Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) Healing in Post-Bypass Surgery Recovery with Complications of Epiglottis Flap Dysfunction and Infected Vein-Harvest Wound: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Post-bypass surgery complications such as epiglottis flap dysfunction and infected vein-harvest wounds severely impair recovery, especially in elderly patients. Conventional rehabilitation often struggles to address multidimensional recovery needs. Integrative approaches like Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing may offer complementary benefits.

Case Presentation: A 73-year-old male with hypertension, prior cardiac stenting (2018), brain tumor (2022), paralysis (2023), and recent bypass surgery (January 2026) developed severe complications: epiglottis dysfunction causing loss of speech and feeding tube dependence, pus formation in the leg wound from vein harvesting, immobility, and depression. YPV healing was initiated on 10 February 2026, using protocols such as soaking, cleansing & energising, psychotherapy, blood strengthening, internal organ healing, and group blessings. Sessions were conducted twice daily for 30 minutes over 30 days.

Results: Speech clarity improved within 48 hours. Oral feeding resumed by day 10, and the feeding tube was removed by day 20. The infected leg wound showed progressive healing, with reduced pus and improved strength. By day 15, the patient began assisted walking, and by day 24, walker-supported ambulation was possible. Psychological well-being improved, with reduced depression and increased positivity.

Conclusion: YPV healing facilitated rapid recovery in swallowing, speech, wound healing, mobility, and emotional health. This case highlights the potential of integrative energy healing in complex post-surgical recovery. Further research with controlled studies is recommended.
