When it comes to Sjogren's Syndrome, the team of Sukhayu Ayurved has worked hard to pinpoint the ayurvedic diagnosis. This is Udaka Vaha Srotas Dushti! If we look at the classical reference of the same we find the same. 

In this reference, Charaka says that this is the “turbulence” in the Udaka Vaha Srotas. This leads to the dryness of the tongue, palate, lips, and throat along with excessive thirst. This is the thing that has a similar reference to Sjögren’s Syndrome.
