Ethnobotanical Surveys of Plants Used by Quilombola Communities in Brazil: A Scoping Review

Abstract

Quilombola communities play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity through traditional management models. The use of medicinal plants within these communities reflects a deep reservoir of knowledge, passed down through generations. The objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review to systematically analyze and synthesize the existing literature on the medicinal plants used by Quilombola communities in Brazil, with a focus on their therapeutic applications and cultural significance. The Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) strategy was utilized, where the population refers to the Quilombolas, the concept pertains to medicinal plants, and the context involves illness. A total of 888 studies were initially identified, but only 10 met the inclusion criteria, covering 297 plant species from 80 different families. These plants are employed in a wide range of therapeutic applications, with decoction, alcohol maceration, and infusion being the most common methods of preparation. The study highlights the rich ethnopharmacological knowledge held by Quilombola communities and underscores the need for greater recognition and integration of this traditional knowledge into public health practices. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of preserving and validating the use of medicinal plants by these communities, which could serve as a foundation for future pharmacological discoveries and the development of culturally appropriate health interventions.

1. Introduction

Brazil is recognized as the most biodiverse country in the world, containing six biomes that highlight its rich and varied flora [1]. The Ministry of the Environment reports that 46,355 plant species have been documented across the nation [2]. However, Brazil has experienced ongoing environmental degradation, largely due to economic activities that began during the colonial period. This has led to a significant loss of many species, including those with important therapeutic properties [3].

The knowledge of medicinal plant use for therapeutic purposes is deeply rooted in traditional populations, particularly among Quilombola and indigenous communities [4]. Quilombola communities, in particular, play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity through their traditional management practices [5]. Understanding the interactions within these traditional communities is vital for developing public policies that aim to preserve their cultural heritage and support the continuation of their knowledge and practices [6].

For two centuries, Brazil was a major participant in the transatlantic slave trade, standing out for both the large number of enslaved Africans it trafficked and the prolonged duration of this practice within its borders [7]. Enslaved Africans were subjected to various forms of physical, social, and psychological violence, leading many to flee in search of safer spaces, which resulted in the creation of quilombos—fortresses of resistance and cultural preservation [8]. These communities became sanctuaries where the African identity, culture, and knowledge, both ancestral and gained in Brazil, were maintained and reinvented [9]. The intimate connection with nature in these territories ensured the perpetuation of their way of life [10]. However, the lack of legal recognition for Quilombola territories has led to ongoing disputes that expose these communities to social vulnerabilities, such as rural violence and inequities in accessing health services [11]. Stigmatized and marginalized, many Quilombolas feel alienated from broader society and often turn to traditional healers instead of utilizing the limited services available to them [12].

The use of medicinal plants reflects the accumulated knowledge of traditional communities, passed down through generations, primarily through oral tradition. This empirical knowledge is deeply rooted in the lived experiences of these communities [13].

Medicinal plant species hold great significance in these communities, particularly as they emphasize sustainable development [14]. This emphasis on sustainability enhances the living conditions of these populations, as they possess extensive knowledge of plants and methods for treating various ailments. It is, therefore, crucial to integrate scientific and traditional knowledge to strengthen plant conservation practices [14].

Ethnobotanical surveys are conducted to underscore the importance of these plants in the discovery of new medicines and to deepen our understanding of the intricate relationships between communities and their local flora. These surveys also explore the cultural practices and beliefs associated with different plant uses [15,16]. Research on the use of medicinal plants by Quilombola communities is not only relevant but also vital for advancing scientific knowledge, preserving cultural heritage, and promoting sustainable development at both national and international levels.

Recognizing the importance of preserving cultural traditions alongside therapeutic practices involving medicinal plants, it is essential to review the existing literature. This will help systematize knowledge and expand scientific research on the subject. Thus, the objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review on the use of medicinal plants by Quilombola communities in Brazil.

2. Materials and Methods

This study followed a combination of two contemporary protocols for conducting scoping reviews: the PRISMA-ScR guidelines [17] and the Joanna Briggs Institute [18]. The final protocol has been registered with the Open Science Framework (osf.io/h4u82). To be included in the study, publications had to meet the following criteria: (i) they must be peer-reviewed; (ii) they must identify, through herbarium specimens, which plants Quilombola communities use to treat health problems; and (iii) they must be written in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. There were no restrictions on the publication date. Excluded materials included reviews, book chapters, books, theses, dissertations, monographs, letters to the editor, and case reports. These eligibility criteria are consistent with the “Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer’s Manual” [18].

The Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) strategy was employed to determine the key topics [18]. In this framework, “population” referred to the Quilombolas, “concept” to medicinal plants, and “context” to health-related issues. Studies that did not explicitly identify their samples as Quilombolas were excluded, given that public health policies for Quilombolas are based on official recognition of individuals or communities as such.

The bibliographic databases selected for the search were as follows: the Virtual Health Library (VHL), PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and SciELO. Additionally, a manual search was conducted using reference lists from Google Scholar to include gray literature and extend the search scope. Metadata from the search databases were exported to the Rayyan QCRI online platform (RRID:SCR_017584) for analysis.

The search algorithm was tailored to each database, using the following Mesh Terms combined with the Boolean operators “OR” and “AND”: (i) “Ethnic Groups” OR “Quilombolas” AND “Plants, medicinal” OR “Phytotherapy” OR “Medicine, traditional” OR “Ethnobotany”; (ii) “Surveys” OR “questionnaires” OR “Ethnic groups” OR “Quilombolas” AND “Medicinal plants” OR “Phytotherapy” OR “Traditional medicine” OR “Ethnobotany”. The search was conducted in both Portuguese and English to maximize the search scope. There was no limitation on the study period, and the geographical scope covered the entire country, as Quilombola communities are found exclusively in Brazil.

Two reviewers independently and blindly assessed all the identified papers. The Rayyan platform was used for this selection process. Initially, duplicates were removed, followed by incomplete abstracts. The remaining papers were then evaluated based on their titles and abstracts, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In cases of a discrepancy, a third reviewer (A.L.V.C.) was consulted. Researchers underwent prior calibration using 177 studies, and the intra-examiner agreement was verified (100% agreement; kappa 1.00, 95% CI; 95.74% agreement; kappa 0.91, 95% CI; 100% agreement; kappa 1.00, 95% CI, for examiners 1, 2, and 3, respectively) as well as inter-observer agreement (96.25% agreement; kappa 0.93, 95% CI).

The extracted information included the study’s characteristics (the authors, year of publication, and objective), research specifics (the location, design, and sample), and details on the plants used (their scientific name, preparation method, and the health condition treated). The main findings were synthesized following the “JBI Evidence Synthesis Manual” guidelines [19].

The results were organized and presented according to the medicinal applications of the plants. All the plants are listed in Table 1, categorized by the cited literature, year of publication, Quilombola community location, plant family, species, common name, part used, and therapeutic indications. After organizing the data, the scientific names of each plant were verified using the Tropicos platform (https://www.tropicos.org/home—accessed on 27 August 2024), and their conservation status was assessed through the Flora and Funga of Brazil 2020 platform (https://floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br—accessed on 27 August 2024).

In the synthesis of the results, we used the International Classification of Primary Care—ICPC-2 [20] to identify the bodily systems most frequently targeted by medicinal plants in Quilombola communities.

3. Results

Using the search criteria, 888 articles were identified. After reviewing the titles and abstracts, 38 studies were selected for further evaluation. Of these, 30 were excluded following a full-text review for not meeting the inclusion criteria, leaving eight studies that were included in the final analysis. An additional two studies were included after a manual search. The details of the research process are illustrated in Flowchart 1 (Figure 1). Across all the selected studies, 297 plants from 80 different families were identified (Figure 2). These plants were used for a wide range of therapeutic purposes. Moreover, the plants were known by various common names, which differed depending on the region where each study was conducted. The most frequently mentioned methods for preparing the harvested plant parts were decoction, alcohol maceration, maceration, and infusion (Table 1).

The most frequently cited families were Asteraceae Bercht. and J. Presl, with 42 citations [21,22,23,24,26,28], followed by Lamiaceae Martinov [21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28], and Euphorbiaceae Juss [21,22,23,24,28].

The most commonly cited species in the selected articles were Lippia alba (Mill.) Britton and P. Wilson [21,22,23,28], Petiveria alliacea L. [22,23,26,27], Momordica charantia L. [21,22,28], Ocimum basilicum L. [21,22,23], Ruta graveolens L. [21,22,24,27], and Senna occidentalis (L.) Link [21,22,24,26].

The studies included in this research were conducted in communities located in the states of Paraíba, Bahia, Alagoas, Mato Grosso, São Paulo, and Pará. Of the 297 cited species, only 35 are listed in the Brazilian Phytotherapeutic Formulary, a platform that provides information on the correct methods of preparation, indication, and restrictions for the use of medicinal plants in pharmacies, authorized by the National Health Surveillance System [29]. This highlights the importance of research on the medicinal plants used by Quilombola communities, as it contributes to the broader adoption of integrative and complementary health practices.

The most cited usage categories include the digestive system (213 mentions), with common conditions like abdominal pain and liver issues; the respiratory system (179 mentions), dominated by treatments for flu and cough; and general and non-specific conditions (157 mentions), such as malaria, fever, and inflammation. Other significant categories include the nervous system (84 mentions) and the circulatory system (66 mentions), reflecting the communities’ focus on managing headaches, mental health, and cardiovascular conditions. These data underscore the comprehensive knowledge and varied use of medicinal plants across different health-related issues in these communities.

According to the flora and fauna of Brazil, the species Amburana cearensis (Allem.) A.C. Smith, Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart. ex DC.) Mattos, Cuscuta obtusiflora Kunth, Piper scutatum Yunck, and Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart. ex DC.) Mattos are classified as “near threatened”. All other species are classified as “Least Concern” (LC) or have no estimated risk, according to the flora and fauna of Brazil.

4. Discussion

For Quilombola communities, the concept of health extends beyond the biological dimension to encompass social, psychological, and political factors. Health is closely tied to their way of life, their connection with nature, and their experiences within their territories. The relationship between the community and nature is therefore a crucial element for the well-being of these populations. This highlights the importance of caring for nature, maintaining direct contact with it, and understanding the interconnectedness between the health of the land and the health of the people [30].

When it comes to accessing health services, it is evident that the basic care available to the Quilombola population, which still heavily relies on the biomedical model focused on curing and medicalization, fails to fully address the specific needs of these communities. Fragmented health care remains prevalent [31]. The use of natural resources for treating illnesses and caring for ecosystems are longstanding traditions among Quilombola communities [23]. These traditions are passed down through generations, though each new generation may introduce new practices and uses. Within the broad ethnobotanical knowledge of these communities, medicinal plants play a key role in the treatment of various diseases, contributing to both environmental conservation and community health [32].

The transmission of knowledge about the use of medicinal plants helps to preserve and strengthen tradition, ensuring it remains alive and contributing to the cultivation of these plants [23]. In this study, it was observed that the same plant species were used for different purposes, depending on the Quilombola community. For instance, in the northeast of Brazil, Eryngium foetidum L. and Foeniculum vulgare Mill. are used to treat heart attacks and colds, respectively, whereas in the southeast, they are used for snakebites and dysentery. As knowledge is passed down through generations, interpretations of this information and external factors can influence how the therapeutic properties of plants are applied in each region [23].

Alternanthera brasiliana (L.) Kuntze was used for treating headaches, while Annona muricata L. was indicated for cancer and diabetes in different regions. The use of the same plant species for treating the same disease in various locations suggests their wide distribution across territories and their effectiveness in treating specific conditions [33]. Lippia alba is utilized across four different communities with varying therapeutic applications, highlighting the diversity of traditional knowledge, even when the same species is involved. Interestingly, Momordica charantia exhibits different applications in geographically distant communities, while its use converges when the communities are in closer proximity. This pattern underscores how both cultural and environmental factors, such as local ecosystems and cultural traditions, influence the choice and preparation of medicinal plants. These findings emphasize the dynamic nature of traditional knowledge, shaped by both shared heritage and local adaptations.

This study, while comprehensive, has some limitations, such as the lack of specific scientific data on the biological and pharmacological properties of many of the plants mentioned by Quilombola communities. Additionally, the variability in documentation and methodologies across the studies reviewed may have limited the comparability of the data. However, this study’s main strength lies in its ability to gather and organize a wide range of traditional knowledge, providing a solid foundation for future ethnopharmacological research and the integration of this knowledge into public health practices. For readers, the study offers the opportunity to appreciate traditional knowledge and understand the connections between culture, health, and biodiversity, while also highlighting the urgent need for further scientific research to deepen our understanding of the plants used by these communities and their potential therapeutic applications.

In our study, the most commonly used plant parts by the surveyed communities were the leaves. Leaves are preferred for therapeutic preparations because they are easier to collect and more readily available compared to flowers, fruits, and seeds, which may not be accessible year-round [34]. Additionally, traditional communities favor leaves because they believe these parts accumulate active components through photosynthetic pigments, such as alkaloids and tannins [35,36]. Decoction and infusion were the most frequently cited preparation methods in the studies, likely due to the simplicity of using water for preparation [36]. Preparing teas aids in the extraction of active compounds from the plant and helps preserve the solution for longer periods [37].

The study of plants that are endangered or near threatened is crucial for the preservation of native flora, especially in the context of climate change. As ecosystems face increasing pressure from rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and habitat destruction, understanding the status and conservation needs of these species becomes imperative. Protecting these plants not only helps maintain biodiversity but also ensures the survival of traditional knowledge and practices that rely on these species, particularly within communities that have historically depended on them for their health and well-being.

On the other hand, the use of plants based on traditional knowledge holds scientific significance, as it provides direction for research, saving both time and resources [37]. Traditional knowledge helps in selecting plants with potential applications in medicine production. In this context, the discovery of new active molecules often involves a combination of traditional and scientific knowledge [38]. Therefore, the use of medicinal plants by these communities may contribute valuable evidence for the development of pharmaceuticals [39].

5. Conclusions

This study highlights the importance of traditional knowledge in the use of medicinal plants among Quilombola communities in Brazil. The diversity of plant species used and the variations in therapeutic applications across different regions demonstrate the richness and adaptability of this knowledge over time. Additionally, the predominant use of leaves in therapeutic preparations and methods such as decoction and infusion reflect the practical wisdom of these communities in extracting active compounds. Preserving and recognizing this knowledge not only contributes to the health and well-being of these communities but also provides a valuable resource for scientific research and the development of integrative health practices. Consequently, this work serves as a foundation for future studies that seek to deepen the understanding and application of Quilombola ethnopharmacological knowledge, fostering cultural conservation and scientific innovation. To achieve this, future research should aim to integrate other disciplines, such as pharmacology, anthropology, environmental science, and history, in an interdisciplinary effort to better understand the evolution of plant use and uncover how traditional knowledge can contribute to sustainable development. Furthermore, it is crucial to ensure the active participation of Quilombola communities in future research, safeguarding their knowledge and ensuring that they directly benefit from any research based on their traditional practices.
