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.
This immediately made me think of Stewart Pearson doing this on an episode of The Thick of It. Very in character. 😂
Epigenetic not Epigentic!
Numerous sources?? Please include the sources in your description.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
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.
The background music is really painfull
I literally started smacking my head when I read the title 👍
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Without any supporting links to evidence based research, this sounds like quackery. The BBC should not present this as a health topic without facts.
The video starts with sounds like psuedoscience and it is 😂
It’s hard to open a door that is locked.
@@GlennMarshallnz Maybe the 'door' in question is locked for a good reason...
Can this technique be used with other "tapping" methods..?
Could the finger "tapping" be replaced by sound waves frequencies, or electromagnetic waves frequencies..?
All this is pretty much useless without citations. It's lazy to really on "researchers say..." type of comments with referencing ask actual study
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.
Talk about walking right on the razor's edge....
Doesnt hurt to try, im gonna look read silly doing it tho
I'm pretty lazy. Is there a machine to do that?
Maybe some kind of placebo effect?
Acupuncture? Well-established? You've lost me
Where have you been for the past 40 years? It is well-established. Easy to google and find out more for yourself.
@@s.terris9537 Acupuncture is well-established. It's well-established bullshit.
@@s.terris9537I've been following acupuncture studies over the years. It's still iffy as hell
@@s.terris9537has been debunked about as many times as homeopathy. Just because many people use it or a healthcare provider offers it doesn't mean it works above placebo.
There is a ton of research on acupuncture. Check out Harvard. Just one of many examples. If there wasn't science a lot of US health insurance would cover it.
April 1st?
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.

Well since this technique is a combination of EBF and acupuncture, then you shouldnt be asking this question.
Acupuncture should know..
Is this AI video??
Kinda sounds like what Matthew McConaughey's character was practicing in The Wolf of Wall Street. Of course, he also had cocaine and martinis as supplements.
I remember Prince Harry mentioning this about CBT.
Edit: Oop there she iust mentioned it.
Acupuncture is BS, so yeah, lost me too.
If you say so, helps millions of people though and IT WORKS
Might work for autistic people, eg, maybe it's just stimming.
FFS: there is no mental health. It’s just physical health. That’s why touch helps
❤
They lied on their last post. I don't think I'm putting my mental health in these evil people's hands.
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?
This looks a lot like stimming to me.
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.
The BBC, please concentrate on fulfilling your charter and being impartial in all news ....this clearly woo....your funding will be up for review soon !!....The BBC has been a woke organisation for too long and should not meddle in politics.
woke organisation?? The DG is a Tory.
