Abstract

Phytotherapy is a discipline which rigorously studies the treatment of diseases through the use of medicinal plants or their by-products. Based on this discipline and considering the importance of treating wounds and ulcers, the purpose of our propaedeutic study is to contribute to the development of competencies in the management of medicinal plants in the healthcare’s field. Therefore, our aims are the following ones: (1) to select the most important vulnerary species from a propaedeutic and transdisciplinary vision; (2) to provide a practical comparative overview of the selected species; (3) to consider and value the cultural importance of plants which still are recollected in the country; (4) to select a traditional plant in order to be used by healthcare personnel and (5) describe its scientific evidence, pharmacological action, use and instructions for use. After a comprehensive search in the main databases and academic search engines with information of portals and guides of recognized prestige, the selected species are presented in two blocks. The former is a synthesis of the interesting commercial plants according to the purpose and aims described: the Balsam of Peru, the Shepherd’s purse, the Calendula or Pot-Marigold, the Oak, the Sweetbriar rose and the Dragon´s blood according to their pharmacological action. In the second block a descriptive analysis of the St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is carried out due to its cultural importance as a wound healing plant in the rural communities of a big part of Spain.
