Body Odor (Bromhidrosis)

Bromhidrosis is a condition of abnormal body odor. It is a chronic condition in which excessive odor, usually an unpleasant one, emanates from the skin. This condition is determined largely by apocrine gland secretion. Apocrine sweat glands produce sweat (odorless) that contains fatty materials. These glands are mainly present in the armpits and around the genital area and their activity is the main cause of sweat odor, due to the bacteria that break down the organic compounds in the sweat from these glands. Thus Bromhidrosis is caused by the decomposition of biological substances present in the sweat by the bacteria.

A Closer Look

Wash your body often with soap and water, a lack of soap and water causes the sweat to accumulate. Wash more often especially in the groin area and under the arms.

Excess toxins in the body can cause body odors which it is trying to eliminate. The toxins are increased by à eating wrong foods, eating too much food, staying up late at night, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, etc.

“Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.” Proverbs 3:7,8.
