[Principles and rules for andrological medication based on the axis of "brain-heart-kidney-essence chamber"]

The theory of the "brain-heart-kidney-essence chamber" axis, which supplements and contributes to the construction of the andrological theory system of traditional Chinese medicine, aims to summarize and grasp the laws of andrological pathogenesis and guide andrological syndrome differentiation and medication. The core concept of the axis is that the brain, heart and kidney act as a whole and play a vital role in the onset of male diseases. "Brain god" is used to embrace the environmental, social pressure, psychological and other pathogenic factors for male diseases in contemporary society. The kidney, which is directly and closely related to the onset of male diseases, is considered as the core of the syndrome differentiation system of zang-fu organs. The abuse of the essence chamber is the final link in the onset of male diseases. Based on this theory, the author outlines the characteristics of prescription selection and summarizes the combinations of common, experienced and special drugs, aiming to provide a better guidance for clinical medication in andrology.
