Abstract

This study investigates how riverside women from Ilha Téntem, in Cametá (PA), exercise their knowledge related to medicinal plants and build their identity through their cultural and ancestral experiences. Methodologically, in addition to the bibliographic research on traditional knowledge, medicinal plants and herbs, women and education, with emphasis on Freire (1987), Pinto (2004, 2010), Brandão (2017) and Pinto (2018), a qualitative research was undertaken with semi-structured interviews and free conversations with three riverside women. The collection of oral narratives evidenced the appreciation of cultural healing practices, demonstrating their autonomy in the daily use of home remedies to treat diseases in their community.
