Urine is one of the important excretions of the body's metabolic waste, and its color, smell, and content can all reflect our health. When urine smells bad, it is likely to indicate that something is wrong with the body. In TCM theory, the change of urine odor is closely related to the function of human organs and the interaction between body fluids. This article will introduce some common urine odor and its possible causes, and provide some useful suggestions for you in combination with TCM prescriptions.
First of all, the smell of urine may be due to the influence of certain foods in the diet. For example, eating spicy and irritating foods such as chili, garlic, and onions can give urine a spicy smell, drinking coffee and strong tea can cause urine to taste sour, and eating foods such as peanuts and cauliflower may make urine smell like sulfur. These odors are usually temporary, and only need to be adjusted to eat light foods in moderation.
Secondly, urine odor can also be caused by some kind of problem inside the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is a close relationship between the smell of urine and the function of the internal organs. For example, if the urine is rancid, it may be caused by the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and you can drink tangerine peel tea or take hawthorn tablets to improve digestive function, while urine with a musty or moldy smell may be a sign of urinary tract infection and need to seek medical treatment in time.
In addition, the color of the urine can also reflect the health of the body. Under normal circumstances, the urine should be light yellow or transparent, if the color is dark, it is likely to be a sign of dehydration, you need to pay attention to increase the amount of water intake, if the urine is red, it may contain blood in the urine, it may be related to urinary bleeding, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the urine turns pale yellow or colorless, it may be that you have taken in too much water and need to adjust your water intake.
In addition to the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, famous Chinese medicine doctors in ancient and modern times have also left many treatments to deal with urine odor. For example, the Guizhi soup mentioned in the famous prescription "Jin Kui Yaolu" by the ancient famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing can improve the function of the spleen and stomach, and has a unique effect on the smell of urine. In addition, the Chinese herb Eucommia ulmoides also has the effect of promoting kidney function and can be used under the guidance of a doctor.
In conclusion, the smell and color change of urine are often closely related to human health. If there is a bad smell in the urine, you should pay attention to it in time and understand the possible cause, and do not take it seriously.
