Remédios Florais de Bach como uma prática integrativa e complementar na promoção da saúde mental: uma revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

Mental health represents a major public health challenge, encouraging the search for therapeutic approaches that promote comprehensive care. In this context, Bach Flower Remedies, included among Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (ICHP), have been used as a complementary resource for managing emotional disturbances. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of Bach Flower Remedies to mental health promotion and emotional well-being through an integrative literature review. Searches were conducted in the SciELO and Google Scholar databases, considering publications from 2015 to 2025 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. After applying the eligibility criteria, 13 studies were included in the analysis. The findings mainly demonstrated a reduction in anxiety levels, as well as improvements in well-being, self-awareness, quality of life, and decreases in stress and emotional tension. Although the results are promising, the methodological heterogeneity and the limited number of clinical studies highlight the need for more robust research. It is concluded that Bach Flower Remedies have potential as an integrative and complementary practice for promoting mental health. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
