I cycle toured in Peru in the late 80s and I was handed leaves to chew at the airport, and all along the journey.
Wish I could get those here, would certainly make a night out fishing go with a fizz.
I bought some from horticulturist's assistant when i was in Sri Lanka.It was on one of the tours and i spotted it.A quick chat to the fellow,a few rupees changed hands and i came away with enough for a fortnight
Not altitude problems of course
but they do more than that and are good for a range of things. Add about 5 to some hot water and let sit for a bit.Much like Chinese tea.
Strangely enough i was the only one in our party that wasnt running to the toilet every half hour
