Item Conhecimento popular sobre o uso de plantas medicinais em São Gabriel da Cachoeira - AM(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2019-10-04) Leal, Ana Carolina da Costa; Cavalcante, Heloide de Lima; Liberato, Maria Astrid RochaPopular knowledge about the use of plants for medicinal purposes can be considered a cultural heritage as it is such a rich knowledge that can mean the cure of diseases that are now considered incurable, through in-depth studies on the empirical knowledge transmitted from generation to generation. The research was conducted in two neighborhoods of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, the Padre Cícero neighborhood located closest to the city center and the Tiago Montalvo neighborhood located on the ethnobotanical survey of medicinal plants. Houses with vegetation grown in pots or directly in the soil were selected. For data collection, a semi-structured investigative interview was conducted with adult residents, preferably those responsible for the care of plants, to obtain information on the indication of use and form of consumption. Thirty semi-structured interviews were conducted with the residents of the Padre Cícero and Tiago Montalvo neighborhoods, with 15 interviews in each neighborhood. A total of 40 species and 28 botanical families were found, and one has not been identified so far. It was found that women are responsible for the care and cultivation of plants and that both neighborhoods have high knowledge about the use of medicinal plants and wide variety of plants.
