to students seeking new ways to cope with academic and peer pressures, non-conventional or alternate therapies such as chakra balancing, crystal healing, energy mapping and healing, pranic healing, Ho'oponopono, reiki and pendulum dousing are fast becoming popular in Hyderabad.

“The interest in such alternate therapies have been rising over the past five years. The number of clients have only doubled since 2013. During exam season, we always see a rise in children and parents seeking healing. Depression and lack of focus are two common issues children approach healers with,” said
