The use of medicinal plants as a form of treatment has been extensively used by the brazilian population, and most of them based on empirical use. Many diseases have been treated by the popular use of medicinal plants, mainly those of the respiratory system. The purpose of this study was to verify if there is scientific evidence for the popular use of species of Rutaceae: Citrus aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle, Citrus aurantium L., Citrus limonum Risso, Citrus medica L., Citrus sinensis Osbeck and Ruta graveolens L. at the southeastern region, for respiratory problems. Articles about pharmacological study involving respiratory diseases have been considered, as well as those concerned to anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial actions of the species. The review has showed that the presence of flavonoids, terpene hydrocarbons and monoterpenes in extracts and essential oils of those plants cause an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators iNOS and COX-2 and antibacterial activity, analyzed through diffusion in disk method. The study has shown that despite intense use by the population of southeastern Brazil of medicinal plants for respiratory diseases treatment, there are still few scientific studies confirming their pharmacological actions, thereby justifying the need for large clinical trials for treatment done with the use of the species studied.
