Abstract and Figures

Introduction: A kidney stone is a cluster of crystals formed together to create a hard mass in one or both kidneys, bladder and the urinary tract, varying in size from a few millimetres to several centimetres causing severe pain. The majority of stones less than 10 mm in size will pass out of the body in the urine using various remedies, but some medical help is preferable. This paper presents 7 patient cases of kidney stones dissolved and patients relieved of pain, anxiety and worry and associated symptoms successfully using Yoga Prana Vidya healing protocols. Method: This paper uses the case study method, analysing patient medical records, and healers’ records with patient feedback. Results: The kidney stones of patients were fully dissolved within 45 days in respect of cases 1 and 2. In respect of cases 3 and 4, the kidney stones were dissolved within 10 to 14 days of healing. The patients correspondingly experienced complete relief of all symptoms within the same period. In respect of cases 5, 6 and 7, the kidney stones were dissolved within 5 days of healing in an in-house healing camp in a controlled Group environment. Conclusion: YPV healing protocols effectively healed and eliminated kidney stones (renal calculi). Documented and published evidence shows that integrated YPV system of healing protocols have been successfully applied in the treatment of a variety of illnesses holistically both as Complementary Medicine and as Alternative Medicine (CAM). Further research using appropriate samples and methodology is recommended. It is also worthwhile to train frontline health workers such as doctors and nurses in using YPV techniques to complement their respective specialties for the holistic healing of patients.

1. Introduction
1.1 Renal Calculi (Kidney Stones)
Urolithiasis (urinary calculi, or kidney stone as it is
called) refers to the formation of hard deposits made of
minerals or salts, that occur in the kidney, bladder and
urinary tract. Kidney stones are a common urological
condition that has been prevalent since ancient times.
In India urolithiasis aects about 2 million people
every year1. Its analysis is of great importance to the
therapy of residual and recurrent stones. Kidney stone
is the most painful and prevalent urological disorder
of the urinary system, and their formation may be due
to food habits (diet), age, sex, obesity, genetics and
environmental factors, geographical location, climate,
and lifestyle1.

YPV system does not use any drugs or touch. e
healer acts as a channel to draw in and transmit by
projecting Pranic energy to the patients physical body
parts as well as to the respective Chakrams of the energy
body which distribute the given energy to the physical
body.
e chakrams healed in YPV practice are shown in
Figure 3 and the process of the healer channelizing and
projecting Pranic energy (bio-plasmic energy) to the
patient is shown in Figure 4. Proximal healing happens
when the patient and healer are in the same room facing
each other. Distal healing is when the healer is not in
the presence or even situated far away from the patient,
hundreds or even thousands of Kilometers away. eir
energy bodies of all are within the energy body of earth
and energy transference from the healer to the patient
happens almost instantly. Radin, et al.,5 investigated
scientic evidence of distance healing intention therapies
and found that signicant experimental eects have been
observed.
As an integrated system, YPV applies three categories
of protocols, these are (1) Physical and Rhythmic breathing
A diet high in sodium, fats, meat, and sugar, low in
bre, vegetable protein and unrened carbohydrates
increases the risk of occurrence of kidney stones. Oxalate
is found in green beans, tomatoes, nuts, chocolates and tea
which increases the risk of kidney stones. Vegetarians have
relatively a decreased risk of developing kidney stones.
Studies have shown that even among meat eaters those
who ate higher amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables had
a lower incidence of stones2. Kidney stone formation can
happen to anyone and, 5-10 % of the Indian population
(over 50-100 million people) is estimated to be aected by
this condition2.
Medical therapy, used judiciously in combination with
dietary measures, can help in preventing recurrence and
in the expulsion of small size (<10 mm) stones. Creating
awareness of the advantages and limitations of dierent
modalities of medical therapy is necessary to provide the
treatment appropriately to patients complaining of kidney
stones3.
In about 85% of cases, kidney stones are small enough
to pass during urination, which usually occurs within
72 hours of the rst symptoms. A well-recommended
remedy to try is taking pain relievers and drinking at
least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day, plus one at bedtime
and another during the night, which can cause the stone
to pass more easily. One may need to urinate through
a strainer to collect the stone and give it to doctors for
analysis. Surgery may be required for stones that are too
large to pass on their own, or that may cause bleeding or
tissue damage4.
is paper presents 7 cases of patients, who were
healed to dissolve kidney stones successfully by YPV
healers using Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing protocols
as complementary, and alternative medicine. e basic
principles and practices of YPV are explained in the
following section.
1.2 Yoga Prana Vidya System
Yoga Prana Vidya system (YPV) is based on ancient
science which recognises the existence of an energy
body surrounding the physical body of human beings
and generally in all living entities. YPV treats and heals
both the physical body and energy body, known as the
bio-plasmic energy body or Aura, which surrounds
the physical body. Figures 1 and 2 depict the typical
energy bodies of a healthy person and a sick person
respectively.

Figure 2. Energy body of a sick person.

exercises, Forgiveness Sadhana for patient self-practice
either by oneself or in groups, (2) Guided Meditations for
the practice of patients by oneself or in groups including
joining the Group Healing sessions online, and (3)
energy healing, either self-healing or by the externally
trained healer. is way, a persons physical, mental, and
emotional domains are simultaneously healed enabling
holistic treatment of co-existing conditions.
A search of relevant literature shows that there
are over 70 published research articles on successful
applications of YPV protocols in treating a variety of
illness conditions as complementary as well as alternative
medicine. Some examples of successfully healed cases are
- female infertility, Rheumatoid arthritis, various types
of addictions, breast cancer, COVID-19, kidney disease,
brain stroke, knee-cap dislocation, Hodgkin Lymphoma,
Nephrotic syndrome, serious snake bite, hypothyroidism,
emergency and rst aid, high cholesterol, eye diseases,
arterial heart block, diabetes management and dicult
medical cases6–25. Given below is the report of 4cases of
people with kidney stones, healed successfully by three
independent healers and three cases healed in a healing
camp, in a controlled and guided group environment.
2. Case Series Report
2.1 Case 1 (Healer 1)
2.1.1 Patient Information
Patient codename – B.P., female, aged 32 years and lives
in Gujarat, India
e patient visited the YPV ashram for multiple
health conditions and had a health checkup in the
medical camp when she came to know about her 3.0 mm
non-obstructive le renal calculi reported in sonography
(USG report dated 16-03-2022). e patient stayed for 2
months at the ashram (15.03.2022-18.05.2022) seeking a
YPV healing remedy.
2.1.2 Pre-YPV Medical Conditions/Symptoms
e patient complained of a vomiting sensation
sometimes, nausea, headache, and disturbed bowel
motion. Physically, sometimes she was experiencing
stomach upset and pain, leg pain, severe headache,
and weak digestion. In addition, she was having
psychological feelings of anxiety and worry with
excessive thinking because of fear and stress, worrying
about the future, her relationships and self-respect.
2.1.3 YPV Intervention Details
She started following the ashram schedule including
food intake, with coconut water and fruits in the
morning breakfast, and for lunch and dinner, she
got accustomed to saltless and sugarless food as per
standard procedure at the Ashram. YPV proximal
healing sessions for her were started by an Associated
YPV Healer from 17.03.2022 to 18.05.2022. Further
distal healings were continued up to 11.06.2022
Daily healing was done in one session of 20 minutes
using HDP Level 1 protocol for kidneys as aected parts,
with emphasis on the urinary and digestive systems. In
addition, the healer included the patient in the scheduled
Divine group healing session at 10 am for 15 minutes daily.
As prescribed to her, the patient began to do Rhythmic
Yogic Breathing and Forgiveness Sadhana using YPV
Sadhana App.
She started feeling relaxed and reduced heaviness in
the stomach region, with no headache and improvement
in bowel motion. Even emotionally and mentally, she
started feeling more stable than before. During the next

month (May 2022), she complained of stomach pain due
to eating some specic food like corn. However, the pain
gradually reduced aer healing. She started experiencing
improvements with a reduction of symptoms such
as leg pain, severe headache, vomiting sensation and
nausea. During the following month (June 2022), her
bowel movement improved, no stomach upset and pain,
and there was a vast change in her behaviour pattern
emotionally and mentally. e next Sonography test
conducted on 11.06.2022 revealed that there were no renal
calculi, and this was achieved without any medication.
2.1.4 Present Condition
A follow-up aer 3 months showed there was no
evidence of renal calculus. She continues practising
forgiveness sadhana and rhythmic yogic breathing
using YPV Sadhana mobile app.
2.2 Case 2 (Healer 1)
2.2.1 Patient Information
e patient code-named – S2, female aged - 32 years,
lives in Gujarat, India.
2.2.2 Pre-YPV Symptoms and Medical Conditions
Pain in the abdominal area especially the right side
of the navel, and mild constipation; initially doctor
diagnosed it as a stomach infection but aer 15 days
still the pain was there, on and o aer medication
and the doctor suggested to do sonography. Physically
the patient was experiencing stomach upset and pain
sometimes. Mentally and emotionally, she was observed
to be disturbed and upset because of this sickness and
some family issues.
Medical diagnosis with USG on 19-04-2022 found that
there was a calculus of size 4 mm in the lower calyx of the
right kidney. Her doctor suggested drinking more water
and having fruits and suggested taking some medicines.
2.2.3 YPV Intervention Details
e patient approached an Associated YPV Healer who
started giving healings on 19.04.2022.
Daily distal healing was given in one session of 20
minutes using HDP Level 1 protocol to heal kidneys as
aected parts. More emphasis was added on the urinary
and digestive systems. In addition, the healer healed the
patient during the scheduled Divine group healing session
at 10 am for 15 minutes daily. e patient was prescribed
to do Rhythmic Yogic Breathing and Forgiveness Sadhana
using YPV Sadhana App.
In two days, the pain was reduced by 40%. e patient
did forgiveness sadhana before sleeping, and experienced
sound sleep. Her thinking pattern was also observed to
be stable.
During May 2022, she planned to go on a vacation
from 07.05.22 to 22.05.22 and consulted her doctor, who
prescribed some medicines for 15 days to treat stomach
infection and kidney calculus to dissolve. She however
took medicine to dissolve kidney calculus only for 7 days.
Because of complementary healing, she did not consider
the need to take digestion-related medicines, despite
eating out during vacation. During this time, she had no
pain in the stomach and abdominal area. ere was no
other complaint at physical, mental, or emotional levels.
In June 2022, her abdominal pain was cured 100%, and
she was also feeling relaxed emotionally and mentally. A
sonography test done on 14 June showed the kidney stone
dissolved 100% as there was no calculus seen in the lower
calyx of the right kidney.
A follow-up aer 3 months conrmed she had no
kidney stones. She continued practising forgiveness
sadhana every night before sleeping and doing it when
she nds herself emotionally and mentally disturbed.
e patient acknowledged that because of practising
Forgiveness sadhana and Rhythmic yogic breathing, she
was able to come out easily from her emotionally and
mentally disturbed state of mind as compared to before.
2.3 Case 3 (Healer 2)
2.3.1 Patient Information
e patient code-named – UC, female Aged 23 years,
and lives in Gujarat, India.
2.3.2 Pre-YPV Symptoms and Medical Condition
Severe pain started suddenly in the lower abdominal
area, and severe acidity, stomach burning, Vomiting
and nausea also started at midnight on 20th September
2021. Other than that, when she went for urination,
severe pain and burning were experienced during
urination. She was not able to sit, stand, lie down or
walk. Due to pain, she could not sleep the whole night.
Constant pain in the urination area started and it was
641
Parikh, et al.,

somewhat severe for her. She was also feeling feverish
and tired.
Physically, before the above symptoms, the patient was
suering from severe spine issues for the past 8-9 years.
She had undergone spine surgery for the same 3 times.
She was also having walking issues because of the spine
issue. At present, she was not experiencing any major
spine issues. She was also observed to be underweight.
She used to get tired with weakness very easily.
On 21st September 2021, the patient visited her doctor
who suggested a sonography test. e report identied
one lower ureteric stone of size 5.2 mm which was 4 cm
distal from VUJ. e Doctor treated her with a painkiller
injection and advised them to increase water intake.
e patient’s mother contacted a Certied YPV Healer
on 21st September 2021, and the healer started healing
the patient from that day.
2.3.3 YPV Intervention Details
YPV crystal healing was done using YPV HDP Level
1 protocol which includes YPV psychotherapy, special
blood cleansing techniques and internal organ cleansing
techniques plus a special protocol for stone dissolution,
once a day for about 15 minutes for each session by
distal healing. Additionally, one session of 15 minutes
was also given for stone dissolution daily, and one
more 15-minute session was given for pain reduction
as and when needed. e patient was also included in
the scheduled daily 10 am online Divine group healing
session to apply group energy to heal the patient for
15 minutes. e main focus was given to set right her
emotions which were aecting her urinary system and
digestive system. e patient was prescribed to do
Rhythmic Yogic breathing and forgiveness sadhana
thrice a day. It was noticed that the patient had a lot
of emotional issues like anger, irritation, frustration,
and stress. Within 2 days aer healing started, she
felt that her emotional issues have resolved to a great
extent. Earlier she was not able to sleep peacefully. So,
the healer suggested doing Forgiveness sadhana before
sleeping. Aer starting forgiveness Sadhana before
sleeping, she was able to sleep peacefully.
e patient learnt YPV Level-1 class on the 28th and
29th of September, 2021 and started doing self-healing
including Rhythmic Yogic Breathing and PPM (Planetary
peace meditation) on regular basis. erefore, the patient
felt that she was no longer getting tired, but feeling fresh
and energetic. She started motivating other people also
to learn YPV Healing so that they can change their life
positively. She was very much receptive and had faith in
healing, so she came out of pain and suering without
any medicines within only 10-12 days. On 4-10-2021,
she went for a sonograph test and the report came to be
normal. A follow-up aer 6 months revealed that the
patient sustained all improvements, and successfully
engaged in a full-time job.
2.4 Case 4 (Healer 3)
2.4.1 Patient Information
e patient codenamed PN, was a 50-year-old male, a
civil engineering professional, who lived in Mangalore,
Karnataka, India.
2.4.2 Before YPV Healing
During October 2017, the patient experienced
symptoms of severe abdominal pain, and the diagnosis
showed a renal calculus measuring 5-6mm in the mid
calyx of the right kidney, mild Hydroureteronephrosis
(HUN), and few calculi measuring 5-6mm in le
kidney and calculus measuring 5mm in le VUJ.
His doctor prescribed medication for a week. At this
time the patient consulted a YPV healer showing his
diagnostic reports and desired to be healed to cure his
condition.
2.4.2 YPV Healing Intervention
e healer started distal healing on 16.10.2017, daily
for 20 minutes. e healer was prescribed to do
breathing exercises, forgiveness sadhana 3 times a
day to take saltless food, fruits, and vegetables and to
drink more water daily. e healer gave YPV level 2
healings using colour energies, and YPV level 3 healing
to remove stress energy. e aected parts such as
kidneys and related parts cleansed and energised with
green and orange prana. Sex chakram, basic chakram
and perineum chakram were cleaned with green
and orange prana and energised with white prana.
Mengmein chakram and other chakrams were cleansed
and balanced. Gradually pain reduced day by day and
completely disappeared within a week of healing.
Encouraged by the progress the patient made, the
doctor took an ultrasound test on 26.10.2017, and the
report showed no evidence of calculus/hydronephrosis
642 Successful Healing Treatment of Renal Calculi (Kidney Stones)…

in the right kidney. But there was le proximal ureteric
calculus causing mild hydroureteronephrosis and the
size of the calculus reduced to 4-6mm in the le kidney.
Healing continued for another 15 days daily for 20
minutes each session, and healing was given alternate
days for another 15 days and stopped on 25.11.2017. e
patient was asked to continue practising YPV techniques.
A follow-up of the patient during May 2022 revealed
that there were no symptoms of kidney stones or any other
health issues further to the last healings the patient took,
conrming that the patient sustained the improvements.
An ultrasound test was done to check, and the report
stated that both kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder
were all normal.
2.5 Case 5, Case 6, and Case 7 (Healing
Camp)
2.5.1 Patient Information
Case 5 - e patient, codenamed SM, was a 50-year-old
male, who lived in Mysore, Karnataka, India.
Case 6 - e patient, codenamed SP, was a 48-year-old
male, who lived in Mysore, Karnataka, India.
Case 7 - e patient, codenamed SR, was a 33-year-old
male, who lived in Mysore, Karnataka, India.
2.5.2 Pre-YPV Symptoms and Medical Condition
ere were no complaints related to kidney stones in
any of the patients, a condition detected during the
healing camp ultrasound test.
2.5.3 YPV Healing Intervention
Healers had a unique health management program in
Mysore from 24th to 28th October 2012 to improve
the health condition of trainers, healers, and their
family members, under the guidance of Mr, NJ Reddy,
YPV founder with the help of other healers. Around
95 participants were present for this program. Pre-
medical tests were conducted at Sagar Apollo Hospital
for all the participants.
Some participants had health issues such as kidney and
gall balder stones, cysts, liver enlargement, broid, vision
problems, arthritis, prostate enlargement issues etc. Aer
four days of intense proximal healing sessions, participants
who had problems in the pre-medical tests were sent back
for a post-medical test. It was amazing to see that kidney
stones dissolved fully in two cases and one case three of
the four stones dissolved. None of the patients was having
any symptoms regarding kidney stones. ere was an
improvement in mobility and breathing condition. ere

was overall health improvement and stress reduction in
each participant and they felt good. e summary of all
results is shown in Table 1.
3. Discussion
Evidence in medical science suggests that kidney
stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable
chance of passing through the urinary tract. Keeping
kidney stone pain under control till the stone is passed
out is an important aspect of treatment modality26.
It is observed from the study of these cases that the
stones are less than 10 mm in diameter, and YPV
protocols enabled reducing symptoms such as stomach
pain, body pains, digestion problems, headache etc,
and associated psychological issues of anxiety, worry,
confusion and stress until the stone is passed out in the
dissolved condition. It is observed from the study of
cases 5,6 and 7 that because of group eort for healing
in a guided and controlled environment, miraculous
accelerated results appeared within 5 days. Kidney
stones are hard masses of solid stu which need the
energy to disintegrate and dissolve to pass out over some
time, and YPV energy healing protocols accomplished
this task of disintegrating and dissolving gradually at
a pace depending upon the individual components of
the stones. is would explain why some stones took a
much longer time to completely dissolve and pass out,
as seen in Table 1.
In medical science, there is a procedure called
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. In this process, the
large kidney stones are broken into small pieces by using
sound waves or shock waves to create strong vibrations.
e small pieces of broken stones can then be ushed
out of the body through urine27. In comparison, the
YPV process consists of projecting healing energy to the
body parts where the kidney stones are located, and these
energy waves gradually dissolve the stones into minute
particles that easily pass, ushed out by urine.
4. Conclusion
An examination of the multiple cases of treating kidney
stones in this study reveals that YPV energy healing
protocols successfully dissolved and eliminated kidney
stones in this completely safe process. Furthermore,
the patients were healed psychologically which enabled
them to manage symptoms such as pain in the lower
abdominal area, severe acidity, stomach burning,
vomiting and nausea, and in some cases, burning while
passing urine. As an integrated and holistic system,
YPV system protocols have dealt successfully with
several types of diseases treated as complementary and
alternative medicine eectively at low cost. Healing
camps in a guided and controlled environment in a
group accelerate the healing process. Such Healing
camps may be regularly conducted to help the needy
for overall improvement or upgradation holistically
at all levels, Further research using appropriate
methodology and the sample size is recommended.
It would be benecial for frontline health workers
to acquire a working knowledge of YPV to apply
complementarily in their practices for holistically
treating patients.

This paper presents cases of various addictions successfully overcome using YPV System Protocols. Method: This paper uses case study method going through case papers and feedback reports from subjects who had successfully overcome addictions using Yoga Prana Vidya system of protocols. Results: An Indian sample of 30 documented cases shows that Yoga Prana Vidya healers applied YPV protocols for de-addiction of these cases successfully, and the 7 subjects who could be followed up confirmed that they successfully sustained the change. An in-depth case study of a subject in Australia healed by a YPV healer in Australia shows that the subject cured completely of alcohol addiction after 2 weeks of YPV healing. Further to it, this subject learnt YPV Level 1 healing and became a healer to continue healing himself and others as well. Conclusion: YPV system is integrated and holistic, without touch or use of drugs. Decades of experience with YPV practice shows that many types of physical, mental and emotional illnesses have been cured successfully. YPV is easy to learn and simple to practice by all. Further research may be conducted on a larger sample of varied conditions of addiction to gain broader insights into this phenomenon.

Introduction: Kneecap (Patella) dislocation is a common injury experienced by sports persons and dancers, most common in females, and generally occurs in adolescents below 17 years of age. Usual diagnostic procedures include physical examination, followed by X-ray, CT scan and MRI. Patients experience severe pain, instability in the knee and difficulty to walk. Both conservative and surgical treatments are available and its choice depends on various factors. This paper presents a case of patellar dislocation conservatively treated using Yoga Prana Vidya System protocols without medication and combined with physiotherapy. Materials and Methods: This is an in-depth case study of a female aged 19 years at first instance of patellar dislocation. A study of the medical reports and patient/parents’ feed back is carried out and results assessed with a follow up after 6 months. Results: Within 2-3 months of healing and supported by physiotherapy, fitness certificate was issued by the specialist orthopaedic surgeon after examining her knee condition. A follow up after 6 months revealed that the patient had not experienced any swelling or pain, was able to walk and climb steps normally, was able to sit cross legged on floor with ease, with no other symptoms or discomfort. Conclusion: In this case study, it is observed that Yoga Prana Vidya healing helped the patient wholly in recovery stages 1, 2 and 3, enabling the patient lead normal life.

Introduction: Currently, there are no definitive, proven treatments for COVID 19, although multiple pharmacological options are being explored. A spate of clinical trials has been initiated in the wake of the outbreak, with no conclusions as of now. Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) system of healing is a non-touch non-drug treatment that is known to be effective as complementary medicine to treat several diseases successfully. Study Design: This is a case study of 11 patients who were successfully healed and speedily recovered. A group of competent YPV healers were teamed up to heal the patients in distance mode, using appropriate protocols to match the conditions and symptoms of each individual patient. Results: Data analysis showed that one patient recovered within 4 days of healing, 9 patients recovered in 8 days, and one patient took about 3 weeks because of other comorbid conditions. Conclusions: Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) system of healing has been found to be effective as complementary medicine to support hospital efforts in treating, enabling faster recovery (reduction of 16.67% to 73.3% in average time taken from admission to discharge) and saving the lives of COVID affected patients, paving the way for undertaking scientifically designed pilot studies at multiple locations and populations. YPV system can also be used to strengthen the immune system or as preventive measure. Key words: COVID 19, Treatment, patient recovery, Yoga Prana Vidya, Alternative medicine,

Introduction: kidneys filter blood by removing waste and extra water to make urine. The kidney's filtration rate, called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), shows how well the kidneys are filtering. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is known to be the 6th fastest growing cause of death globally. Early detection of CKD can help to protect kidney function. This paper presents a case of Stage 2 Kidney disease treated successfully by the application of Yoga Prana Vidya healing protocols. Method: This study uses case study method, analysing patient medical records and YPV protocols used in treating the patient for 6 months. Patient feedback also obtained for analysis. Results: Improvements in the main parameters achieved at the end of 6 months of YPV intervention show that eGFR improved from 79 to 95. Total Cholesterol improved from 235 mg/dl to 165 mg/dl. HDL Cholesterol increased from 32 mg/dl to 47 mg/dl and LDL Cholesterol reduced from 150 mg/dl to 94 mg/dl. Patient achieved peace and satisfaction of YPV treatment that worked for normalizing his kidney condition. Conclusion: Using the YPV intervention for this patient, only YPV healing was given and no other form of therapy or treatment was given for stage 2 kidney ailment, which shows that YPV Healing System can be applied not only as complementary treatment but also as an alternative treatment mode in such cases of diseases. Further research may be conducted with wider applications of YPV Healing system to various other kidney ailments.

Introduction: First aid refers to the emergency or immediate care to be provided when a person is injured or ill until full medical treatment is available. For minor conditions, first aid care may be enough. For serious problems, first aid care should be continued until more advanced care becomes available. Medical emergencies outside hospital settings can be effectively handled by trained first aid providers. The authors have examined several case summaries in which Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) System was effectively used as first aid and as a result patients recovered. Main symptoms & clinical findings: Examples of cases of patients in a variety of conditions presented in this report, such as, Dengue, high BP, blood clot in brain, high fever, Knee OA, hole in heart, jaundice, pancreatic disease, urinary infection, breast cancer, Asthma & Bronchitis, insect bites, pain, Dyspnoea, ulcers, depression and suicidal tendencies, vertigo & headache, accidental fractures, Intracranial haemorrhage, post alcoholic hepatic disorders. Therapeutic interventions & outcomes: In the summary of cases presented in this report, Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) Techniques were applied with successful results for patients, who responded positively to YPV healing therapies, and recovery took place in a short time. Conclusion: When used as first aid, Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) system of healing is complementary to the general medical and first aid procedures to save the patients until appropriate medical support is available. YPV techniques can be learnt easily and can be practiced effectively by all healthcare givers.
