%X A utiliza  o de plantas medicinais no tratamento e cura de enfermidades ¨¦ um recurso terap¨ºutico muito antigo e talvez o ¨²nico adotado em muitas comunidades e grupos ¨¦tnicos. A fam¨ªlia Asteraceae concentra grande n¨²mero de esp¨¦cies com potencial terap¨ºutico, algumas das quais do g¨ºnero Baccharis, utilizadas na medicina popular e tamb¨¦m na produ  o de fitoter¨¢picos. Estudos relatam que a principal indica  o terap¨ºutica mencionada para estas esp¨¦cies est o relacionadas com a  es sobre o trato gastrintestinal. A partir de pesquisa bibliogr¨¢fica, foram identificadas as caracter¨ªsticas morfol¨®gicas da carqueja, bem como, as propriedades terap¨ºuticas cientificamente comprovadas, bioss¨ªntese dos principais metab¨®litos secund¨¢rios, e poss¨ªveis intera  es medicamentosas. The use of medicinal plants to treat and cure diseases is a very old therapeutic resource and perhaps the only one adopted in many communities and ethnic groups. The Asteraceae family concentrates a great number of species with therapeutic potential, some of which belong to the Baccharis genus and have been used in folk medicine and herbal medicine production. Studies have reported that the main therapeutic indication for these species is related to actions on the gastrointestinal tract. From literature searches, the morphological characteristics of broom, its scientifically proven therapeutic properties, as well as biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and possible drug interactions were identified.
