Therapeutic Touch + Clomipramine
Clomipramine brand names: Anafranil, Anafranil SR.
We found no known interaction between Therapeutic Touch and Clomipramine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Therapeutic Touch and Clomipramine
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Clomipramine and Therapeutic Touch in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Therapeutic Touch alongside specific medications may be limited.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Therapeutic Touch at all — not against Clomipramine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
Therapeutic Touch is a treatment rather than something you take. Tell whoever provides it which medicines you use, and ask your prescriber whether it is appropriate for your health and treatment. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clomipramine page
“A tricyclic antidepressant used mostly for OCD, clomipramine (Anafranil) is unforgiving of shifts in its blood level, which is why its 236 supplement interactions deserve genuine wariness. Most of the list involves metabolism: herbs that speed up or slow down the liver enzymes handling clomipramine can drag its level too low or push it…”

About Therapeutic Touch
What is Therapeutic Touch?
- Relaxation and stress relief
- Pain reduction
- Anxiety
- Wound healing support
- General sense of well-being
Therapeutic Touch is a complementary energy-healing practice in which a trained practitioner moves their hands over or lightly on the body to try to balance a person's 'energy field.' It is not a herb or supplement and is not swallowed. It appears physically safe, but high-quality evidence that it treats disease, relieves pain, or speeds healing is weak and inconsistent, so it should not replace proven medical care.
Not applicable (a hands-on or near-body energy practice, not a plant or supplement) · Sessions delivered by a trained practitioner; not a pill, tea, or oil
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Therapeutic Touch is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Therapeutic Touch record says about it on its own.
Therapeutic Touch: dosing
There is no standardized dose because Therapeutic Touch is a hands-on practice, not a supplement. Sessions are typically delivered by a trained practitioner and may last roughly 15 to 30 minutes, with frequency varying by person and setting.If you wish to try it, look for a qualified, experienced practitioner, and discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist so it complements—rather than replaces—your medical care.

Clomipramine Is Linked to Lower Levels of 3 Nutrients
Natural Medicines records Clomipramine as a medicine that can lower these. This is not an interaction with Therapeutic Touch — it is a separate effect of the medicine, and it is a reason some people are advised to supplement rather than to avoid one:
