Resumo
A psoríase é uma doença que atinge cerca de 2 a 3% da população mundial. É
caracterizada por sintomas que incluem vermelhidão, descamação, prurido, dor e, por
vezes, sangramento. É uma doença inflamatória crônica, que causa diversos
malefícios não somente físicos, mas, também, psicológicos ao indivíduo. A sua
patologia ainda não é totalmente esclarecida, mas sabe-se que fatores químicos,
físicos e ambientais influenciam no seu desenvolvimento e agravamento. A
terapêutica convencional para esta doença envolve a utilização crônica de agentes
tópicos, sistêmicos e biológicos, que apesar de demonstrarem eficácia, têm como
consequências relevantes efeitos nefastos à saúde. Por esse motivo, levam os
pacientes à baixa adesão da terapêutica e, consequente impedimento ao sucesso
desta. Os produtos à base de plantas vêm como uma opção de recurso barato e que
pode ser usado a longo prazo. Até a data, foi demonstrada por meio de artigos a
eficácia que algumas plantas têm em relação a psoríase. O presente trabalho tem
como objetivo a discussão sobre a doença psoríase, sua etiologia, causas/efeitos e
terapêutica, além de ser demonstrar a eficácia de 7 plantas medicinais em seu
tratamento. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de cunho exploratório e
documental, utilizando as bases de dados: SciELO, PubMed e Periódicos de
Universidades, que tivessem sido indexadas entre 2010 a 2020. Os resultados obtidos
mostram um ótimo potencial das plantas medicinais, que podem ser explorados até
para tratamentos de outras dermatites, além de serem feitas várias formulações com
extratos ativos purificados.
Psoriasis is a disease that affects about 2 to 3% of the world population. It is caracterized by symptoms that include redness, flaking, itching, pain and sometimes bleeding. It is an inflammatory and chronic disease, causing several harm not only physical, but also psychological to the individual. Its pathology is not yet fully understood, but it is known that chemical, physical and environmental factors influence its development and worsening. Conventional therapy for this pathology involves the chronic use of topical, systemic and biological agents, which despite showing efficacy, have the consequent relevant adverse health effects. For this reason, they lead patients to low adherence to therapy, and consequently impedes its success. Herbal products come as an inexpensive resource option that can be used in the long run. To date, articles have demonstrated the efficacy that some plants have in relation to psoriasis dermatological disease. This paper aims to discuss psoriasis disease, its etiology, causes / effects and therapy, in addition to demonstrating the effectiveness of 7 medicinal plants for its treatment. To this end, a bibliographic search, exploratory and documentary, was carried out, using the databases: SciELO, PubMed and University Journals, which had been indexed between 2010 and 2020. The results obtained show a very good and effective potential of the plants medicinal, which can be explored even for other dermatitis treatments, in addition to several formulations with purified active extracts.
