The relationship between foot odor and internal organs in Chinese medicine

Chinese medicine believes that smelly feet are mainly related to the spleen and liver, which are caused by dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach (the spleen and stomach feel dampness and heat) or dampness and heat in the liver meridian (the liver meridian feels dampness and heat), and so on. 1. Damp-heat in the spleen and stomach: It is mostly caused by feeling damp-heat external evils, dietary irregularities, emotional factors, and the loss of nourishment of the spleen and stomach in later life. Damp-heat in the spleen and stomach can cause smelly feet, bloating, stomach pain, heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, bitter taste in the mouth, loss of appetite, poor bowel movement and other symptoms. 2. Damp-heat in liver meridian: mostly caused by external damp-heat or too spicy diet, etc. Damp-heat in liver meridian can cause smelly feet, itchy pubic area, swollen and painful testicles, and yellowish and turbid symptoms under the belt. If the symptoms of smelly feet are not relieved for a long time or accompanied by other discomforts, consult a doctor in time to identify the cause and then carry out targeted treatment.
