Measuring the Effect of Clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Treatment for Depression Using a Seed Bioassay: A Randomized Controlled Trial

    TLDR Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) treatment improved seed germination and growth, suggesting mood affects seed viability.
    This study explored the effects of Clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) on depression using a seed bioassay. A 42-year-old woman with moderate depression underwent a 2-hour EFT session, which significantly reduced her BDI score. Seeds exposed to her biofield post-EFT showed higher germination rates and more robust root hair growth compared to pre-EFT and control seeds. The post-EFT group had a 95% germination rate, significantly higher than the 75% pre-EFT rate (p = .042). These findings suggest EFT may positively influence biofield energy and biological processes, though the study's small sample size and single-client focus necessitate further research.
