This work discusses the contribution of adopting more objective criteria and greater credibility in the selection and analysis of information sources, which would result in greater scientific rigour in this process. In this sense, the adoption of a previously tested methodology that is known to be efficient, such as Systematic Review (SR), is proposed as a basic methodology for systematic analysis of phytoterapeutics. The discussion on results shows the positive contribution of incorporating the RS methodology in the analysis of herbal medicines.
