Herbarium: desenvolvimento de um catálogo digital de plantas medicinais

Abstract

The knowledge of medicinal plants, passed down through generations, still suffers from a lack of information regarding their use and preparation. To fill this gap, especially for vulnerable populations, a responsive digital catalog is proposed. It adapts to cell phones, tablets, and computers, making information more accessible. This catalog details the use, medicinal parts, preparation, and contraindications of various plants. The information is presented in both scientific and popular language, serving as both an academic reference and a practical guide for the general public. The initiative aims to promote the safe and effective use of medicinal plants, uniting traditional wisdom and scientific rigor in an accessible digital tool.
