ETHNOBOTANICAL STUDY OF MEDICINAL PLANTS IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
Ethnobotany. Primary Health Care. Pregnant women. Hiperdia Group.
Plants are used by different peoples, of different races and ages, whether for curative and/or food purposes, in this context, we seek to verify how medicinal plants are being used by users of the unified health system (SUS) as well as which plants are used, method of preparation, collection, parts of plants used and purpose. An ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used by the population assisted at the Basic Health Unit will be carried out. The research has a qualitative character, where a semi-structured questionnaire will be used and the respondents will be people who are part of the Hiperdia and prenatal group. From the data collected with the population, it was possible to observe that there is a need to discuss issues related to medicinal plants and environmental education within the scope of Primary Health Care (PHC).
