  • A simple on the go therapy could help ease anxiety, stress and reduce the impact of traumatic memories - according to recent scientific research.
    It’s called emotional freedom technique, or EFT for short, and involves using your own fingers to tap pressure points in your body.
    In our new series: Health Decoded, science journalist Melissa Hogenboom explores how tapping pressure points in your body could ease anxiety and reduce stress.

    It would be great if you could always include links to reliable sources so we viewers can follow up on our own.

    EFT helped me a lot in my healing journey. I can only recommend it to reframe and get over negativity, especially fear and chronic sadness/depression.

    I have very prevalent IBS that is directly linked to my anxiety, I have always found showers are a very helpful tool to help me relax and process emotions. I particularly find relief by allowing water to directly hit my abdomen where I feel the most physical stress.

    Without any supporting links to evidence based research, this sounds like quackery. The BBC should not present this as a health topic without facts.

    Can this technique be used with other "tapping" methods..?
    Could the finger "tapping" be replaced by sound waves frequencies, or electromagnetic waves frequencies..?

    I'm pretty skeptical about these types of claims. But I'm willing to look into them as pure breathing techniques don't really reduce the anxiety for me.
    One of the ways it seems to work though is to take your mind of the thing that's causing you anxiety.

    This is a good example word salad on the theory and explanation front.
    Does this technique work?
    Yes, if the patient believes in the method, has the goal of uing it as a form of healing, and if the practitioner has an allegiance to the method.

    I have a feeling there’s a good wack-a-doo story that goes along with this how it all started. Just like chiropractor and hypnotism origins. You should definitely have concerns about anything that says “could do this..” can possibly do that”, “might do something..etc” What a bunch of hooey… you really need to be ashamed BBC not listing sources or any kind of scientific evidence on this crap. This is taxpayers money. Who gave the OK to produce this?

    If I was tapping Melissa, I would have a lot less stress. Unfortunately, it was click bait and has nothing to do with the good kind of tapping.
