- This study reviews Cochrane systematic reviews on ten integrative health practices recently added to Brazil's public healthcare system, focusing on their effects and evidence.
- The review identified a total of 16 systematic reviews, mostly examining apitherapy, aromatherapy, and hypnotherapy, with no evidence found for several other practices.
- The findings suggest that only apitherapy has some high-quality evidence supporting its use for specific conditions, while the other nine practices lack sufficient evidence to justify their inclusion in the public healthcare system.
