Discussion on the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Sjögren's Syndrome Based on YE Gui's Theory of “Upper Dryness Treats Qi and Lower Dryness Treats Blood”
The pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) was considered to involve external dryness, internal injured essence and blood,
yin
-deficiency endowment, and abnormal emotion and spirit, and it was believed that SS has the characteristics of dryness and impassability, and the pathogenesis of deficiency-excess in complexity. According to the theory “upper dryness treats
qi
, and lower dryness treats blood” in YE Gui's monograph “
Medical Records for Clinical Guidance
”, the dryness was divided into upper dryness and lower dryness syndromes to be differentiated and treated. When treating dryness syndrome, the patient should follow the characteristics of the five
zang
organs, using soft and cool medicines, avoiding warm and dry medicines, and valuing the animal products. The upper dryness could be treated with
Sangxiang Decoction
(桑杏汤) to clear the
qi
and moisten the dryness,
Qiaohe Decoction
(翘荷汤) to clear the upper with pungent-cool, and
Shashen Maidong Decoction
(沙参麦冬汤) to nourish yin and promote the production of body fluid. The lower dryness could be treated with
Fumai Decoction
(复脉汤) to enrich and nourish the five kinds of fluid.
Liuwei Dihuang Pill
(六味地黄丸) to nourish the kidneys and supplement essence, and
Wuren Pill
(五仁丸) to moisten the dryness and nourish the blood, which provided a new way of thinking for differentiation of the dryness syndrome.
