In this context, thesurvey presented in this article aims to provide information about the plants traditionally used for therapeuticpurposes through visits and interviews in the community. Data collection was carried out through semistructured questionnaires, and the species mentioned were collected, herborized, deposited at Recôncavoda Bahia Herbarium HURB, for botanical identification and subjected to literature review. Of the 82 plantsreported, Erva Cidreira, Capim Santo, Espinho Cheiroso, Sete Sangria and Mastruz, stand out for theirfrequency of citations. They were mainly indicated for the treatment of inflammatory, infectious respiratoryand cardiovascular diseases. The literature review conducted for the 16 most cited plants demonstrated thatmajority of indications corroborate with pre-clinical and clinical studies. Thus, the study, with its local novelty,highlights the valorization of community knowledge, preserving cultural heritage, and contributes to thepreservation of local biodiversity.
