Abstract

Integrative and Complementary Practices in Health (PICS) are therapeutic practices recognized by the World Health Organization and encompass several bodily and behavioral practices, one of which is acupuncture. This research aimed to reflect an innovative experience that articulated acupuncture practice with health promotion in a Family Health Unit. A descriptive and analytical study of a qualitative nature was carried out, which used conversation circles and field diary records as strategies for data production. This study enabled an expansion in the reception of the users' demands, with a closer bond between the health team and the community, contributing to the demedicalization of care. We noticed the expansion of the clinic's offer, the increase in knowledge of PICS, encouraging demedicalization, self-care, participation in group activities, exchange of knowledge and insertion of strategies capable of collaborating with the process of reconstructing ways of living the life of people who seek health care.
