स्वेदोऽतिस्वेददौर्गन्ध्यकण्डूः II
Bromhidrosis is one of the most common body odor related condition. It is foul smelling of body associated with sweat. Normally perspiration do not cause any foul odor. Sweat, when combines with bacteria on the skin, it may produce a bad odor. Bromhidrosis can be prevented or treated by adopting better hygienic measures as well as by the intake of Ayurvedic medicines. Even though primarily it may cause only perceptional difficulties, if left untreated, it may lead to many complications like skin allergies, erythema etc.
Bromhidrosis can be taken as “Dourgandhya” according to Ayurveda. It is a condition caused by the aggravation of Pitta dosha. Pitta dosha in turn is aggravated by the use of hot and slimy food items, excessive anger, hot weather conditions etc. Ayurveda teachers have mentioned various treatment measures which can reduce Pitta dosha and thereby get rid of the condition “Dourgandhya”.
Causes of Bromhidrosis – Dourgandhya

- Anomalies in the function of sweat glands
- Other systemic diseases and
- Stress
Symptoms of Bromhidrosis – Dourgandhya

Types of Bromhidrosis – Dourgandhya
It is mainly 2 types:-
- Due to lifestyle
- Due to errors in sweat gland function
In the body we have mainly 2 types of sweat glands. 1- Apocrine sweat glands and 2- Eccrine sweat glands.
The above mentioned types of sweat glands can lead to abnormal body odor, apocrine gland is predominantly responsible for bromhidrosis. Apocrine glands are located mainly under the arms as well as in the breast and groin areas. When apocrine gland releases sweat, it is colorless and odorless. Bacteria’s in the body break down dried sweat to give the foul smell and will lead to this condition. Eccrine glands are present all over the body and the same mechanism occurs when bacteria’s affects the released sweat from the eccrine glands.
