Abstract
Introduction: Rickets is a pediatric skeletal disorder caused by defective bone mineralization, primarily due to vitamin D deficiency, resulting in bone deformities and impaired mobility. Conventional management includes supplementation of vitamin D and calcium, but complementary approaches are increasingly explored. Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV), an energy-based healing modality, has shown promise in integrative health care.
Case Presentation: This case report documents the application of YPV healing in a 2-year-old female child diagnosed with rickets, presenting with bent knees, brittle bones, and difficulty in standing or walking. Her parents approached two certified YPV healers who conducted daily sessions for 90 days, employing psychotherapy, chakra cleansing especially lower chakras and group healing.
Results: Progressive improvement was observed within six weeks, with the child able to stand and walk without discomfort by the end of three months. Parents reported complete recovery, with sustained improvements in mobility and bone alignment.
Conclusions: This case highlights the potential of YPV healing as a supportive intervention in pediatric rickets, complementing conventional care. While anecdotal, the findings suggest scope for further controlled studies to evaluate YPV’s role in bone health and pediatric rehabilitation.
