Background: Acute bacterial pharyngitis is a common upper respiratory tract infection often requiring antibiotics or surgical intervention in severe cases. Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) System, a non-touch biofield energy healing modality, has shown promise in managing various physical and psychological conditions. This case report documents the rapid recovery of a 39-year-old female orthodontist diagnosed with bacterial pharyngitis and advised tonsillectomy. She received intensive YPV healing sessions over six days, resulting in complete symptom resolution without surgical intervention.

Methods: The patient underwent 20 healing sessions on the first day, followed by four daily sessions for the next five days. YPV protocols L-5, L-3 psychotherapy, L-2, and HDP L-1 were applied. Progress was monitored through patient feedback and clinical observation.

Results: Within 10 hours of initiating YPV healing, the patient reported significant relief in pain and voice restoration. By the second day, she resumed normal activities. By day six, she was symptom-free, and tonsillectomy was no longer required.

Conclusion: YPV healing may serve as an effective complementary therapy in acute bacterial pharyngitis, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures. Further controlled studies are warranted.
