Abstract

The growing specializing that is establishing in health is the result of a cartesian and materialistic cosmology, no place for the patient, only for the disease. From this crisis emerges Naturology, health care profession that seeks the integral care for humans. The Naturology inserts his contribution reviewing the conceptual bases, inserting elements, such as the rescue of traditional techniques, and the construction of a thought that makes possible a differentiated operation in health. This article aims to explore concepts related to emerging transdisciplinary paradigm and dialogue between the medical rationalities, especially in the context of Naturology, and his role working within a multidisciplinary team of health.
