Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is based on the discovery that the cause of all negative emotions can be attributed to a disruption in the body's energy system.  A person relieves symptoms by tapping on various energy meridian points. This tapping balances the energy meridians that become disrupted when you experience or are thinking about an emotionally disturbing circumstance or thought. Once the energy is balanced the upset is resolved or lessened. You still have the memory but the emotional charge and "hook" is gone. After the issue is resolved you feel better and more detached about the issue and have much more clarity. EFT results are usually lasting. In some cases you will need to persist and work on a specific item for awhile, but many times an issue is taken care of in one session.

EFT is a safe, gentle and natural technique using your own body's energy system. It is easy to learn, relaxing, releases stuck emotions and helps your whole outlook to lighten up over time. With EFT change becomes easier and is much more comfortable. You do not need to "believe" in it for it to work, just be willing to try it. Your results will not depend on your belief. It is the physical process of working with the energy system that produces the results.

EFT works well in alleviating a large number of physical issues, including headaches, physical pain, skin conditions, asthama, nervous stomach and most stress-associated conditions in general.  EFT often helps conditions where one would not expect it to, particularly where alopathic medicine doesn't seem to help much.  This includes things like chronic fatigue.  Gary Craig recommends that you "try it on everything".  You should also have this physical condition checked out by your doctor and continue with recommended treatment.  EFT should be used as a complementary treatment.

Physical conditions tend to have both a psychological and emotional component.  This may be a cause or it may be because of the physical problem.  For example if you break your leg, you have emotions about it.  Usually anger, that it happened, unhappiness because you are inconvenienced, sadness or frustration that you are limited in what you can do etc.  These are the things that EFT is wonderful at treating and it may produce positive changes in the physical problem.
