Resumo
Introdução: Neste estudo, conduzimos uma análise abrangente de 15 artigos científicos com
o propósito de investigar o uso dos descritores "tradicional", "indígena" e "popular" no contexto
da fitoterapia brasileira. A fitoterapia é uma prática terapêutica que utiliza plantas medicinais
para promover a saúde e tratar doenças, baseando-se no conhecimento ancestral e popular sobre
as propriedades medicinais das plantas. Objetivo: Nosso objetivo principal foi compreender a
maneira como esses descritores são empregados em cada contexto e examinar se há um
reconhecimento adequado dos saberes ancestrais indígenas nessa área de estudo tão relevante.
Métodos: Para alcançar nossos objetivos, adotamos uma abordagem meticulosa, considerando
cada artigo como uma peça valiosa do quebra-cabeça. Através de análises, verificamos a
frequência de cada descritor e exploramos suas associações com o reconhecimento dos saberes
ancestrais indígenas. Resultados: Verificamos que o descritor mais frequente foi "popular",
aparecendo 744 vezes. Em seguida, identificamos o descritor "indígena" com 701 ocorrências
e, por último, o descritor "tradicional", mencionado modestas 479 vezes. Observamos uma
variação na distribuição desses descritores nos artigos analisados, sugerindo diferentes
perspectivas e enfoques nas investigações sobre fitoterapia. Ao examinar a relação entre esses
descritores e o reconhecimento dos saberes ancestrais indígenas, constatamos que 11 dos 15
artigos apresentaram um reconhecimento direto desses saberes, enquanto outros 4 indicaram
um reconhecimento indireto. Os descritores "indígena" e "tradicional" foram frequentemente
associados a um reconhecimento direto, enquanto o descritor "popular" foi mais comumente
relacionado a um reconhecimento indireto. Considerações Finais: Esta pesquisa ressalta a
importância de reconhecer, valorizar e proteger os saberes ancestrais indígenas no contexto da
fitoterapia brasileira. A inclusão desses saberes nas discussões e pesquisas contribui para uma
abordagem mais abrangente, inclusiva e ética, promovendo uma melhoria significativa na
saúde das comunidades indígenas. Além disso, destaca-se a necessidade de uma legislação
adequada para salvaguardar e preservar esses conhecimentos, evitando a apropriação cultural
e garantindo os direitos das comunidades indígenas no Brasil. Cabe ressaltar a existência da
Lei nº 9.610/1998, conhecida como Lei de Direitos Autorais, que busca proteger expressões
culturais e conhecimentos tradicionais, incluindo aqueles relacionados à fitoterapia. No
entanto, há discussões em andamento sobre a necessidade de legislações mais específicas para
a proteção dos conhecimentos tradicionais indígenas e a prevenção da apropriação cultural, a
fim de assegurar o respeito aos saberes ancestrais e o reconhecimento e benefício adequados
das comunidades indígenas.
Introduction: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of 15 scientific articles with the purpose of investigating the use of the descriptors "traditional," "indigenous," and "popular" in the context of Brazilian herbal medicine. Objective: Our main objective was to understand how these descriptors are employed in each context and examine whether there is adequate recognition of indigenous ancestral knowledge in this relevant field of study. Methods: To achieve our objectives, we adopted a meticulous approach, considering each article as a valuable piece of the puzzle. Through analysis, we examined the frequency of each descriptor and explored their associations with the recognition of indigenous ancestral knowledge. Results: We found that the most frequent descriptor was "popular," appearing 744 times. Next, we identified the descriptor "indigenous" with 701 occurrences, and finally, the descriptor "traditional" mentioned modestly 479 times. We observed variation in the distribution of these descriptors among the analyzed articles, suggesting different perspectives and approaches in herbal medicine research. When examining the relationship between these descriptors and the recognition of indigenous ancestral knowledge, we found that 11 out of the 15 articles directly recognized this knowledge, while the remaining 4 indicated indirect recognition. The descriptors "indigenous" and "traditional" were frequently associated with direct recognition, while the descriptor "popular" was more commonly linked to indirect recognition. Conclusion: This comprehensive and in-depth research highlights the importance of recognizing, valuing, and protecting indigenous ancestral knowledge in the context of Brazilian herbal medicine. The inclusion of this knowledge in discussions and research contributes to a more comprehensive, inclusive, and ethical approach, promoting significant improvements in the health of indigenous communities. Furthermore, it underscores the need for adequate legislation to safeguard and preserve this knowledge, preventing cultural appropriation and ensuring the rights of indigenous communities in Brazil. It is worth noting the existence of Law No. 9,610/1998, known as the Copyright Law, which aims to protect cultural expressions and traditional knowledge, including those related to herbal medicine. However, ongoing discussions focus on the need for more specific legislation to protect indigenous traditional knowledge and prevent cultural appropriation, ensuring respect for ancestral knowledge and proper recognition and benefit for indigenous communities.
