What to do for Autoimmune condition Sjogren - #26413

hello Mrs. shah, Your symptoms dry eyes, dry mouth, body aches, and fatigue strongly resemble Sjögren's Syndrome, even if it's not yet confirmed in reports. It is common for autoimmune diseases like Sjögren's to take time to show positive in blood tests, especially in early stages. Still, your body is clearly indicating systemic dryness (rukshata) and vata-pitta aggravation along with probable immune dysregulation. Explanation (in simple terms): Your body's internal moisture like tears and saliva is drying up. This leads to friction in the joints (causing pain), weakness, and a tired feeling. It's like your internal "oil" has reduced. The dryness is due to imbalance of Vata dosha (which causes drying and degeneration) and Pitta (which increases heat and inflammation). Even if lab reports are not fully conclusive, Ayurveda treats based on symptoms and imbalance, not just diagnosis labels. Investigations to be Confirmed/Repeated if not done recently: ANA (Antinuclear antibody) Anti-Ro/SSA & Anti-La/SSB antibodies ESR, CRP (for inflammation) Schirmer’s Test (eye moisture) Vitamin D, B12 levels Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4 – autoimmune links) Treatment Plan Ama Pachana (Detox & Agni Deepana – 5 days) Shunthi Churna (Dry ginger powder) – ¼ tsp with warm water before meals – twice a day Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp after meals – once a day Warm water sip every hour + light diet (moong soup, rice gruel, pomegranate) Internal Medications Rasnadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water – twice daily before food Ksheerabala 101 (Capsule or Avarti) – 1 cap twice a day after food Ashwagandha Arishtam – 15 ml with equal water after meals – twice daily Gandharvahastadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water at bedtime – supports gut and joint function External Treatments (if accessible): Abhyanga (oil massage) with Balaashwagandhadi Taila – daily or alternate days Swedana (mild steam) to body after oil massage Anjana for dry eyes with Saptamrita Lauha powder mixed in honey – under doctor’s supervision Strictly avoid cold, dry, and raw foods Add ghee in diet – 1 tsp daily Avoid fasting, spicy, or overly salty food Gentle yoga and breathing – 10 mins daily (focus on balance and calm) Do your symptoms worsen in the evening or at night? Have you had recurrent mouth ulcers or dental issues along with dryness? This condition can be managed effectively through Ayurvedic support by nourishing the tissues, reducing dryness, and calming immune overactivity. Results may not be instant, but gradual consistency can bring significant improvement. Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
