Active Ingredient	Uses based on scientific evidence	Grade*
danshen (salvia miltiorrhiza)	although early evidence is promising, it is not known whether danshen is safe for this use. danshen injection may be helpful for recovery of kidney function after kidney transplant. further research is needed to confirm these results.	c
flaxseed and flaxseed oil (linum usitatissimum)	there is a lack of strong evidence available in this area. more research is needed before a firm recommendation can be made.	c
ginseng (american ginseng, asian ginseng, chinese ginseng, korean red ginseng, panax ginseng: panax spp. including p. ginseng c.c. meyer and p. quinquefolius l., excluding eleutherococcus senticosus)	a combination of herbs that included ginseng was not better than treatment with a conventional medicine plus traditional chinese medicine. more research is needed in this area because the effects of ginseng alone are unknown.	c
