In 2006 the Brazilian Ministry of Health established the National Policy of Medicinal Plants and Herbal Medicines.This public policy was part of a wide set of emerging measures that, especially after 2000s, began to diversify the therapeutic modalities available in the Brazilian public health system (SUS -Sistema Único de Saúde).Different and cosmopolite references started to be mobilized in order to recognize and incorporate them.In this thesis, I explore how the concept of tradition/traditionality has been employed as an element of identity and legitimacy for the officialization of medicinal plants and herbal medicines in Brazil, as well as for turning sociobiodiversity into a patrimony in the national pharmaceutical compendium.My research is based on an ethnographic research fieldwork carried out between 2019 and 2021.By observing and participating in health councils, government offices, pharmacies, pharmaceutical labs, medicinal plant gardens, and community health centers, I will explore how the concept of tradition/traditionality is tackled at different levels of the public organization.Besides the fieldwork experience, I interviewed farmers, social movement leaders, and activists who have taken part in the Brazilian public health system since its creation in the 1990s.These participants also contributed to the reconstruction of the pharmaceutical assistance in the beginning of the 2000s, until the officialization of plant medicines by the Ministry of Health in 2006.By exploring how the concept of tradition/traditionality has been used to legitimize medicinal plants and herbal medicines, I discuss how it is also connected to the attempts made by self-proclaimed traditional peoples and communities to belong, be recognized, and participate in public power.This thesis does not merely follow up on the mobilization, institution and social impact of the concept of tradition/traditionality, nor it is a study of public health policies or sanitary legislations.Instead, I am interested in how different subjects and cosmologies participateor notin the actions and understandings of the Brazilian State
