RESEARCH on EFT Tapping

The growing body of evidence since the 1970s has demonstrates significant positive outcomes from EFT tapping in a wide range of areas including anxiety, worry, depression, PTSD, weight loss, trauma, phobias.

More recent studies show that EFT-tapping also improves health in areas such as fibromyalgia, psoriasis, tension headaches, frozen shoulder, pulmonary injuries, chronic pain, chemotherapy side effects, traumatic brain injury, insomnia, and seizure disorders.

Participants experienced significant decreases in anxiety, depression, PTSD, pain, and cravings, and a significant increase in happiness.

Significant Improvement in Fibromyalgia

Upon completion of the 8-week program, statistically significant
improvements were observed for variables such as pain, anxiety, depression, vitality, social function, mental health, performance problems involving work or other activities due to physical as well as emotional reasons, and stress symptoms. In addition, pain catastrophizing measures, such as rumination, magnification, and helplessness, were significantly reduced.
