Stress Management Techniques: Evidence-based procedures that reduce stress and promote health

ReviewPreliminaryβœ“ Source-checkedπŸ“ Greece
In plain English. This review rounds up the stress-reduction techniques with real evidence behind them, and EFT tapping is named alongside long-established methods like progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The authors conclude all of these are easy to learn and produce good results whether someone is generally healthy or managing a diagnosed condition. Because EFT is just one of several techniques covered briefly here rather than the focus of the paper, this is more of a landscape summary than a deep dive into tapping specifically.

What they found

A literature review across MEDLINE, Scopus, and Science Direct identified EFT alongside progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback, guided imagery, and CBT as evidence-based stress-reduction techniques with good results in both healthy people and people with disease.
