Abstract

O emprego de plantas medicinais na recuperação da saúde tem ocorrido e vem evoluindo ao longo dos tempos. É comum o cultivo de plantas medicinais nos quintais das residências dos agricultores. Quando necessário àqueles que não cultivam recorrem aos vizinhos para obtenção de ramos de plantas. O Projeto “Ervanário Regional de Valorização da Agroecologia Familiar e da Saúde – ERVAS” - visa proporcionar a diminuição dos gastos do poder público municipal com a aquisição de medicamentos convencionais, disponibilizando manipulados elaborados a partir das plantas medicinais, adquiridas dos agricultores familiares, aos usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS. Uma das pesquisas de campo, relatada neste artigo, foi desenvolvida de setembro de 2006 à janeiro de 2007 no município de Mutuípe - BA. A escolha desta localidade deveu-se as suas características econômicas que se baseiam predominantemente em atividades agrícolas da agricultura familiar. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, gravadas com a autorização prévia dos agricultores, em duas comunidades rurais participantes da etapa piloto do projeto. Os agricultores secionados foram aqueles reconhecidos nas comunidades como detentores do saber tradicional sobre plantas medicinais. Posteriormente foi procedida a coleta das plantas medicinais citadas pelos informantes. Os problemas de saúde mais comuns e freqüentes nestas comunidades rurais de Mutuípe/BA foram: gripe, pressão alta, diabetes, infecção urinária, reumatismo entre outros. Os informantes relataram que a estratégia de tratamento primeiramente utilizada é com plantas medicinais, posteriormente o uso de medicamentos convencionais. A parte das plantas mais utilizada para o uso foi a folha, seguida de fruto, sementes, e raízes. A forma de preparo predominante das plantas medicinais foi o chá (processo de decocção), mas também é feito o uso de outras formas como solução alcoólica, xarope.
