`symmap_herb_symptoms`

Pack: symmap · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/symmap/mcp

Traditional indications of a Traditional Chinese Medicine herb from SymMap v2 (symmap.org): the TCM symptoms (SMTS) and TCM syndromes (SMSY) it is traditionally used for, per the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as curated by SymMap. These are TRADITIONAL-USE records (evidence_tier on every edge), not clinical evidence, and TCM symptoms are kept separate from modern medical symptoms — use symmap_symptom_herbs with system:“modern” to enter from the modern vocabulary.

Parameters

`herb`	string	yes	Herb name in any script or SMHB id
`limit`	number	no	Max symptoms and syndromes returned each, 1-200 (default 50)
