Abstract
In daily nursing practice, there is a growing search for safe and effective strategies for weight loss, this being a recurring theme in the demands for health care and education. Among the alternatives studied, the plantago ovata, known as Psyllium, stands out, whose properties promote satiety and regulation of intestinal transit. With technological advances, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), it becomes possible to analyze large volumes of data with greater precision, expanding the understanding of the therapeutic effects of medicinal plants. AI, as an emerging tool in health, allows nurses to integrate clinical knowledge with cutting-edge technologies, using systems capable of simulating human cognitive processes, such as learning and decision-making, an application that is directly reflected in care practice, whether in the personalization of care, diagnostic support or the analysis of clinical data to optimize results. In this promising scenario, the implementation of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (PICS) in nursing training remains incipient, reflecting a lack of robust scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness in the academic and care context.
