Abstract
The traditional knowledge in the use of medicinal plants of quilombola communities is wide and diverse and is studied by ethnobotany and/or ethnopharmacology. This paper aims to synthesize the ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal plants from quilombola communities. This is an integrative review conducted in the Scopus, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online/US National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE/PubMed), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) and Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science. A total of 165 studies were identified, of which 16 met the inclusion criteria. A large number and diversity of plant species and therapeutic indications were evidenced. We concluded that traditional quilombola knowledge in the use of medicinal plants is supported by biomedical and non-biomedical rationalities, such as traditional African and indigenous medicine.
