“Differentiating Five Liquids and Regulating Five Zang-organs” in Treatment of Sjogren’s Syndrome
The author thinks that in the pathogenesis of Sjogren’s syndrome
Yin deficiency is the root and dryness-heat is the branch. The deficiency of Yin in five Zang-organs results in the lack of source of the five fluids
so the blood runs astringently
which means that Zang and Fu-organ differentiation should be paid attention to in clinic.By "differentiating five fluids and regulating five Zang-organs"
Sjogren’ s syndrome can be differentiated into "dryness damaging lung Yin-lung Qi obstruction"syndrome
"dryness damaging spleen and stomach-Yin deficiency and muscle Bi"syndrome
"dryness damaging liver Yin-sinew obstruction"syndrome and "dryness damaging kidney Yin-limb and joint obstruction"syndrome. The author also creates Bushen Qingre Yuyin Tang( Kidney-tonifying Heat-clearing Yin-nourishing Decoction
补肾清热育阴汤) to treat Sjogren’ s syndrome under different syndromes with different modifications. In clinic
the author pays much attention to dispelling pathogenic Qi and easing joint movement. At the same time invigorating blood and unblocking the collaterals are always used during the whole period of treatment.
