This invention belongs to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine preparation technology, specifically relating to a
traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating
dry mouth in Sjögren'
s syndrome and its preparation method. The
traditional Chinese medicine composition includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 10g
Rehmannia glutinosa, 9g
Scrophularia ningpoensis, 10g
Ophiopogon japonicus, 10g
Fagopyrum dibotrys, 10g
Phragmites communis, 6g
Amomum villosum, and 3g
Bletilla striata. Depending on
clinical diagnosis, other herbs such as
Cornus officinalis,
Trichosanthes kirilowii,
Lophatherum gracile,
Paeonia suffruticosa, and Poria cocos may be selectively added. The preparation method includes two decoctions,
filtration, and combining the filtrates. It is derived from the
Kidney-Nourishing, Heat-Clearing, and Yin-Nourishing Decoction, retaining the core of the Fluid-Increasing Decoction, and adding three
lung /
stomach meridian-invigorating herbs:
Fagopyrum dibotrys,
Phragmites communis, and
Bletilla striata. The core treatment principle is to nourish yin and generate fluids, clear heat and
remove blood stasis, promote tissue regeneration and
wound healing, and harmonize the
spleen and
stomach. Clinical observation shows that it can significantly reduce the VAS
score for
dry mouth in patients with Sjögren'
s syndrome, increase static salivary flow rate, and promote the
recovery of oral mucosal ulcers and angular cheilitis. It has good safety and can be taken orally for overall conditioning or used as a mouthwash to directly target the affected area.
