Using plants with therapeutic properties to treat illnesses is as old as mankind’s history. As each generation found out about new species to treat new symptoms, new knowledge was passed through the population and to the next generations. And scientific advance came up with a field of research that evaluated and determined scientifically the medicinal properties of plants and their interactions with the human body. Only in Brazil, 55 thousand species were cataloged, out of a 350 to 550 thousand estimated total. But despite that, in the last decades the number of information about medicinal plants grew only 8% per year, which is below the expected for the most biodiverse country in the world [1].From these studies, public policies about the using of herbal medicine in basic health begun to be made in order to regulate the use of such plants. The formal use of the popular knowledge of herbal medicines, now scientifically attested, by the Brazilian Single Health System (SUS) was considered one of the most outstanding events of the millennium in public health [2]. An ordinance number 3.916, from October 30th of 1998, approved the National Medicaments Policy, which assures “support to research that aim the best use of the therapeutic potential of national flora and fauna, emphasizing the certification of their medicative properties” [3].
