Sweat Has a Strong Odor

Sweat having a strong odor is a sign of need for liver or kidney support. It is also a sign of possible magnesium deficiency. The sweat glans are another excretory organ, and the more toxic the body, the more toxic the sweat is likely to be. With adequate live detoxification and kidney excretion, it is less likely that the sweat gland and the skin in general will act as a primary excretory organ.

Another possible cause is bowel toxemia. Bowel toxemia normally starts with the pre-existing hypo chlorhydria. Proteins that are not digested and broken down adequately in the stomach from the substrate for bacteria and yeast to proliferate, which produce excess amounts of toxic metabolites. The liver detoxifies toxins produced from the gut. If the liver is not functioning optimally or if the amount of toxin production overwhelms its metabolic capacities, the toxin can enter systemic circulation. The sweat serves a major excretory function and if the kidney or liver is dysfunctional the body will use the skin as a route of elimination. The toxic metabolites usually have a strong odor that can be smelt on the breath and the urine as well as in the sweat.
