Sjogrens disease question

This is not a direct answer re a specific acupuncture points, but rather some additional suggestions. I have a number of articles on this site about stress, the relationship between spleen and triple warmer, and some Medical Qigong approaches to balancing the immune system.

Learning the microcosmic orbit is also helpful.

As part of the microcosmic orbit, practitioners are taught to press the tongue on the palate. There&#39s a small indentation behind the teeth. Pressing there with the tongue increases saliva flow.

Autogenic relaxation training is also helpful, as well as tapping T1-T4 points used in Tong Ren for autoimmunity.

As Judith points out, from the Tam Healing/Tong Ren Therapy system, the upper thoracic points are very useful with acupressure, massage, tong ren, etc. for all auto-immune based conditions. So the huatuo of T1 is the bone marrow, T2 is the thymus gland, T3 is the lung/lymph systems - collectively they balance the immune system. For sjogrens, the huatuo of T7, would also be important as it controls any issues involving the blood.

Generally speaking from a Chinese Medicine perspective many patients with auto-immune conditions have underlying Kidney Yin Deficiency. So acupressure on yin balancing points such as KD 6 and LU 7 possibly with SP 10 (cool the blood) would also be helpful.
