The chief mechanisms of TCM treatment aims to nourish deficiencies, overcome obstructions and drain excess.
With Sjogren's syndromes, anti aging & anti inflammatory herbs are formulated to -
1 - nourish yin deficiencies of the liver and kidneys, enhance immune system with leukocyte phagocytosis promoters & triterpenes regulating white blood cell counts to deal with most symptoms onset & flareups
2 - overcome obstructions of the collaterals due to blood stagnation that affects central qi (functional energy flow) thereby causing weakness of the spleen & stomach functions
3 - drain excess liver fire that causes imbalance of the kidney yin; the kidney being the storehouse of essence (jing)
Depletion of jing is the main reason for fluid depletion. (Refer to September blog on Perspectives on Emotions & Health) for info on jing/ essence.
