Abstract

This work has as its theme: "Medicinal Plants for Women's Health in the Dona Juscelina Quilombola Community (2020-2022)". This work presents theoretical and methodological aspects for carrying out the research for a master's thesis of the Interdisciplinary Program in the Study of Culture and Territory of the Federal University of Northern Tocantins (UFNT), University Campus of Araguaína. From the methodologies of Participant Research and Oral History, we seek to produce data and oral reports in the community in question, which will make it possible to understand the practices and knowledge related to the cultivation of medicinal plants used in women's health, among others in the Dona Juscelina quilombo, located in Muricilândia, north of Tocantins. In an interdisciplinary approach, guided by the perspective of Olga Pombo (2005), we intend with studies on traditional cultures in the quilombo to understand the relationship between medicinal plants used as therapies and cure for women's diseases and, for this reason, we also appropriate this Ethnobotany research, which proposes to analyze popular knowledge about plants originating from traditional populations. In this sense, the study in this field is related to the performance and conservation of knowledge and experiences in the area of traditional knowledge.
