A study published in the journal EXPLORE found that a simple finger-tapping technique, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping, can reduce anxiety by 67% in just 10 minutes. Tapping involves using your fingertips to tap specific acupressure points on the body, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and promoting relaxation. Research has shown that tapping can lower cortisol levels, reduce anxiety, depression, and food cravings, and even alleviate symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). One success story highlights how tapping helped a woman overcome debilitating anxiety and insomnia, leading her to become a certified practitioner in EFT tapping.
