Abstract：Miao medicine is guided by the medical theories of the Miao ethnic group,and the drugs used by the Miao people are derived from natural plants and animals for the prevention and treatment of diseases and protection of health.In recent years,a large number of clinical studies have shown good clinical efficacy of traditional Miao medicine in the treatment of prostatic diseases,with the advantages of easy availability,low price,and minimal adverse reactions.However,currently no systematic literature review has been reported on the treatment of prostatic diseases with Miao medicine.This article focuses on the commonly used Miao drugs recorded in the Chinese Materia Medica-Miao Medicine,with a systematic review of relevant literature retrieved on the treatment of prostate disea-ses with Miao medicine in recent years and a summarization of the advances in the studies of its pharmacological effects,mechanisms of action and clinical application,aiming to provide some new perspectives and ideas for further academic research and clinical develop-ment of Miao medicine.
