We analyzed the Fulni-ô medical system and introduced its intermedical character based on secondary data published in the literature. Then we focused on the medicinal plants known to the ethnic group, describing the most important species, their therapeutic uses and the body systems attributed to them. We based this analysis on the field experience of the authors in the project Studies for the Environmental and Cultural Sustainability of the Fulni-ô Medical System: Office of Medicinal Plant Care. This traditional botanical knowledge was used to corroborate the hybrid nature of local practices for access to health. We show that intermedicality is a result not only of the meeting of the Fulni-ô medical system with Biomedicine but also of its meeting with other traditional systems. Finally, we discuss how traditional botanical knowledge may be directly related to the ethnogenesis process led by the Fulni-ô Indians in northeastern Brazil.
我们分析了富尔奈斯语医学体系，并根据文献中发表的二手数据介绍了其跨医学的特点。然后，我们专注于该民族所了解的药用植物，描述了最重要的物种、它们的治疗用途以及归因于它们的身体系统。我们的分析基于作者在项目“富尔奈斯语医学体系的环境和文化可持续性研究：药用植物护理办公室”中的实地经验。这种传统的植物学知识被用来证实当地获得健康的混合实践的混合性质。我们表明，跨医学不仅是富尔奈斯语医学体系与生物医学相遇的结果，也是其与其他传统体系相遇的结果。最后，我们讨论了传统植物学知识如何可能与巴西东北部富尔奈斯语印第安人领导的民族发生过程直接相关。
