Chronic prostatitis is a process of kidney deficiency and blood stasis mixed with various pathological factors involving the essence chamber, which is manifested as kidney deficiency and blood stasis. Based on the concept of the "brain-heart-kidney-essence chamber" axis of medication, Xiongji Formula is applied to the treatment of chronic prostatitis, due to its "simultaneous holistic and local action" and effects of tonifying the kidney yang and assisting the systemic yang, acting on the brain, heart and kidney as a whole, and meanwhile activating blood circulation, eliminating blood stasis and restoring the function of the essence chamber. This paper discusses the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic prostatitis with kidney deficiency and blood stasis in Chinese medicine, expounds the significance of "brain-heart-kidney-essence chamber" axis of medication, and explores the specific value and clinical application of Xiongji Formula.
