"Fox odor" is known as "body qi", "fox qi", "fox dryness" in traditional medicine, etc., and many ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine have recorded its etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment drugs. First of all, as recorded in "The Source of Miscellaneous Diseases", "axillary odor and leakage are all congenital dampness and depression", traditional medicine believes that axillary odor is mostly related to congenital factors, and believes that "its symptoms are mostly multiplied by parents, and the turbid qi comes out from the armpits"; Secondly, traditional medicine believes that due to the difference in personal constitution, living habits, environment, etc., eating more greasy and spicy food, hot weather, sweating and other reasons cause the "evil connotation of dampness and heat", and the turbidity "discharges on the body surface, which is the main cause of armpit odor". These two points corroborate with the previously mentioned modern medical understanding of the pathogenesis of axillary odor.
In terms of treatment ideas, TCM believes that dampness and heat should be eliminated and personal physique should be regulated at the same time. On the one hand, it can be treated with special Chinese medicine to dispel evil and kill insects, and at the same time, it can be treated with the idea of dissolving dampness and dissipating heat. So as to fundamentally solve the problem of fox odor to prevent the recurrence of the disease.
Tang Sun Zhenren's "Preparation for Emergencies": "There are people who are born with a bad smell, those who are dyed by people, those who are born with a bad smell are difficult to treat, and those who are dyed by people are easy to treat." Yang Shiying's "Ren Zhai Zhizhi Fang" in the Southern Song Dynasty has the eyes of armpit beard, and Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" also cites it. Later generations of physicians such as Zhu Danxi and Li Shizhen have studied this disease, such as the "Compendium of Materia Medica" for the treatment of this disease as many as 41. Chinese medicine believes that the onset of axillary odor is caused by dampness, heat, internal depression or heredity, and points out that the umbilicus, groin, and perianal area can occur. These understandings and treatment experiences of our predecessors are indeed valuable.
The "Jiuji Good Prescription" of the family biography of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing records the composition of the axillary odor powder made of red powder, alum, gypsum, keel, and clove five-flavor Chinese medicinal materials.
Jun medicine: red powder, alum, anti-itching and insecticide, deodorant.

Traditional medicine believes that fox odor is mostly related to congenital factors, and believes that "its symptoms are mostly multiplied by parents, and the turbid qi comes out from the armpits"; Secondly, traditional medicine believes that due to the differences in personal constitution, living habits, environment, etc., eating more greasy and spicy food, hot weather, sweating and other reasons cause the "evil essence of dampness and heat", and the "turbidity" is discharged from the body surface, which is the main cause of armpit odor. These two points can be mutually corroborated with modern medicine's understanding of the pathogenesis of axillary odor.
In terms of treatment ideas, TCM believes that dampness and heat should be eliminated and personal physique should be regulated at the same time. It can be treated with the idea of dissolving dampness and dissipating heat, while the "Long-term Accumulation of Good Prescriptions" written by the family of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing records the valuable formula of making axillary odor powder with five flavors of Chinese herbal medicine, which is generally not smelly and long-lasting and fresh.
The term fox odor was first seen in Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" in the Jin Dynasty. Although the disease does not endanger the patient's health, due to the special odor of the armpit, it greatly affects the patient's life and work, and can seriously endanger the patient's mental health. Modern medicine believes that the disease is caused by abnormal secretion of apocrine glands. It is most obvious after hot sweating, and may be accompanied by colored sweating (more common in yellow), and in a few patients, the vulva, anus, and areola may also be involved. Most patients have cerumen in the external auditory canal, commonly known as "oily ear". Patients are more female than male, have genetic characteristics, puberty is the most obvious, there is a tendency to decrease or disappear in old age, menstruation and pregnancy can make axillary gland secretion active and aggravated.

This prescription is a topical medicine, which can go directly to the sick place and quickly dispel evil and kill insects. However, the internal administration of traditional Chinese medicine takes a relatively long time, and the external medicine has the advantages of high quality and low price and fast onset compared with internal Chinese medicine. Western medicine often uses surgery, but there is a recurrence, and the movement of the shoulder joint on the operated side will be affected to a certain extent. At the same time, due to the particularity of the onset of axillary odor, it is easy to be infected, and most of the infections will form scars after surgery, which will bring some adverse effects to patients. It can be seen that the external use of Chinese medicine also has many advantages over surgery.
