Revisão bibliográfica para a implantação de um ambulatório de práticas integrativas, complementares e naturais em um município do Vale Taquari no Rio Grande do Sul.

Abstract

The results point to a growing search for these therapies, not out of necessity, after all, we have the most modern and advanced in Medicine, both in the SUS and in the private system, but by the desire to become the protagonist of their health with the support of specialized professionals. The PICs promote a new culture of care, strengthening the therapist and patient bond, the empowerment of the individual and his role in the healing process, possessing great demedicalizing potential. These practices do not compete with conventional treatments, they only complement and enable an integrative look at health. What moves the people involved in the project is, first of all, the impulse to actively participate in a process capable of showing that other ways of learning, practicing and taking care of health, one another and others are possible.
