In Oriental medicine, this is categorized as 'Dryness Syndrome (Jo-jeung)'. It is not simply a lack of water, but a phenomenon that occurs when the body's fluids (Jin-yeok), which keep the body moist, are depleted. In particular, a deficiency of Yin-blood in the liver and kidneys is seen as the core cause, and treatment focuses on replenishing these.

Yes, it is possible. While Western medicine plays the role of supplying moisture from the outside, herbal medicine helps the body generate its own fluids. We recommend gradually reducing dependence on Western medicine as symptoms improve through concurrent treatment.

Due to the nature of autoimmune diseases, the goal is 'remission (a state where symptoms are controlled)' and 'recovery of quality of life' rather than a 'complete cure'. The goal is to control dry mouth and dry eyes to the point where they do not interfere with daily life even without medication, and to manage accompanying chronic fatigue and joint pain.

Since the state of fluid depletion has been long-standing, time is required. Usually, 3 to 4 months are considered the intensive treatment period, and those with severe symptoms or accompanying diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis are advised to maintain consistent management for 6 months to a year or more.

Herbal medicine does not unconditionally increase immunity, but rather establishes 'balance'. The medicinal herbs used for Sjögren's Syndrome have properties that extinguish overheated immune responses (deficient heat) and fill depleted fluids, thereby helping to stabilize the immune system.

Simple dryness occurs due to the surrounding environment or temporary fatigue, but Sjögren's Syndrome is an autoimmune disease caused by immune cells attacking the body's secretory glands. In Oriental medicine, this is seen as 'Dryness Syndrome (Jo-jeung)'. You should suspect it if your eyes remain gritty despite using artificial tears, or if you have difficulty swallowing dry food due to a lack of saliva. In particular, since systemic symptoms such as extreme fatigue, joint pain, and skin purpura often accompany dryness, it is necessary to carefully examine whether the body's ability to produce fluids has decreased.

There is a clear gender difference, with about 90% of Sjögren's Syndrome patients being female, which is closely related to hormonal changes. From an Oriental medicine perspective, middle-aged women are prone to a state of 'Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency (Gan-sin-eum-heo)', where the Yin energy and blood that moisten the body become deficient. Hormonal imbalances occurring during menopause affect the immune system, and the resulting deficient heat dries up the fluids in the body. Therefore, Oriental medicine treatment that fills the depleted Yin-blood, rather than simply supplementing moisture, can provide positive help in alleviating symptoms.
