Abstract
A list of fifty-two plant species used for medicinal purposes or to control arthropods by peasants near Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (Brazil) has been compiled. Preparation procedures are also noted. The use of plants for controlling insects and to heal a condition known as "ferida brava" is discussed. The role of indigenous plant remedies within the local health care system is worthy of a closer investigation.Mesh：
