Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, idiopathic inflammatory disease that affects the colon, most commonly afflicting adults aged 30–40 years, resulting in disability. It is characterized by relapsing and remitting mucosal inflammation, starting in the rectum and extending to proximal segments of the colon. In traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the invasion of external pathogenic factors causing Damp-Cold and Damp-Heat, inadequate diet and violent emotions are the source of the disease.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to demonstrate that patients with ulcerative colitis have energies alterations and chakras energies deficiencies as underline causes. Methods: A case report of a 32- years-old female patient with diagnosis of ulcerative colitis ten years ago (2010) and a very difficult childhood when her mother died before the disease began. The UC symptoms started with a bloated belly and excessive intestinal gas. She has been treated by proctologist doctor and was receiving Sulfasalazine medications but she was willing to have another type of treatment without using so many medications. She searched for traditional Chinese medicine treatment and the doctor did the diagnosis of Yin, Yang, Qi deficiency and Heat retention and was submitted to the radiesthesia procedure to see how her internal organs energy was. The result of this measurement was that all her six chakras were without energy (rated one out of eight) with the exception of the seventh that was normal. The treatment consisted in Chinese dietary counselling, auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting and replenishment the chakras energies using homeopathies and crystal based medications.

Results: The patient showed a significant improvement after the treatment performed.

Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that patients with ulcerative colitis have an energy imbalance and chakras’ energies deficiencies as demonstrated in this case report. The corrections of these energies imbalances is important to treat the root of the problem that are the energies imbalances and chakras ´energies deficiencies and not just the symptoms presented by the patient.
