  schema:description "Astragalus is a root used in Chinese medicine as a tonic and given in China as an injection alongside chemotherapy. Many studies, mostly of poor design, report less fatigue, nausea and gut toxicity, which is not yet proof. It lowered levels of the transplant drug tacrolimus in one patient and may interact with hormone and blood-thinning treatments."@en ;
