Bicho, cura e magia! Práticas culturais e conhecimentos tradicionais na reserva extrativista Mapuá (Ilha do Marajó, Pará): uma perspectiva etnozoológica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-05-04) JACINTO, Felipe Oliveira; BARROS, Flávio Bezerra; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4706140805254262
This dissertation presents an ethnographic study about the reunion of knowledge and cultural practices of the agroextractivists from Mapua Extractivist Reservation in Marajó Island, Pará State, Brazil. The principal aim was to describe and analyze the knowledge concerning traditional medicine, focusing on the medicinal uses of faunistic local resources. Participant observation and semi-structured interviews were the main methods used. The research documented the medical uses of 59 species of animals, as well the distinct categories of medical fauna attribution, such as remedies for physical diseases, spiritual diseases, and for hunters. We also discussed the symbolic attributions of the fauna, which is demonstrated as typically Amazonian worldview that appears indistinctly between the domains of nature and culture. The results present more than list of “animals” and their respective uses in local healing, but a rich biocultural patrimony involving social life, the natural world and cosmological life governed by the same categories. The present work highlights the importance of documenting the forest folk wisdom, regarding strategies to solve health problems based on the access to animals useful to humans.

Diretrizes para a criação de um arranjo produtivo local de plantas medicinais e fitoterápicos em Marapanim-PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-04-04) PINHEIRO, Ailton Castro; VASCONCELLOS SOBRINHO, Mário; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7843288526039148; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1372405563294070
In 2006, Brazil started its national policy of medicinal plants and phytomedicines, which includes 17 guidelines to rule actions in different segments of the phytotherapy. In 2008, to implement this policy a program was organized, which links four of these guidelines to specific actions in phytotherapy, based on traditional and popular knowledge and familiar agriculture, to determine that the Ministries involved develop actions in an integrated way, in order to enable production, and marketing, by the community itself. In 2012, the Health Ministry (HS) begun financing the pharmaceutical assistance with medicinal plants and phytomedicines, being the Local Productive Arrangement (LPA) one of the available instruments. In Amazonian State Pará, from 2012 to 2017, only four municipalities applied, and have approved, such projects by the Ministry of Health. The Municipality of Marapanim (PA) has a great ethnopharmaceutical potential, with emphasis on the work of a group of women, who practice the popular phytotherapy for more than 20 years, based on the knowledge of their ancestors. They produce handcrafted remedies combining popular knowledge with technical knowledge, in partnership with the Laboratory of Ethnopharmacy of the Nucleus of Environment of the Federal University of Pará (LAEF/ NUMA/UFPA). In this context, the aim of this work is to elaborate, and propose, guidelines to build a Local Productive Arrangement in Marapanim that can allow the insertion of phytomedicines used in folk phytotherapy in the institutional market, after a technical adequation, and thereby contributing to the territorial and endogenous development of the municipality. In order to reach this objective, a bibliographic survey was carried out based on dissertations written by members of the LAEF/NUMA/UFPA, whose set compose an important diagnosis of the reality of local herbal phytotherapy. This bibliographic survey was complemented by a documentary research in the Transparency Portal of the municipality; interviews with the Marapanim healers and participation in LAEF/NUMA/UFPA actions in favor of the valorization of local phytotherapy; study about some APL experiences, financed by MS and the analysis of the technical regulation and as well of the financial suport destined to phytotherapy. The analysis of these data was performed using the theoretical framework of territorial and endogenous development, of the National Policy and National Program of Medicinal Plants and Phytomedicine, and of the traditional and popular knowledge. As a result, this work proposes eleven guidelines for building an APL involving: initial articulation for the construction of an APL project; articulation along the implementation of the APL, training; sowing of medicinal plants, production of phytomedicine; public -private partnership for marketing in the institutional market; marketing in the private market; dispensing in the SUS; planning and budget execution of fund-to-fund resource; institutionalization of a municipal phytotherapy program, and proposal of a flow chart for APL governance. The following products were also generated: a project model to obtain resource from MS for financing an APL and a new redaction of the administrative regulation of MS nº 1,555 / 2013.

In the context of the covid-19 pandemic local communities located far from capital cities suffered from a saturated health system and difficulties in getting medical care, resorting to their ancestral knowledge of nature to stay healthy and treat the symptoms of the disease. This study aimed to understand the use of traditional medicine in times of the covid-19 pandemic in the city of São Caetano de Odivelas. This is a qualitative descriptive and quantitative study in which applied ethnographic methods and instruments were used for data collection such as participant observation, oral interviews, field diary, recordings and photographic records. It was observed that the municipality suffered the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic and created strategies for its confrontation from the implementation of new services and medical protocols. Traditional medicine from traditional health practices were used by 110 (87.3%) Odivelenses residents for prevention and cure of covid-19, mainly in the form of teas, syrups and juices. Lemon (Cittrus limon) was the most frequently used medicinal plant, in the preparations of home remedies for the disease, 71.3% and the belief in faith constituted the fundamental ingredient for the success of the therapy applied in 78.6% of the people. Thus, it was shown that traditional medicine was used during the covid- 19 pandemic by the population of São Caetano de Odivelas as an important element to complement the established medical therapy, contributing to the maintenance of memory, cultural identity and increasing the sense of local belonging.
