Caracterizou-se como observacional, descritivo e exploratório, realizado nos mercados São Sebastião, Ceará, Central de João Pessoa, Paraíba e São José, Pernambuco, no período de fevereiro a agosto de 2011. Aplicou-se um questionário abordando questões socioeconômicas, sobre o comércio de plantas e informações sobre cada espécie vegetal vendida. Participaram 33 herbanários cadastrados nesses mercados, destes, 57,6% do sexo feminino (n=19), 24,2% possuíam mais de 60 anos de idade e 96,9% eram naturais do Nordeste (n=32). Em relação à escolaridade, 42,4% concluíram o ensino médio (n=14). Vendiam em média 40 unidades de espécies vegetais por dia, sendo a remuneração inferior a um salário mínimo mensal em 28,5% dos casos (n=6), dentre os que responderam essa questão. O tempo médio de trabalho nesse ofício foi de 16 anos. Utilizavam como fonte de conhecimento as relações interpessoais 37% (n=29), e 9,63% já participaram de algum treinamento sobre o manejo de plantas medicinais (n=3). Do total de espécies citadas (n=311), chegou-se ao número de 43 coincidentes nos três mercados. Calculou-se a importância relativa (IR) , sendo as plantas de maior destaque: alecrim (IR=1,87); jatobá (IR=1,72) e eucalipto (IR=1,44). Após identificação botânica do material-testemunho, confirmou-se a indicação popular para o alecrim (Rosmarinus officinalis L.). As amostras de jatobá fornecidas por fornecedores do Mercado Central de João Pessoa estavam inférteis, impossibilitando a identificação precisa (Hymenaea aff courbaril.). Já as do Ceará e Pernambuco, foram identificadas como Hymenea stignocarpa Hayde O eucalipto comercializado era o Eucalyptus citriodora, o qual, segundo à literatura científica, deveria ser utilizado como desinfetante doméstico. Foi observado, também, o Fator do Consenso do Informante (FCI), sendo o tratamento para transtornos do sistema respiratório o mais prevalente (FCI=0,65), apresentando 64 espécies citadas e 17 tipos de usos distintos reportados. A ausência de atividades em grupo prejudica a qualidade desse ofício, colocando em risco a saúde da população que recorre aos herbanários na esperança de cura para seus males. A realização de oficinas educativas sobre o uso adequado de plantas medicinais poderia qualificar essa profissão, estimular a entrada de mais pessoas nessa atividade e (re)conquistar da sociedade brasileira o reconhecimento das práticas populares e tradicionais do uso de plantas medicinais.Fonteles, Marta Maria de FrançaVieira, Vanessa Maria de Souza Fernandes2013-01-23T11:40:31Z2013-01-23T11:40:31Z2012info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfVIEIRA, V.
