Relieve Discomfort and Support Your Immune System Naturally
Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the glands that produce moisture, leading to chronic dryness—most often in the eyes and mouth. It can also cause fatigue, joint pain, and complications affecting the lungs, kidneys, or nervous system. At Azena Health and Longevity, we offer a functional medicine approach to Sjogren’s syndrome treatment that aims to calm the immune response and restore comfort and vitality.
Common Symptoms of Sjogren’s Syndrome
Symptoms may develop gradually and vary in severity. Many patients experience:
- Dry eyes (burning, itching, or feeling like sand in the eyes)
- Dry mouth and difficulty swallowing or speaking
- Swollen salivary glands
- Persistent fatigue or low energy
- Joint pain or stiffness
- Dry skin, nose, or throat
- Dental decay or oral discomfort due to lack of saliva
What Triggers Sjogren’s Syndrome?
While the exact cause is unclear, several internal and environmental factors can contribute to the development and progression of this autoimmune disorder:
- Immune system imbalances and chronic inflammation
- Hormonal shifts, particularly during midlife
- Gut health issues such as leaky gut or dysbiosis
- Exposure to viruses or environmental toxins
- Genetic predisposition to autoimmunity
- Nutrient deficiencies (e.g., vitamin D, omega-3s)
