In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the smell problem is related to the pathological factors such as damp heat, damp cold, and dampness. In this article, we will combine the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and quote ancient and modern prescriptions to give you a detailed account of the causes and solutions of fishy smell.
First of all, let's understand the interpretation of **smell in Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the change of women's ** smell is closely related to pathological factors such as damp heat, damp cold, and dampness. Among them, damp heat refers to the combination of dampness and heat in the body, damp cold represents the combination of dampness and cold, and dampness means that there is too much dampness in the body and it accumulates. These pathological factors such as damp heat, damp cold, and dampness will lead to a fishy odor.
So, what are the reasons for the fishy smell?
First, the fishy smell caused by damp heat.
Damp heat is considered to be one of the most common pathological factors in TCM theory. Damp heat can be triggered by factors such as frequent sexual activity, excessive dampness in the body, and improper diet. When damp heat invades, it will cause the secretion to produce a foul smell, which is manifested as a fishy odor.
Second, the fishy smell caused by the damp cold.
Dampness and cold are also a common pathological factor. It is generally caused by factors such as the body getting cold, wearing thin pants, and eating cold food. Dampness and cold will lead to excessive moisture, which in turn will affect the smell. The fishy odor of the damp cold type is often accompanied by a cold sensation and watery discharge.
Third, the fishy odor caused by dampness.
The accumulation and non-dissipation of moisture is the main manifestation of dampness. The damp type of **fishy odor is often accompanied by symptoms such as itching, increased white or yellow discharge, etc. Turbidity can be caused by factors such as unclean sexual life, improper cleaning, synthetic fibers, etc.
Now that we understand the causes of the fishy smell, we also need to know how to solve this problem. There are many ancient and modern prescriptions in Chinese medicine to help improve the smell problem, and here are a few commonly used methods::
First of all, keep it clean.
Proper cleaning is key to preventing odor problems. Use a mild detergent and avoid products with strong fragrances. When cleaning, you should pay attention to gently cleaning the **part with detergent and avoid washing ** inside, because washing ** inside will destroy the self-cleaning mechanism of **.
Second, adjust your diet.
The damp-hot type of fishy odor is closely related to the dietary structure. It is recommended that women reduce the intake of spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, and increase the intake of vegetables, fruits, red beans, tea and other heat-clearing and detoxifying foods to help improve the symptoms of dampness and heat.
Again, the use of traditional Chinese medicine**.
There are some famous prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine that can be used to improve the fishy odor. For example, barley tea has the effect of benefiting water and dampness, and is suitable for wet and turbid fishy odors. Green tea has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and it also has a certain improvement effect on the fishy smell of the damp heat type.
Finally, be active in your health.
