Detailed Answer:
You are suffering from pjogren's syndrome. It is an autoimmune disorder. Main problems are dry eye and dry mouth. Since autoimmune disorder, steroid should be the common treatment. But keeping in mind the side effects, symptomatic treatment is best option. For dry eye artificial tear is the option. When it does not work sealing punctum is the other option.For dry vagina estrogen as recommended is one option. And lubricating gel also with estrogen preparation may be tried. Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Naturopathy claims a cure. In those there is no side effect so no harm in trying.There is no scientific authenticity. But when all option are closed, so no harm in trying those treatment
