- Abstract
There is a demand for a diversity of therapeutic systems and models that are shown to be subordinate to the hegemonic medical model, as the guiding axis of efficacy and safety. In most international discourses and research, a dispute arises between two systems: the biomedical or conventional and the so-called non-conventional medicines. This article aims to discuss the terms related to the so-called non-conventional medicines and the implications of establishing biomedical practices as a validation mechanism in the articulation of non-conventional medicines in the health system. For this purpose, the study is based on documentary sources. Metasearch engines and generic search engines such as Google Scholar were consulted for the exploration of original and review articles prepared in the period 2002 and 2020 in Spanish, English and Portuguese. In the first place, the incorporation of non-conventional medicines in the discourses of the WHO and PAHO as relevant actors that align national policies on non-conventional medicines is described; secondly, a discussion is presented on the main differences in the use of terms related to nonconventional medicines: alternative, complementary, and integrative and, finally, the implications of establishing the methodological criteria of biomedicine as a validation element are exposed. of non-conventional medicines.
