Introduction
The liver is a vital organ in the human body. If liver function is impaired, it may lead to stagnation or poor flow of liver qi, resulting in a significant increase in blood urea nitrogen and ammonia levels. Some of these substances are expelled through the breath via the mouth, causing bad breath. Additionally, when the liver is under heavy load, it transfers excess heat to other parts of the body, prompting the body to release heat through sweating, which contributes to body odor.

Poor liver function may lead to particularly bad breath and body odor. If abnormal symptoms occur, it is important to seek medical evaluation as early as possible to determine the exact condition and initiate appropriate treatment.

1. Oral health

The liver is a vital organ in the human body, located primarily in the upper right abdomen, and performs multiple functions including bile secretion, participation in metabolism, and detoxification. When liver function is impaired, it may result in stagnation or poor flow of liver qi, significantly increasing levels of blood urea nitrogen and ammonia. These substances are partially expelled through respiration via the mouth, leading to varying degrees of halitosis (bad breath).

2. Body odor

In addition, when the liver is under significant stress, excess heat from the liver may spread to other parts of the body. This prompts the body to dissipate liver heat through sweating, which can result in body odor and an unpleasant smell.

Individuals with liver problems should promptly visit a hospital for diagnosis and receive treatment based on the underlying cause and specific condition of liver damage. It is also important to get adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue in daily life.
