Abstract

Medicinal plants have active principles that help in the treatment of diseases and can lead to healing. They are used by means of teas or infusions that must be ingested during the duration of the treatment. Even today, in the poorest regions of the country, these plants are being marketed in open markets, markets, and are still found in quintals for their phytotherapeutic use. In the last decade, however, medicinal plants have become a valuable product, with countries such as Germany, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan being the largest importers of medicinal and aromatic plants. Thus, this work refers to a prospective study of articles and patents related to plant species of medicinal interest, where are verified some indicators that demonstrate the importance of knowledge of the use of them as well as market interest.
