Let $ABC$ be a triangle and it has an interior point $P$ inside. Show that: $$BC\cdot BP\cdot CP + CA\cdot CP\cdot AP + AB\cdot AP\cdot BP\geq AB\cdot BC\cdot CA$$

If can, how?

Or does the triangle need specific conditions to match such inequality?

Let $P$ it's an origin, $A(a)$, $B(b)$ and $C(c)$ in the Gauss plane.

Thus, $$\frac{AP\cdot BP}{AC\cdot BC}+\frac{AP\cdot CP}{AB\cdot BC}+\frac{BP\cdot CP}{AB\cdot AC}=$$ $$=\left|\frac{ab}{(c-a)(b-c)}\right|+\left|\frac{ca}{(a-b)(b-c)}\right|+\left|\frac{bc}{(a-b)(c-a)}\right|\geq$$ $$\geq\left|\frac{ab}{(c-a)(b-c)}+\frac{ca}{(a-b)(b-c)}+\frac{bc}{(a-b)(c-a)}\right|=|-1|=1$$ and we are done!
