This article is to introduce Professor WANG Xingkuan’ s experience in treating Sjogren syndrome.Prof. WANG holds that Sjogren syndrome onset is mostly due to lack of innate endowment
and also lack of acquired health maintenance
which leads to liver and kidney deficiency
excess of fire caused by insufficiency of water
ministerial fire and sovereign fire exuberance and frenetic movement. Thus signs of dryness( water deficiency without moist and fire hyperactivity cauterization) appear. As for treatment
Prof. WANG advocates that " strengthening governor of water for restraining hyperactivity of Yang"
nourishing yin-essence of liver-kidney
clearing dryness-fire of body
and moistening the dryness of Zang-fu viscera. Moreover
Prof. WANG proposes mainly treating one or two Zang viscera
and also considering regulating other Zang viscera. Lung
spleen and stomach should be regulated at the same time in treatment. Liver-wood conveyance
dispersion and regulation should not be forgotten.
