Abstract

The interest in phytotherapy as a therapeutic option occupies more and more space in the health area. For implementation of projects related to the theme in the cities, knowledge about its application by health professionals is fundamental. With the objective of analyzing the utilization and intention on the use of plant drugs or phytotherapics as a prescription in the clinical practice of professionals in the Basic Health Units and Family Health Units in Foz do Iguaçu-PR, the present research was done. After analysis, the interviews results showed that 99% of the professionals believe that phytoteraphics and plant drugs have therapeutic action, and 49% prescribe them in their clinical practice. On those who do not prescribe, 79% have an interest in prescribing, and everyone who uses them has already achieved results. Among the main reasons for non-prescription, it was highlighted the lack of technical knowledge. Most health professionals use phytotherapy or have an interest in prescribing it. The users have a good acceptance regarding the use of medicinal plants, and the professional training is a necessity for prescription and better orientation to the patients about the proper use of herbal medicine, guaranteeing more effectiveness and safety in this practice.
