TAT is an abbreviation for Tapas Acupressure Technique. This is a safe, easy to use, effective technique that was created by Tapas Fleming. It has been used to work with issues such as weight loss, allergies, stress and other emotional issues. This method has proved to be so effective that the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine has given Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research (USA) a grant of $2.1 million to study the effectiveness of TAT when combined with mental imagery to help people lose and maintain weight.
