The publication aims to value, document, and disseminate traditional knowledge about medicinal plants developed and shared by rural women in the Recôncavo Identity Territory, Bahia, highlighting its connections with ancestry, agroecology, sociobiodiversity, and traditional healthcare practices. The research involved 26 women from four rural communities located in the municipalities of Santo Amaro and Santo Antônio de Jesus, emphasizing women's leading role in biodiversity conservation, medicinal plant cultivation, and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge. The book presents information on the plant species identified, their traditional therapeutic uses, preparation methods, and everyday applications. It also discusses the importance of home gardens as spaces for food production, healthcare, autonomy, and cultural preservation. The publication also brings together experiences from participatory workshops involving the production of natural soaps, herbal foot baths, and tinctures, fostering dialogue between traditional and scientific knowledge. Written in accessible language and enriched with photographic records, the book serves as a means of sharing research findings with the participating communities, contributing to the recognition of rural women, the strengthening of territorial identities, and the preservation of the biocultural heritage of the Recôncavo region of Bahia.
