Abstract:
Green prescription is a written prescription aimed at improving health by promoting physical activity and improving diet， with advantages such as high cost-effectiveness， strong feasibility， and minimal harm to patients. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） green prescription integrates the health philosophy of "following rule of yin and yang， and adjusting ways to cultivating health"， the exercise philosophy of balancing yin-yang and the five elements， and the dietary philosophy of moderation and balance， which embody core TCM concepts such as treating disease before its onset and harmony between humans and nature. It has also developed traditional exercise practices like Tai Chi， Baduanjin， Wuqinxi， Yi-Gin-Ching， and Qigong， as well as dietary adjustments like medicated diet and herbal wines. However， it is believed that the TCM green prescription currently suffers from insufficient evidence-based research， low patient awareness and acceptance， and weak basic research. Based on this， it is proposed that large-sample clinical trials should be conducted in the future to improve the quality of evidence-based medicine， basic research can be carried out with the help of artificial intelligence and other methods in research design， the hospital information system （HIS） can be used for control at the implementation level， and publicity and patient education can be strengthened through the new media， so as to promote the development and application of the TCM green prescriptions in the field of global health treatment.
