Abstract

The searching for cure through medicinal plants dates back to the earliest times of human civilization, and it currently stands out due to the availability of several promising species for pharmacological studies. In this study, we evaluated the ethnomedical knowledge of the Coqueiros Community, in the municipality of Catalão (GO), specifically investigating the use of plants for treating respiratory system diseases. In order, to do this we interviewed 32 inhabitants of this community, who informed 20 different species. When comparing the data obtained from common knowledge with the scientific knowledge found in specialized literature, we noted that 90% of the mentioned species had been reported in literature as alternative therapies for respiratory system diseases.
