`symmap_symptom_herbs`

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

Herbs traditionally associated with a symptom in SymMap v2 (symmap.org). system:“tcm” looks up a Traditional Chinese Medicine symptom (SMTS) directly; system:“modern” starts from a modern medical symptom (SMMS), returns its curated TCM-symptom crosswalk, then the herbs per mapped TCM symptom — the two vocabularies and the mapping hop stay explicit, never merged. Every hop carries evidence_tier; a traditional-use association is not evidence of effectiveness.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`symptom`	string	yes	Symptom name — TCM (e.g. 痹痛 / “Bi Tong”) for system:“tcm”, modern medical (e.g. “insomnia”, “Arthritic Pains”) for system:“modern”
`system`	string	yes	Which symptom vocabulary the name belongs to. They are distinct in SymMap; this tool never merges them.
`limit`	number	no	Max herbs returned per symptom, 1-100 (default 25)
