This study has the general objective: to analyze the Brazilian research in Integrative Practices and Health Complementary in PHC described in scientific literature, in the period 2006-2014; as specific objectives: to know how ICP have been used in the health care of users of the PHC; discuss the limits and potential of Integrative Practice and Health Complementary in the Unified Health System from the studied literature.
