The objective of this study was to identify the origin of the knowledge and practices regarding the therapeutic use of medicinal plants, by individuals living in a community in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This is a qualitative study, in which the data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The participants were selected through their own relationship network. A thematic analysis of the data was performed. It was found that the participants learn how to use and manage medicinal plants in their family context; it is highlighted that women have a strong influence on the transmission of this particular knowledge; they usually obtain the plants at their own homes; and most plants that are used also have their indication supported by scientific evidence.
