RESUMO
As medicinas complementares são um conjunto de práticas que não pertencem ao escopo da medicina convencional, que tem por finalidade ampliar o cuidado integral do ser humano. Esta pesquisa traz um estudo qualitativo que analisa a utilização de práticas complementares por um grupo de idosos vinculados a um plano de saúde, nas cidades do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Todos os entrevistados procuraram as práticas complementares sem, contudo, abandonar o serviço biomédico, constituindo assim, um rico itinerário terapêutico.
