Abstract

The Peschiera australis (Muell. Arg.) Miers is a plant from Southern Brasil that in popular use acts against snake poison because of that, we wanted to absorve the influence of Pescheria australie in edema evolution, since it is a strong sign of intoxication. We used Wistar rats divided into four groups. Pentobarbital (40 mg/kg Bady weight) was used as anestesic. The control group received carragenina the bottom of their feet and in 15 minutes intervals for hours the edema evolution wasy observed in plestesmograph. The second group received the same treatment but the used substance was Peschiera australis extract by oral route. In a third group extract was given by intraperitoneal route and in a fourth, by endovenous route. The given extract endovenous route was the only one that showed results in edema, provoking its involution, but not total disappearance.
