This paper presents a case of DVT of a 42 years old male patient who was successfully healed using Yoga Prana vidya (YPV) healing protocols as complementary medicine.Method: This is a case study method going through patient's medical reports, YPV healer's records and patient feedback. YPV intervention consisted of self-practice modules of physical exercises, Rhythmic Yogic breathing and Forgiveness Sadhana. Additionally, the YPV healer conducted healing sessions.Results: Within 5 weeks of healing, all symptoms of DVT disappeared. The patient was able to recover from fear of the disease completely. The patient continued practicing Rhythmic Yogic Breathing and Forgiveness Sadhana regularly to maintain wellness with self-care. He resumed working from office as usual. Conclusion:Yoga Prana Vidya System is an integrated and versatile system of treatment and healing which has treated the DVT condition as a complementary medicine with speedy recovery in this case. Further research is recommended using appropriate sample and methodology. It will be beneficial to train the frontline health care workers such as doctors and nurses in the application of YPV techniques as complementary to their individual specialties.
