Abstract: The theory of prevention and treatment of diseases is an important concept put forward in the period of Huangdi Neijing. It is the core thought of traditional Chinese medicine culture and the highly embodiment of the prevention thought of traditional Chinese medicine. It is of great practical significance to guide people's healthy lifestyle and promote residents' comprehensive physical and mental health. The theory of prevention and treatment of diseases is one of the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and its essence lies in taking corresponding measures to carry out the prevention, treatment and management of corresponding diseases, so as to prevent the occurrence and development of diseases from the initial stage to the end stage. The theory of prevention and treatment of diseases is mainly reflected in the three aspects of "prevention before disease, prevention against change after disease, and prevention and recovery after disease", which also includes the three stages of human disease occurrence, namely, the state before disease, the state after disease, and the state after disease. This article discusses the application of the theory of prevention and treatment of diseases in the prevention and treatment of five viscera diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, and further proves that the thought of "preventive treatment for disease" has a high theoretical guiding significance, in order to provide reference for clinical practice.
