Abstract(s)
Os descobrimentos e expansão ultramarinos, ao longo dos séculos XVI e XVII, proporcionaram uma revolução na farmacopeia europeia. Novas drogas e plantas foram sendo introduzidas na Europa para combater doenças europeias e ultramarinas. A primeira globalização do mundo traduziu-se numa troca intercontinental de doenças e remédios, a tal ponto que os especialistas denominam essa época de um tempo de “universalização patológica do mundo”.
Com efeito, os maiores estudiosos das drogas orientais e ocidentais foram portugueses como Garcia de Orta ou Cristóvão da Costa, entre muitos outros, que difundiram no Ocidente Europeu as drogas ocidentais e orientais . Anos antes das descobertas um famoso grego chamado Dioscórides faz uma descrição detalhada de mais de 600 plantas, animais e minerais utilizados no tratamento de multiplas doenças. Ao longo deste trabalho faremos uma revisão muito interessante das plantas e remedios que foron utilizados desde Dioscórides até Garcia de Orta.
Overseas discoveries and expansion throughout the 16th and 17th centuries provided a revolution in the European pharmacopoeia. New drugs and plants were introduced into Europe to combat European and overseas diseases. The first globalisation of the world translated into an intercontinental exchange of diseases and remedies, to such an extent that experts call this era a time of "pathological universalisation of the world". In fact, the greatest scholars of oriental and western drugs were Portuguese such as Garcia de Orta or Cristóvão da Costa, among many others, who spread western and oriental drugs in Western Europe. Years before the discoveries, a famous Greek named Dioscórides gave a detailed description of over 600 plants, animals and minerals used in the treatment of various diseases. Throughout this work we will make a very interesting review of plants and remedies that were used from Dioscórides to Garcia de Orta.
