A Case Study of Chronic Fungal Urinary Tract Infection: Resolution Through Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) Healing

Abstract

Background: Chronic fungal urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly candiduria (the presence of Candida species in the urine), are difficult to manage and often recur despite conventional treatment. Integrative healing modalities such as Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) have shown promise in addressing chronic conditions through energy-based interventions. A 37 years old female patient presented with a 17-year history of recurrent vaginal itching and frequent urination, diagnosed as chronic fungal UTI. Multiple specialist consultations and medications across allopathic, Ayurvedic, and dermatological disciplines brought only temporary relief.

Objective: To report the resolution of the 17-year chronic fungal UTI in a female patient using YPV healing techniques and lifestyle modifications.

Methods: Case study method is used in this study by collecting data from the patient and the YPV healer. The intervention included daily energy healing sessions, breathing exercises, forgiveness sadhana, physical routines, and a salt-free diet and fruits. Healing focused on cleansing and energizing specific chakras (basic, sex, and navel Chakras), cleansing the meng mein Chakra, and cleansing and energizing organs (kidneys, ureter, bladder and urethra). Healing also included psychotherapy and blood-cleansing techniques.

Results: The patient reported significant symptom relief within two days and complete resolution within one month. A urine test conducted after 2 months confirmed the absence of yeast cells. No recurrence was observed during a two-month follow-up, when the patient expressed sustained well-being.

Conclusion: This case suggests that YPV healing protocols may be an effective alternative therapy for chronic fungal UTIs, especially in cases unresponsive to conventional treatment. Further clinical studies are recommended to explore its broader applicability and underlying mechanisms.
