When everyone gathers and plays together, when they suddenly smell an unpleasant smell, they will have a strong sense of disgust, which is like the experience of patients with armpit odor, which makes many friends stay away from them, makes their interpersonal relationships suffer, and makes them feel inferior and lonely.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that axillary odor (fox odor) is mostly related to congenital endowment, which inherits the turbid gas of the parents' armpits, fumigates outside, and comes out from the armpits; or due to overeating spicy and thick products, resulting in dampness and heat; Or it is caused by the hot weather and thick clothes, and the bath is not taken for a long time, so that the fluid can not be unobstructed, so that the dampness and heat are turbid, and the fumigation is outside the body skin.
Traditional Chinese medicine calls fox odor also known as "body qi", "fox dryness", and "fox qi", and believes that fox odor is mostly related to innate endowment, which is congenital, inherits the turbid qi under the armpit of the parents, fumigated outside, and comes out from the armpit; or due to the excessive consumption of spicy and thick products, resulting in dampness and heat; or by the hot weather, the clothes are thick, and the bath is not taken for a long time, so that the fluid can not be unobstructed, so that the damp heat and turbidity fall outward, and fumigation is caused by fumigation outside the body skin.
There is often a family history, and the disease usually begins in adolescence, and the armpits, areola, umbilicus, and pubic area can smell like wild foxes. If the smell is aggravated in summer or when there is a lot of sweating, it is not possible to approach people, especially when there are brown stripes and holes under the armpits, the sweat is as yellow as cypress juice stained with clothes, the ear canal is soft and staring, and the tongue and veins can be as ordinary people.
There is often no family history, it is more likely to occur in summer, the armpits are sweaty and the shirt is yellow, there is a slight fox odor, which can be temporarily reduced or eliminated after bathing, accompanied by red tongue and greasy tongue, and the number of pulses is slippery.
Regarding the dialectic of Chinese medicine on axillary odor and fox odor, Chinese medicine classics believe that the production of fox odor and axillary odor is mainly "the accumulation of blood and qi disharmony". On the yin and yang in the person, blood and qi, the two are adjusted, then the line of scattered, Mo or the bottom stagnation, up to the shape, smooth in the skin, all of them are not in harmony, lose their appropriateness, blood and gas thus condense, so there is the disease of fox odor.
The liver qi is depressed inside and comes out of the armpits, and its smell is like a fox, and it is also called a fox smell. There is a hole under the armpit, and the liver qi is full of holes, and its qi is vented outside, and the cover cannot be approached, and it is really from the liver through the evil qi.
Clinically, according to the experience feedback of the armpit odor prescription "Clearing Evil and Dispersing Odor Soup", fox odor can be well improved by regulating qi and blood, stopping sweat and dehumidifying, which is also consistent with modern medicine's belief that fox odor is related to sweat.
"Ancient and Modern Medical System" records that "the armpit belongs to the foot syncope yin and liver meridians, and the liver qi is depressed in the inside and comes out of the armpit, and its smell is like a fox, and it is also called a fox smell." There is a hole under the armpit, and the liver qi is full of holes, and its qi is vented outside, and the cover cannot be approached, and it is really from the liver through the evil qi. Although the outside is rubbed with withered alum and musk, it only treats the urgent needs of the moment, and does not return to the same as the old one all day long. What is the root cause of the cure? If the evil of the liver is soothed, the qi will rest by itself, such as laxative liver soup, Longhui pills, and so on."
"Ancient and Modern Medical System" believes that in the treatment, drugs such as gentian laxative liver decoction, angelica longhui pills, spider powder, luminous sand, and Tianluo powder are mostly used.
According to the law of the onset of fox odor, the cause of the onset of fox odor is attributed to the disharmony of qi and blood in the five internal organs, which can be divided into multiple syndrome types, such as the disharmony between camp and health, the expression of dampness and poison, and the manifestation of feng shui.
It is advisable to return to the surface of the yang, dispel rheumatism, and add or subtract astragalus decoction with anti-self: Han Fangji, raw astragalus, fried atractylodes, raw atractylodes, poria cocos bark, Ze Yuan, psyllium (package), plantain, raw licorice, etc."
The body is obese, and each more than the surface is insufficient. Loving thick tastes, damp evil must be remembered. The surface is weak and wet, and the sweat comes out of the armpits, the hands are damp and sticky, and the hair is smelly. The basic recipe for clearing evil and dispersing odor soup can be described as a relative proof and an effect. The idea is correct and worth studying. ”
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people who suffer from fox odor are born with Shaoyang Xuanfu and cardinal dysfunction, and the armpit is the most loose place of Shaoyang, so the depressed and turbid qi of Shaoyang Xuanfu is exposed to the armpit, which is actually a manifestation of self-regulating function. However, Western medicine surgery to remove the axillary glands to treat fox odor is to block the passage that seals the turbidity air and penetrates the external air, which does not treat the symptoms and does not cure the root cause, and it is afraid that there will be all kinds of harm but no benefit; patients who have removed the axillary glands are very likely to develop and accumulate ecstasis in the future.
In nature, where there is dirt and corruption, the causes are: one is that there is a source of origin and it is wasted to clean up and remove, and the other is that the opening and closing are not smooth, and the atmosphere is depressed and does not circulate. And the problem of human fox odor is the same as the formation of it. Therefore, the treatment of fox odor is like purifying the natural decay and turbidity, one is to clean up the decaying things, and the human body should clear away heat and dampness and remove turbidity; Although the constitution classification of fox odor patients is congenital and deep-rooted, as long as the treatment prescription is right and the doctor and patient stick to it, it should be possible to change this congenital deficiency over time.
The etiology, syndrome, and treatment are clear, so half a small chaihu soup (with chai xiaqin, to grass jujube ginger) and three kernel decoction are used to make progress;
Modern medicine believes that axillary odor is an inherited skin metabolic disease, and genetic changes are the main cause of the disease. Specifically, the secretion of apocrine glands is abnormal, secreting far more oil and protein than ordinary people. Apocrine gland secretions are broken down by bacteria in moist parts of the body to form unsaturated fatty acids with a special odor.
