Abstract:

The study sought to understand the effects produced by the use of Integrative and Complementary Practices in the care of people with obesity treated at a state referral center of the Brazilian Unified Health System,the users\' narrative. The qualitative exploratory-descriptive methodology was used, using semi-structured interviews as a technique for data production. The empirical universe was composed of eight people, male and female, in the adult age group, with a medical diagnosis of obesity and being followed at the PICS Outpatient Clinic. Feeling well was observed as a remarkable and defining feeling for the continuity of the experience in the PICS, resultingthe therapy, materialized in the different effects produced by the practices and articulating a reorganization of the subject\'s life, of the care of oneself and of the other. It was possible to observe that the organic presence of the PICS assumes a hybrid and dynamic place in the flow of care, although a perspective has emerged that links the PICS to obesity through the control of anxiety, the body, and food.
