Abstract

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease prevalent worldwide and primarily affects joints. While the cause of RA is not clear, scientific opinion considers it as a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Several treatment options are available and this paper presents a case of one 60 years old female patient suffering for 8 years from chronic RA despite regular medication was healed successfully using Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) protocols as complementary medicine.

Materials and Methods: Case study method is used in this study going through patient’s medical records before and after YPV healing treatment given by a YPV healer.

Results: Within 5 months of self-practice and daily healings given by a healer based at YPV Ashram, the patient fully recovered and is leading healthy life full of vitality, beyond her expectations. She is able to climb the stairs and also bend down, and perform all household chores normally.

Conclusion: This case study documents the evidence gathered on the effective use of YPV in healing and treating Rheumatoid Arthritis. To produce holistic and optimum results, YPV uses a combination of approaches that include: Physical exercises, Rhythmic Yogic Breathing, Forgiveness Sadhana, Salt free diet and fruit diet, Meditation techniques, healing by trained and experienced healers, participation in group healing, regular self-practice of specified techniques. Recommendations include further research on the application of YPV as alternatively effective and low-cost medicine for various medical conditions using appropriate sample.
