Foot odour

[xeso G]

Does anyone know what a persistent, strong foot odour can be an indication of? Someone I practice on has this.

Hi Sandra,

It could be a few things first and foremost have you ruled out athletes foot this can be quite smelly.
If they don't have that then if could be either kidney or bowel problems, also if they have IBS this can sometimes cause the feet to be smelly as well.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Thanks Sue

They don't have athletes foot or IBS so perhaps its something to do with the kidneys or bowel. Thanks again.

Strong foot odour could aso indicate something other than bowel or Kidney problems.I also have a client with smelly feet but no indication of athltetes foot or IBS,however after her first treatment where an imbalance was detected in her ureter reflex, after the treatment she urinated several times durng the day.She has had 3 treatments sebsequently with zero congestion in ureter reflex but she has energy blockage in her fallopian tube reflex and has been unsuccessful in becomming pregnant.She also has red spots on the medial side of her foot near lower lumbar,bladder(transverse zone 3) which go dark then dry and flake off eveually after time. Any views on these findings in particular as it relates to fertility?

Also strong foot odour could indicate a low standard of personal hygiene...

Also check what sort of shoes they wear... do they wear trainers without socks.. are their shoes breatheable..

Hi Sebenny. I am still studying, but my tutor mentioned that sometimes persistant foot odour (aside from the obvious culprits, i.e. athlete's foot, bad hygiene, etc) can often be a sign of a hormone imbalance or kidney/bowel issues as mentioned previously. Hope this helps.

I had a client with very cheesy smelling feet and I put this down to the fact that she only drank 2 cups of tea a day and nothing else, I tried to get her to drink water but she was very resistant. I was also told when training that smoking could cause food odour. Sx
