Abstract

Health as a fundamental right of all, an ethically correct consideration, which is reaffirmed in the statements of Alma-Ata and Astana, conceptualizing health as a state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not only the absence of disease, it estimates care primary health care fundamental for this purpose, for which a bibliographic review and critical analysis was carried out on the benefits of mind-body medicine techniques, as a self-sustaining proposal that promotes health and prevents disease, giving rise to a space for the development of spiritual life.
