Resumo: The Naturopathic knowledge is characterized by a mix of medical fields, eastern, and western healing techniques and philosophies, modern and traditional. It is a phenomenon resulting from the crisis of paradigms of the contemporary world and the need for revision and extension of existing models of medical practice. It presents itself as a transdisciplinary knowledge affiliated with integrative and complementary models of work and health care. This thesis analyzes the structuring process of Brazilian Naturopathic provided transdisciplinary knowledge and practice. It seeks to understand if the Naturopathic favors the reconnection of knowledge and rationality that entails, and if it can be seen as a new approach in healthcare. Theoretical and methodological terms, this thesis is guided by the basis and foundation of the complex thought. The Brazilian academic production of Naturopathic Medicine verifies if and how the incorporation of theoretical and epistemological principles has been processed what allows characterizing it as a concurrently complex, multidisciplinary and comprehensive knowledge. The research analyzes, qualitatively, seventy-one course conclusion works from the only two higher education institutions in Brazil that offer bachelor degree in Naturopathic. The analysis of empirical data confirmed the hypothesis that the Naturopathic knowing and doing are linked to principles and critical paradigms of knowledge and revealed, however, the difficulty that the unorthodox knowledge faces to be accepted and incorporated in the academic field
