In recent decades, the incidence of anxiety disorders has been growing exponentially in the general adult population. Anxiety starts to be considered as a disorder, when the frequency of anxiety becomes disproportionate to the stimuli that trigger them, generating damage and causing psychological distress to the individual. Notice a growth in the use of Integrative and Complementary Practices in Health (PICS) in clinical practice, where they have been shown to be beneficial to patients, being able to help reduce the consumption of psychotropic drugs such as benzodiazepines and other drugs in the control of anxiety symptoms, enabling an integrative treatment for patients. In this sense, we searched the scientific literature for materials that address anxiety disorders and complementary practices for the management of their somatic and psychological symptoms, which demonstrate the practical application of treatment protocols such as acupuncture, yoga, meditation, relaxation, deep breathing, mindfulness and aromatherapy. These strategies help in the treatment and their cognitive-behavioral interventions contribute to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy protocols, enabling the patient to have greater control of their thoughts and behaviors in stressful situations, enabling positive impacts on the health of users in the psychological, physical and emotional dimensions.
