Resumo
O Candomblé, religião afro-brasileira pautada no culto a divindades associadas a fenômenos e elementos da natureza, os Orixás, apresenta diversas crenças e práticas relacionadas ao uso medicinal e ritualístico de plantas, com forte simbolismo a elas intrínseco. Devido a importância da preservação cultural desta, que é uma religião que sofre diversas estigmatizações, bem como do seu papel quanto ao mantenimento e conservação de saberes ligados à natureza, a qual configura eixo central na cosmovisão candomblecista, o presente trabalho objetivou a realização de revisão bibliográfica de autores clássicos e atuais em Ecologia Humana, Etnobotânica e Antropologia Social, cujas pesquisas envolvem o Candomblé e as plantas de importância litúrgica.
