- Abstract
The traditional use of native species for therapeutic purposes has direct and immediate benefits for different local populations, whether for health care or the possibility of production and income generation. However, they can collaborate with the degradation of ecosystems, through extractivism and overexploitation, which have collaborated with the advancement of ecological imbalance. Thus, the objective of this study was to use Maytenus ilicifolia to exemplify what happens in relation to the exploration and use of medicinal plants in Brazil. The study was conducted based on the scientific literature, and the search was carried out on the Scielo, Research-Gate, Scoppus, Web-of-Science and Google Scholar platforms. The words espinheira-santa and Maytenus ilicifolia were used in the searches. Articles that addressed the following aspects were selected: botany, ecology, ethnobotany, phytochemistry, phytotechnics and adulterations. As a result, we verified many publications on phytochemistry, that the species suffers from extractivism and forgery, and that management in agroecosystems is still incipient. We conclude that public policy incentives are needed for research, production and dissemination of the species. Its insertion in production chains configures its conservation on farm, enabling an effective step towards conservation and preservation of the species.
