Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are based on the same principles as acupuncture, although involve tapping on selected points rather than using needles (acupressure). EFT is sometimes referred to as "emotional acupuncture". EFT is an amazing technique which has been used to successfully remove/reduce negative feelings/emotions such as trauma, stress, depression, cravings/addictions, fears, phobias, anger/rage, pain, etc. which may be a major problem in themselves or may contribute to, or exacerbate, some other problem (e.g. Depression). Once learnt, EFT can be self-applied. There is a growing body of evidence that stress and other negative emotions contributes to a wide variety of health problems. Consistent with the alternative medicine belief that all illnesses are multifactorial, emotional issues (e.g. chronic stress) should be addressed in all people with chronic health problems. EFT complements nutritional/environmental therapies perfectly and is highly recommended by nutritional medicine figure Dr. Joseph Mercola.
