【 摘 要 】

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7925.2016v29n1p115The present study aimed to perform an ethnobotanical survey of medicinal plants marketed by the population of the municipality of Uruará, Pará, and its main districts. The respondents mentioned 63 species distributed in 36 botanical families. The most representative families were Lamiaceae, Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Rutaceae. The species with the highest Use Value were capim cidreira ( Cymbopogon citratus , UV = 0.90), mastruz ( Chenopodium ambrosioides , UV = 0.83) and hortelã ( Menthasp., UV = 0.79), while capim cidreira ( Cymbopogon citratus ) and picão ( Bidens pilosa ) had a higher indicator value, and were indicated as a tranquilizer/painkiller and for treating kidney disease, respectively. Among the main disorders treated with medicinal plants, diseases of the digestive system, infections/inflammations, colds and respiratory system diseases were the most cited. There was no significant difference between the number of species mentioned and the number of individuals per family or the distance of households to the urban zone. There was also no difference between the number of species mentioned and education level. Most medicinal plants marketed in the municipality are herbs, leaves are the most used parts and the most common form of preparation is tea.
