Percepção dos usuários dos florais sobre o sistema florsol.

Abstract

Florals are therapeutic products produced through the energetic potential of flowers, recognized as part of Integrative and Complementary Practices. Many floral systems have been developed around the world, among which is the FLORSOL system, used in the health-disease-care process for the population of Nova Palmeira-PB and its surrounding region. The aim of this study is to investigate the perception of floral users regarding the FLORSOL system and to identify the effects of this integrative practice on users' lives. This was a cross-sectional, qualitative-quantitative, descriptive study, with a sample consisting of floral users in Nova Palmeira-PB and the surrounding region. The results showed that the majority of users reported significant improvement in their complaints after regular use of the FLORSOL system. Among the main benefits reported were a reduction in anxiety symptoms, as well as an increase in emotional well-being. The qualitative analysis of the interviews reinforced the participants' positive perception of the efficacy of floral treatment, revealing that for many, floral therapy served as an effective complement to conventional treatment or, in some cases, as the primary self-care strategy. Therefore, the FLORSOL system stood out as an effective practice in promoting health and quality of life, reinforcing its role as a promising complementary approach within the scope of Integrative and Complementary Practices (ICPs).
