Resumen:
Through different ways, human beings developed the ability to survive the environment
and one of them was learning from their ancestors about the use of natural sources to cure
their diseases. Anacardium occidentale is a plant of the genus Anacardeaceae, with great
density in Brazil and known for its great biological power. This plant also has excellent
antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor properties. From this, it was
necessary to systematically quantify the studies on the subject in the Web of Science,
Pubmed and Scielo databases in the last 10 years against pre-established criteria,
presenting as a result numerous studies that prove the effectiveness of the health benefits
promoted by plant species.
