Tapping for Chemical Sensitivity
Here is a tapping script you can use to help calm your sensitivity to chemicals. There is always a mind body connection to everything and it can be very helpful to clear your fear and expectation related to getting sick from chemicals or being chemically sensitive.
I’ve also made a Tap With Me audio recording for chemical sensitivity. You can listen and tap along.
Growing Up Method
In this tapping script, I’ll be using the Growing Up Method, which goes from Dumping (venting your worst thoughts and feelings) to Dreaming (Making “what if…” statements to plant positive possibilities into your mind) and Deciding (choosing resourceful, confident thoughts).
See this short video for a tapping points refresher.
And here’s the EFT manual, if you want some more thorough instruction (you can also get a printable copy by signing up for the newsletter)
Dumping Round
Set Up
Even though I know that my body, is specially sensitive to chemicals. I deeply and completely love and accept every bit of me.
Even though I have so much evidence that my body in particular, is hurt and damaged by chemicals in the air, in the water, in the food. I love and accept myself just the way I am.
Even though most of my life I have had negative reactions to chemicals, and so I’ve gotten scared of smoke, and of chemical smells, and of perfumes. I love and accept myself just the way I am.
Tapping
Eyebrow Point: My body is very sensitive to chemicals.
Side of Eye: I have a sensitive body.
Under Eye: I have to be careful and avoid being around chemicals.
Under Nose: My body reacts really badly to chemicals.
Under Chin: I react to cleaning solutions.
Collarbone: to smoke,
Under Arm: to chemicals in the air,
Top of Head: to exhaust fumes.
Eyebrow Point: to perfumes,
Side of Eye: to pesticides,
Under Eye: to food additives,
Under Nose: to petrochemicals.
Under Chin: My body reacts to all kinds of chemicals.
Collarbone: They’re bad for me.
Under Arm: They make me sick.
Top of Head: I can’t live and be healthy in this world, so surrounded by chemicals.
Take a deep breath.
Dreaming Round
Set Up
Even though I am firmly convinced that my body is harmed by all these chemicals, and I am way more sensitive than most people, wouldn’t it be amazing if my body could be strong and process and eliminate chemicals easily?
Even though I’ve been sick and weakened so many times by chemicals, and I’m convinced that it’s just the way I am, what if my body could change?
Even though it’s hard for me to imagine that there could be another way for my sensitive constitution to be, what if I could be open to a new possibility?
Tapping
Eyebrow Point: I have a very sensitive body.
Side of Eye: I have a really sensitive constitution.
Under Eye: I’m very sensitive to chemicals.
Under Nose: That’s just the way I am.
Under Chin: That’s what I’ll always be.
Collarbone: I think I am born that way.
Under Arm: At least I’ve been that way as long as I can remember.
Top of Head: And I just can’t imagine there could be any change in that.
Eyebrow Point: But what if there could be?
Side of Eye: What if I could be stronger?
Under Eye: What if my liver could easily and safely process and eliminate any chemicals that come my way.
Under Nose: What if my lungs could easily and safely process and eliminate any chemicals that they come in contact with?
Under Chin: What if my skin could easily and safely process and eliminate any chemicals that get on it?
Collarbone: What if my whole body could just easily and safely process and eliminate any chemicals that it comes in contact with?
Under Arm: What if my sensitive body could become a resistant, resilient, healthy, strong, robust body?
Top of Head: What if I really could change and feel myself capable of living in the world of chemicals.
Take a deep breath and pay particular attention to anything that came up from you in the last couple of rounds of tapping.
If you had any strong emotional response or any big “yes, buts”, internal rebuttals about anything that we said in the tapping, go ahead and stop the audio and take a little side trip and tap on that specifically.
And if especially there are memories or events that came up for you, stop and tap on those. Because oftentimes, chemical sensitivities have their inception at a specific moment in time when a disturbing event happened in your life. Your mind-body system associated the food, the smell, the sights in the environment with trauma. That’s the way a trauma can be the beginning of a sensitivity.
If you have any memories of when you first became sensitive or a trauma that may have been associated with chemicals, that’s a really good thing to tap on.
Deciding Round
Set Up
Even though there’s still a part of me that believes that I have to be sensitive, there’s also a part of me that believes that I can become stronger and more resilient, and I’m supporting that part of me.
Even though there’s a part of me that holding on to that belief, that I’m very sensitive, I’m open to the possibility that by changing my beliefs, my body can change too.
Even though there still a part of me that doubts tapping can make any difference, I choose to go forward with positive expectation.
Tapping
Eyebrow Point: I give every cell in my body permission to easily and safely process and eliminate chemicals that come their way.
Side of Eye: I give my blood and lymph permission to easily and safely process and eliminate chemicals that come their way.
Under Eye: I so appreciate the way my lungs easily and safely process and eliminate any chemicals that I come in contact with.
Under Nose: I give my skin full permission to easily and safely process and eliminate any chemicals that come upon it.
Under Chin: I give my muscles, tendons and ligaments full permission to easily and safely process and eliminate any chemicals that come their way.
Collarbone: I give my muscles and my fat full permission to easily process and eliminate, in a healthy and safe way, any chemicals that come their way.
Under Arm: I give all my organs, my heart, my lungs, my intestines, my liver, my gallbladder, my spleen, my kidneys, my adrenals and all my glands, my brain, my eyes, my sexual organs – I give all my organs and glands full permission to easily process and eliminate in a healthy and safe way all chemicals that come their way.
Top of Head: I give my bones, my connective tissue, all my body fluids, my nervous system and every other body part full permission to easily process and eliminate in a healthy and safe way any chemicals that come their way. And I give such gratitude for these things happening inside me now.
Take a deep breath.
Tapping Round 2
Eyebrow Point: My body is strong.
Side of Eye: My body knows how to easily and safely process and eliminate chemicals.
Under Eye: My body has systems that know how to this.
Under Nose: I can trust my body.
Under Chin: I give my body full permission to be healthy and robust.
Collarbone: I choose to be healthly and robust.
Under Arm: I choose to feel safe, even in the world of chemicals.
Top of Head: I have decided that I can be safe and still live in this world that has many chemicals and many many healthy things in it too.
Take a deep breath.
It is my hope and prayer that this tapping round helps many people with small or large chemical sensitivities.

I have found this script very helpful, i realise that all of my chemical and food sensitivities originated when i went through a prolonged traumatic experience and therefore in my case manifestations of an overprotective sub-consicious/immune system. However i do find difficulty in coming up with my own scripts so if you have one based on food intolerances that would be a huge benefit to me
My allergist doctor said I have nonallergic rhinitis so I will give this a try.
I will let you know what happens in two weeks.
Hello Natalie, this is a wonderful script, do I have to use it everyday? thank yu
Tee
Tee, to reverse a strong mind body response like chemical sensitivity, it can take many days, even weeks or months to reverse.
I’d recommend doing it daily for 2-3 weeks, then take a break and notice what’s different about your responses to chemicals and your thoughts and beliefs about chemicals.
It can also be necessary to do EFT and/or Matrix Reimprinting (or something with similar deep results) on the events in your life that initially triggered the chemical sensitivity. That can be in the womb or at any point in your life (or maybe previous lives).
Physical healing and detoxing are complementary methods that many find helpful in addition to the mind body work.
Hi Natalie,
I’d love to publish this post on my website Planet Thrive, where we have a large chemically sensitive audience. Please let me know if I have your permission to republish it there. I will of course give you credit and a link back to your blog. Best, Julie
July, absolutely. With my love and blessings.

I want to thank you deeply Natalie for making this work available for those of us who live with MCS. I am feeling more positive after following your audio on the tapping for chemical sensitivity. Much Gratitude.
Hi Natalie, I want to thank you for sharing this with the MCS community! I followed the audio, yesterday, and found it very empowering. I will continue to work with this, as I continue with using the Gupta Programme, as well. I know, without doubt, now that my MCS symptoms originated in the brain, and neurons that fired/wired together. It is clear that my PTSD, and hypervigilant amygdala are the main cause of MCS, and not the chemicals, themselves. Not saying that chemicals are wonderful…..just acknowledging that I can teach my body and brain to process them in a healthy way, again. That is very exciting. I really need to get a good tapping script for food reactions, as that is my most limiting problem right now. If you know of one, would you point me in the right direction? Thanks, so much, again.
Syrena, I don’t know of a good tapping script for food reactions, but I’d be happy to work with you to create one especially for you. See how I do that kind of work with folks here.
I want to believe this. I am going to try. The cynic in me raised its head a time or two while I was tapping. “Wistful thinking”, he snarled. But…while I know this chemical sensitivity thing to be real I also wonder if I have exacerbated the situation with my belief system. If so, it follows logically that I should be able to overcome it with a belief system. I’ll be tapping.
Good for you, Pamela.
And while you’re tapping, throw in some phrases like…
wishful thinking
this can’t work
how could this tapping help my chemical sensitivity?
this chemical sensitivity is real
not just in my head
so I doubt that tapping can help
and I’m a cynic
but I’m trying it anyway
I”m allowing myself to try tapping on it anyway
excellent! thanks so much for addressing this condition. I will be posting about this on my blog!
