Abstract:Sj?觟gren syndrome is a common clinical rheumatic immune disease, which can lead to multi-system damage in addition to exocrine gland damage, seriously affecting patientsem damacal and mental health and quality of life. Modern medicine shows no specific therapeutic drugs for this disease, while Chinese medicine provides a reliable cure. This disease, which comes under the category of “zaobi” in Chinese medicine, characterized by pathologically insidious and severe onset, and clinically prolonged course, increasingly severer condition, and not responding to treatment, matches “latent toxin” in the pathogenic characteristics. Based on years of clinical experience, Professor Liu Ying concludes that the key pathogenic factor of this disease is “hidden toxicity due to vital qi deficiency”, and proposes the treatment method of “clearing dryness to relieve toxins, resolving stasis to remove toxins, and nourishing yin to benefit qi”. This method focuses on “regulation of body and spirit together” and the combination of regulation and nourishment in the treatment. In the meantime, removing toxins and reinforcing vital qi have their own emphasis in different stages of the disease. All of these combine to reflect the concept of “people-oriented” in Chinese medicine. This paper is intended to elaborate the treatment experience of the “theory of latent toxin” on Sj?觟gren syndrome in order to broaden our mind on the treatment of this disease.
