1, the basic prescription of traditional Chinese medicine for treating body odor
No matter for people of any age, most skin diseases are related to heavy moisture and low immunity. Body odor is a kind of skin disease, and it is no exception. Patients with body odor are prone to wet and sweat under their armpits, which is a manifestation of heavy moisture. Body odor spray can not fundamentally improve the physique of body odor patients, so it can not be eradicated. Here is a method to help fundamentally improve the physique of patients with body odor.
Materials: Atractylodes macrocephala 15g, Astragalus membranaceus 18g, Stephania tetrandra 9g, Ginger 9g, Jujube 9g and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch 15g.
Usage: Wash all the medicines and put them in a casserole for 1~2 hours. Boil with high fire, simmer with low fire for 15 minutes, filter out the decoction and add water before frying. Decoct for 3 times at a time, and mix the decocted decoction evenly, and take it several times, one dose per day. This medicine soup is the basic prescription for treating body odor, and it can only be added or subtracted according to the symptoms when applied, and the effect is better.
2, body odor precautions
(1) diligent cleaning: patients with body odor sweat more and take a bath frequently, at least twice a day. If the conditions do not allow bathing, you can also clean your armpits or other sweating parts yourself.
(2) Keep a light diet: patients with body odor should not eat high-calorie meat or food with strong irritation, such as dog meat, fat, pepper, ginger and garlic.
(3) Removing armpit hair: Women with thick hair can go to a professional beauty shop to remove armpit hair. If there is too much armpit hair, the air permeability under the armpit will become worse and bacteria will grow faster.
(4) Avoid using perfume to cover up body odor: Many women use perfume to cover up body odor, but not all perfumes can achieve the effect of inhibiting body odor. If the perfume smell is not used properly, it will produce a more unpleasant smell.
(5) Wear cotton-padded jacket: cotton-padded jacket absorbs sweat and deodorizes, and is comfortable to wear, suitable for people with body odor.
3. Will body odor be inherited?
Body odor is hereditary and dominant.
Sweat from apocrine glands (also known as apocrine glands) of patients with body odor is yellowish and viscous, and the fatty acids in sweat are higher than those in normal people. When the fatty acid in sweat reaches a certain concentration, it will produce an unsaturated fatty acid, which will give off an unpleasant smell after being decomposed by bacteria such as staphylococcus on the skin surface. The high concentration of fatty acids in sweat and bacteria on the skin surface are the two main culprits of body odor. But everyone will encounter bacteria on the skin surface, but it is innate that the amount of fatty acids discharged reaches a certain concentration.
Scientifically speaking, the occurrence of body odor is related to genetic factors, personal constitution and sweat gland structure, but the main reason is family inheritance. Statistics show that one parent has body odor, and the probability that their children have body odor is above 50%; If both parents have body odor, the incidence will reach 80%. If children don't inherit body odor from their parents, then their offspring will not suffer from body odor again.
