The Clinical Applications and Cultural Acceptance of Sound Therapy Practices in India Sound therapy in India is experiencing a renewed interest that bridges its ancient cultural and spiritual foundations—rooted in concepts like Nāda Yoga and the Ayurvedic understanding of sound's effect on bodily energies—with modern clinical applications. Practitioners are increasingly integrating music and sound as therapeutic tools for mental health care, often employing culturally relevant methods for client engagement. While the field shows strong potential for inclusion in mainstream health services for stress reduction and well-being, its continued growth relies on establishing clearer professional regulatory frameworks and dedicated policy support.
