Resumo: | Ethnobotanical studies in Brazil have shown that teas are the main form of therapeutic treatment in traditional communities. The aim of this research was to evaluate the knowledge of traditional practices in Urubueua de Fátima River community in Abaetetuba, Pará through identification of the plants used to prepare medicinal teas and the local methods of preparation. We also evaluated the importance of plants for therapy and treatment of the most frequent diseases, and investigated the quality of drinking water for the population, which is essential for the preparation of teas, and the relationship between water quality and riparian health. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 35 locals, and for each plant species used we calculated importance value, percent agreement on primary uses, percent agreement on corrected primary uses, and interviewee consensus factor. Microbiological analysis was conducted for water samples collected at three different points of Urubueua River. Eighty-two recipes of therapeutic teas were reported in total. Mentha sp. had the highest importance value, and Lippia alba (Mill) NE Brown and Ficus maxima Mill were the plants most agreed upon concerning primary reasons for use. Residents aged between 60 and 69 years hold vast knowledge of tea plants and recipes, which are often employed in traditional medicines. Total and fecal coliforms present in samples from the population water supply indicate a risk for diarrheal disease, as mentioned in recurring clinical data. |

Objetivou-se valorizar os conhecimentos tradicionais na comunidade Rio Urubueua de Fátima, Abaetetuba – PA, por meio da identificação das plantas medicinais empregadas em chás e suas formas de preparo, atribuindo a estas a sua importância na terapêutica e no tratamento das enfermidades mais recorrentes, além de investigar a qualidade das águas de consumo da população, indispensável ao preparo dos chás, e a sua relação com a saúde dos ribeirinhos. A partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com 35 interlocutores, foram calculados para as espécies: valor de importância, concordância quanto aos usos principais, concordância quanto aos usos principais corrigidos e o fator de consenso do informante. A fim de averiguar a qualidade da água, foi feita análise microbiológica de amostras coletadas em três diferentes pontos do rio Urubueua. Foram citadas 82 receitas de chás terapêuticos. Mentha sp. obteve o maior valor de importância e, juntamente com Lippia alba (Mill) N. E. Brown. e Ficus maxima Mill., o maior índice de concordância quanto ao uso principal corrigido. Os moradores na faixa etária entre 60 e 69 anos detêm vasto conhecimento de plantas e receitas a base de chás, frequentemente empregados na sua medicina tradicional. Da água utilizada pelos moradores, foram quantificados coliformes totais e termotolerantes em todas as amostras, sendo um fator de risco para a doença diarreica, mencionada em quadros clínicos recorrentes.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2016-05-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2016v29n2p7710.5007/2175-7925.2016v29n2p77Biotemas; v. 29 n. 2 (2016); 77-882175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2016v29n2p77/31673Copyright (c) 2016 Patricia Homobono Brito de Moura, Flávia Cristina Araújo Lucas, Ana Cláudia Caldeira Tavares-Martins, Gerciene de Jesus Miranda Lobato, Ely Simone Cajueiro Gurgelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoura, Patricia Homobono Brito deLucas, Flávia Cristina AraújoTavares-Martins, Ana Cláudia CaldeiraLobato, Gerciene de Jesus MirandaGurgel, Ely Simone Cajueiro2017-10-18T18:55:59Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/38435Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2017-10-18T18:55:59Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
