Summary

This study looked at whether therapeutic touch (a no-contact energy balancing technique) or acupressure (applying pressure to specific points) could reduce mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms in postmenopausal women. 156 women aged 45-65 took part, receiving eight sessions over four weeks. The goal was to see if these gentle, drug-free approaches could improve mood and emotional well-being.
