陈实功曰∶体气，一名胡气，俗称狐骚气，又呼狐骚臭。此因父母有所传染者
又有胡胎而受者，故不脱本来气质。凡有此者，腋下多有棕纹数孔，出此气味，当
以五香散擦之，以解其味。（《正宗》）
澄曰∶凡治腋臭，用药后必须穿新衣，如穿旧衣，务于日中将所着衣，用灰水洗
净，又泡去衣袖中臭味，皆无气味。若洗不净气味，枉用其药，大概药无不验，多
是衣服再作气息，所以不能断根耳。
狐臭不可近身 大蜘蛛一枚，用黄泥少加赤石脂并盐，杵熟作窝，放蜘蛛于
内，先以小火煨干，渐加猛火 红，候冷取出蜘蛛，加轻粉一分，研细，和米醋调
膏，临卧时，先将腋洗净，以膏搽之，次早洗下黑汁恶物为效。即将此汁埋弃僻静
之所，勿令染人，万不可穿旧时衣，慎之慎之。
又方 大田螺一个，以水养之，伺其靥开，以巴豆仁一粒，用针挑放螺内，将
螺拭干，仰放盏内，俟螺化水，取擦腋下。

Prescription: Roast Fenugreek Seed (Fenugreci Semen) until dry, grind into powder. Take 3 qian per dose, mixed with Quince Wine (Chapeci Fructus Infusum) for oral administration.
Chen Shigong stated: "Tiqi" (Body Odor), also known as "Huqi," is commonly referred to as fox odor or fox stench. This condition may be inherited from parents or congenital, thus inherent to one's original constitution. Individuals with this condition often have several brownish pores in the axillary region that emit this odor. It should be treated by applying Wuxiang San (Five-Aromatic Powder) to resolve the smell. (From *Zhengzong*)
Gu Shicheng stated: When treating axillary osmidrosis, after applying medication, one must wear new clothes. If only old clothes are available, they must be washed thoroughly with ash water at noon and soaked to remove odors from the sleeves until no scent remains. If the odor is not completely removed from the clothing, even effective medicines will be futile. Generally, medicines are effective; the failure to cure permanently is usually due to residual odors on reused clothing.
Fox odor should not be allowed to come close to the body: Take one large spider. Mix it with a small amount of yellow clay, Red Halloysite (Halloysitum Rubrum), and salt. Pound the mixture into a paste to form a nest-like structure, placing the spider inside. First, bake slowly over low heat until dry, then gradually increase the fire intensity until red. Allow to cool, then retrieve the spider. Add 1 fen of Calomel (Calomelas), grind finely, and mix with Rice Vinegar (Oryzae Sativae Fermentum) to form a paste. Before going to bed, wash the axillae clean, apply the paste, and wash off the discharged black fluid and foul matter the next morning, which indicates efficacy. Bury these fluids in a secluded place to avoid contaminating others. Do not wear old clothes under any circumstances; exercise utmost caution.
Another prescription: Take one large river snail (Cipangopaludina chinensis), keep it in water. Wait for the operculum to open, then use a needle to insert one seed of Croton Tiglium (Crotonis Fructus). Wipe the snail dry, place it upside down in a cup, and wait for it to dissolve into liquid. Use this liquid to rub the axillae.

Another prescription:
Arsenicum Album (Realgar/Orpiment context implies Arsenic compounds, here likely referring to processed arsenic minerals like Pishuang or similar, but strictly 'Sha' refers to Realgar/Orpiment mixtures or specific mineral drugs in ancient texts; WHO term for 'Sha' varies, often associated with Realgar or Orpiment depending on context, here listed alongside other minerals. Note: In modern safety standards, these are toxic. For translation purposes, we use standard terms): Realgar (Realgar), Litharge (Lithargyri Oxidum), Chrysocolla Viridis (Chrysocollae Viridis), Radix Polygoni Multiflori Preparata?

Another prescription:
Alumine Calcination (Alumen Ustun) 2 liang, Litharge (Lithargyri Oxidum) 4 liang, Calomel (Calomelas) 3 qian.
Grind extremely finely and rub onto both axillae. Efficacy may be seen after several months of continuous use, with complete cure expected within half a year.
Another prescription: Take one hot steamed wheat cake (Bing). Split it in half. Sprinkle 1 qian of Litharge powder (Lithargyri Oxidum) on one half. Immediately clamp this half between the armpits.
