Was wondering if anyone had diagnosed themselves with histamine intolerance and if they tried eliminating high histamine foods from their diet or tried DAO with any success. I seem to have had lots of environmental allergies all my life and also food allergies but nothing conclusive other than sugar, gluten and tomato sauces.

Avoid Homogenized Milk
Posted by Praveen T. (India) on 11/09/2021

I am 59+ but very frequently suffer from Diarrhea. I have been told after stool tests that I am allergic to milk products. I always avoid milk products (except curd). But, whenever, I dine out, I am always caught by Diarrhea. Kindly suggest some permanent natural remedies.

Thanks and regards

Leaky Gut Diet, Probiotics

Hi Lori,

What kind of Aloe vera juice did you use? Was it in a bottle or did you buy raw from the store? And where do you get that temperature with all that stuff in it and how do you drink it? Thank you

Good for you Lori! Could you share the name of the test and where it can be ordered?

Also, how much L-glutamine powder did you take each time with the aloe juice? Thank you!


Leaky Gut Diet, Probiotics

At one time in my life, I was allergic to many, many foods. I had a painful, unsightly rash from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. It was so painful that I ended up bedridden. I finally learned that most food allergies are a symptom of leaky gut. I addressed my leaky gut by avoiding the foods causing the allergic response via a test then took high quality probiotics every morning on an empty stomach, drank Glutamine powder dissolved in aloe juice 3x/ day, drank bone broth every day, took digestive enzymes every time I ate and ate whole, cooked foods.

Today I am fully healed and have no food allergies. If I start to get any symptoms of leaky gut, I begin that regimen immediately and it goes away. Today, I also include a tincture of marshmallow root, slippery elm, reishi, turkey tail, and lions mane mushroom.

Thank you for this, it confirms my suspicions all together that whenever I eat or drink something that dehydrates like coffee, alcohol etc. I get the hives! It's great to be reminded of the simple things too often taken for granted.

Eliminating Wheat

(In reply to Bill's posting of 13th October 2018)

Sorry for the tardy reply Bill but I have been away from my computer for a while.

Thank you so very much for your detailed information on tackling Gluten mal-absorption problems. We are very grateful to you and will implement your suggestions ASAP.

Fortuitously, we were already taking the sea salt and have been doing so for a considerable while now. It apparently has vastly more minerals (forty three in total from memory). I was told that ordinary "table" salt has two plus added iodine! ).

I have to admit that most of what you wrote was new to me so thanks again. Heal the gut and a lot of other issues will fall into line as it were!

I hope a lot of people will take notes of what you wrote, I think this problem is widespread, insidious and pernicious these days.

Cheers and all the best to you,

Michael

Hi Michael...It is certainly possible to heal or overcome gluten problems. I say this because not everyone has problems eating wheat products containing gluten -- so there has to be a cause. As far as I can determine, gluten problems tend to arise because of a poor diet over a long period of time.

What I'm saying is that you should be able to cure your own gluten problems so that you can eat wheat gluten products without problems.

Dr Joel Wallach has a very simple way of curing gluten problems. Eat more natural salt (sea salt, rock salt -- not refined salt). Doing this provides the raw material -- sodium chloride + 60 essential trace minerals -- to help the stomach epithelial cells to produce adequate amounts of hydrochloric acid to set the right acid pH stomach environment so that the pepsin enzyme can do its job properly digesting the gluten.

When you eat food and it goes to the stomach the stomach acid must be at the right acidity for the local pepsin enzyme to work. The pepsin enzyme is essential for properly digesting the gluten(a protein). So if your stomach acid production is too low(not at the correct acid pH) then the pepsin enzyme cannot activate and do its job properly digesting the gluten. The result is that partially digested gluten enters the duodenum, and the partially digested gluten proteins are then absorbed into the blood from the intestines. The white blood cells immediately identify these gluten proteins as foreign protein bodies -- the enemy !! -- and attack them, resulting in a rise in the histamine levels and an allergic reaction.

So the two simple things your should supplement are natural salt(sea salt) with every meal and you should also drink Gymnema sylvestre tea(GS) 3 times a day.

The GS tea acts to reduce the porosity of the intestinal walls which helps to ensure that partially digested rogue gluten proteins are not transferred into the blood causing allergic reactions.

Here's some research on GS's many healing effects:

https://www.ingentaconnect.com/contentone/govi/pharmaz/2003/00000058/00000001/art00001?crawler=true

I would also take B50 complex once a day with food as well since all the B vitamins -- particularly B12, niacin and B6 -- are essential for proper digestion.

Hi there Char of Texas,

Thanks for the feedback on the Wheat issue(s).

Yup, my wife is still avoiding wheat AND gluten as much as possible but recently has introduced the occasional bread sandwich with the aim of not eliminating all the gluten feeders from her intestines entirely. Her stomach problems are significantly reduced from doing this one thing alone (reducing). First you have to be strict and then you can slowly re-introduce bits. We were surprised to learn of the amount of gluten that is ADDED to baking products generally.

Bread consumption is a "great" way to put on weight for most people it would seem.

Cheers,

Michael

I was diagnosed with RA about 10 years ago, and fortunately found this site, after I refused to take the medicine prescribed by the Doctor which would have damaged my kidneys. liver and bone marrow. I eliminated nightshades from my diet completely and stared taking ACV and honey 2 teaspoons each mixed with a little water hot or cold, it doesn't matter, 3 times a day, within one week almost all of my symptoms disappeared, from then on, I still don't eat nightshades, (tomatoes, Peppers, or eggplant) and only have to take the mixture when needed. Thank god! I also have found that Gin occasionally makes my hands hurt. Juniper berries. But when ever I do I immediately go to the ACV and honey and it's gone within 24 hours!

Thank you Tina for those very useful insights.

Yes, things to do with our health are sometimes more complicated than we think and we should always do extra research beyond the obvious. However, I think we sometimes lose sight of taking some simple steps to alter our lifestyle and gain significant health improvements.

Dr. Mercola is very interesting to watch and more people should learn from him. I enjoy his approach and humour also.

My Wife is still benefiting from having given up Wheat and we are just so grateful but now she is back to buzzing around the place with more energy than I have! Sore stomach no longer holding her back.

Thanks again. Michael

Hi Michael,

Have you read Eat Wheat by Dr. John Douillard? Whereas the prevailing wisdom is to avoid grain and dairy ( bestselling books like Grain Brain have masterfully outlined that) Dr. Douillard turns that theory on its head. He says it's not wheat or dairy that's the problem, and that avoiding them only helps temporarily. Instead, he pinpoints feeble, sickened lymphatic and digestive systems as the real culprits.

His solution? In short: to heal the GI tract, (basically using a blend of Ayurvedic methods and modern techniques) which will lead to digesting wheat and dairy. His clinic in Colorado has helped many people to not only go back to eating these forbidden foods but, on the way, also get rid of a host of ailments as well. I think there is a lot of merit to his approach. His suggestions are practical and logically explained. It goes without saying of course that dairy has to come from grass fed cows and grain has to be GMO free. In fact, it's eating those kinds of tainted food that weakened our systems in the first place. There is a fascinating interview by Dr.Mercola on YouTube with Dr. Douillard that led me to ordering the book. I watched that interview during our last snowstorm and am reading his book during the current one! All the best! I enjoy your and ORH's entertaining stories! And love MTM's gentle, humorous wisdom.

Hello there! It's hot "Down Under" at the moment but it's probably cold where you are!!?? I trust you are well? Maybe not if you are on this Site! Oh dear.

Currently my wife is experiencing great results from having given up WHEAT products about three weeks ago. Her constant stomach problems seem to have disappeared about a week ago: Magical! I am hoping that her health improves even more on several fronts of course. It distresses me to see (and hear) her suffering. She is pretty difficult to convince but she read the Book by the Expert and she can be pretty determined when she sets her mind to something. No, that should be DETERMINED!

I decided to join her for moral support and to ease the load in the kitchen (and also to stop being bullied) but I have to admit that I hope this will ease my joint problems also. Wouldn't that be nice? We are not talking Gluten Free but rather Wheat Free. We have, at various times, tried all the Frees I think: Meat Free, Dairy Free, Nightshade Free, Smoke Free, Alcohol Free, Carb. Free, Gluten Free, Having a Good Time Free, but not Coffee Free just yet a while. I am postponing that one and have kicked it into touch as being in the "Last Resort Category" and yes, I know it is very acidic, but we have cut down to one per day except when I cheat. We will be going about in Sack Cloth and Ashes before long at this rate - eating nuts and berries and lettuce leaves.

I am sure you will be as fascinated by this startling revelation as I am and I will endeavour to keep you posted on our progress if we survive.

Gosh I miss my bread.

Super,

Michael

NAET
Posted by Catlyn (Washington) on 08/21/2016

I've been going to a NAET practitioner off and on for years. When I first started, it was to deal with headaches, especially migraines. I reacted to almost everything she tested and treated me for. I went a lot at first, and now I usually only get mild headaches occasionally, and the last time I had a migraine was a couple years ago. I occasionally go back when something flares up. One interesting thing, she treated me for altitude problems years ago, and I just recently took the train trip up to the top of Pike's Peak (over 14,000 feet). I felt a little light headed at the top (most people do) but no problem at all at the 6200-foot elevation at the bottom. Also, flying didn't leave me with vertigo this trip. The practitioner has treated me for that in the past.


Avoid Homogenized Milk
Posted by Mama To Many (Tennessee) on 08/05/2016

My son seemed to have a cough after a cold that lingered a long time. He was wondering if dairy was causing or aggravating him trouble. He started to avoid dairy and it did seem that having dairy would make his cough worse. This isn't really too surprising as dairy does seem to be mucous forming.

Interestingly, he recently bought a gallon of milk that was pasteurized but was NOT homogenized and that milk did not seem to cause him to cough.

I remember once someone telling me that homogenizing milk did something to it that made it more likely to cause allergies. That may be the case for my son.

I think that oftentimes when there is a food that appears to cause on allergy, it may not be the actual food but rather the processing that goes into it, the chemicals that have been sprayed onto it, or the chemicals that accompany the food when it is prepared.

Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear)
Posted by Tom (Livingston, Tx) on 05/22/2016 64 posts

For years I had itching forearms and ankles after eating any meal. I started taking two 650 mg capsules of nopal cactus after or with each meal.

The itching was gone within a week, and that was probably ten years ago.

I continue to take 1 nopal capsule mornings. Nopal has betalains, which are anti-inflammatory.

One woman had psoriasis on the left side of her face, making it look like raw hamburger. She drank a reddish drink made from the nopal fruit and her face cleared up to look normal. This was supported by before and after photos.

That is how I got the idea to take nopal leaf capsules for my probable psoriasis or itching skin. The capsules are available at most or numerous online supplement websites.


Baking Soda

Have you ever eaten pineapple, kiwi fruit, etc. and ended up with a burning feeling in your mouth? I know I have! One of my daughters cannot eat pineapple because of this.

This afternoon my other daughter at a piece of bread with jelly on it. It was an all natural berry jelly. Immediately afterwards her mouth was bothering her - itching and burning.

I suggested she try baking soda. I actually have a bottle of sodium bicarbonate tablets, which can be pretty handy at times. I had her hold one in her mouth for about a minute.

Her mouth was soothed almost immediately and she had no further symptoms all evening.

I looked around online and found this is called, "Oral Allergy Syndrome." Who knew?

It does seem like a mild allergic reaction. Glad that baking soda is a quick fix, at least for us this time around.

Nettle

Hi!

We were visiting friends when the husband had this severe itching in his hands. Apparently it happens every so often. A food diary has been kept because it seems to be in response to having eating something but no clear connections have been made. Anyway, I suggested Nettle Tea. So he drank a large mug full of Nettle tea (with a little peppermint for flavor.) In 20 minutes or so, his intense itching was improving. After a while he had no more symptoms.

What is amazing to me is that we have seen nettle work for such a variety of allergic reactions to a variety of things. Nettle is really amazing and a safe herb even for children.

Eliminating Carbonated Beverages

It didn't matter if it was diet coke, coke, diet sprite, sprite, sparkling water, etc. They all made my scalp, back, arms, face, just about anywhere on my body burn. Soda made my skin feel dry and burn like it was on fire. At times my skin turned so red I looked like I had a sunburn. My dr's thought I had eczema. He said that allergies can bring on eczema. When I washed and combed my hair it would come out like crazy. Lots of breakage. I lost hair everywhere on my body. My allergist said it was from the carbonation (co2). So anything that has carbonation in it I avoid. When I stopped the soda my skin stopped burning within 1 day. My hair loss and breakage also stopped just as fast. My skin is back to normal too. I hope my experience can help someone. My heart goes out to all of you.


NAET

★☆☆☆☆

NAET did absolutely nothing for my allergies. It's expensive and completely not worth it in my opinion. While waiting in my practicioner's office, I noticed young kids with welts all over their hands and faces. When I spoke to the mother's of these children, told told me that these kids had been here doing NAET for several months to years. I had tried it a few times, but high tailed out of there when I saw that. NAET is expensive, and for me, definitely 100% not worth it!

It may even be against your religion, depending on what it is you practice.

We started our daughter recently on NAET. She's cleared the first 3 in 4 sessions. I will say we've already noticed a marked improvement in behavior (She's 3). Now sometimes right after the treatment she gets wild or unusually energetic. Often more emotional than normal. We aren't far enough along to say she's kicked the allergies but it's definitely affecting her. Now I did talk to a friend who put their kids through it and they say it did cure their allergies.


NAET
Posted by Alison (Gainesville, Florida, Florida) on 06/11/2013

I had over 40 food allergies documented by the allergist, and some were going to kill me eventually. NAET worked for me, usually in one treatment. Eggs took 5, and a few took 2.

In my case, I had to identify the reason I developed so many allergies. Turns out excessive Cadmium will cause intestinal reactions that cause allergies. A simple $125 hair analysis may be in order.

Oh, and not everybody that does NAET understands it and does it right. I'd recommend Chinese medicine pros over chiropractors.

I have overcome ALL my allergies to food, water, air, clothes, and nature by reading the work of DR. Batmanghelidj and coming to understand that histamine is a dehydration signal to warn the body. I can eat anything I want as long as I drink the right amount of water at the right time and take supplemental mulit minerals (especially magnesium and very LITTLE calcium) multi vitamins and omegas and betafood with coconut oil and yogurt and sea salt, garlic, cranberry, papaya tablets when needed.

I enjoy my food without the fear of midnight panics brought on by stomach issues and no longer do I have to fear anxiety from allergies... I am Free. Been a L.O.N.G..... J.O.U.R.N.E.Y. To wellness. I AM FREE!

Hi Thealth, I have been doing NAET with my acupuncturist for about a year and a half. I originally started with over 25 food intolerances. Now, I am down to 9. There are some intolerances that have come back such as dairy and gluten, so I will have to avoid these for life, but many have been resolved, the healthy food choices like veggies and fruits have stayed resolved. I continue to search this site in order to strenghten my body. Thank you Earth Clinic for this forum for all of us to share our successes and help each other.

Growing up I had always been allergic to wheat, milk, soy and nuts. To this day, it took almost 1 year and I cured my wheat, milk and soy allergies. My peanut, coconut and nut allergies are going away, declining. Here are methods I used... Not sure exactly which one cured it, might have been a combination but these are what I tried that made them go away.

1. In the summer of 2011 when I was still allergic to these things, one of the things I did around June 2011 was go Flouride Free. Meaning I stopped using flouride toothpaste and that is it. I still am and will never go back. Its poison to the body.

2. I also went Gluten Free in the summer of 2011. I stopped eating wheat. When I would eat whole wheat, my throat would start to feel like it was closing, irritated. I had to take benedryl. Refined bread, I tolerated more, but still felt so bad after. I think I might have had a gluten allergy then because oats and barley irritated me too. But I never had celiac as my testes showed, but I had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and that is gone today! Though I was a kid, didn't know what to do, as refined white flour was in everything. At the time I didn't know what gluten free was or it existed. Today I eat soy without problems, like chinese food. Wheat I will introduce it by starting with a little and working up this summer. But I think gluten free is the way to go, and is much healthier. Oats are great too, I can enjoy it fully now.

3. Drinking green smoothies. I introduced green smoothies in 2010 while in college, I think it may have helped, but I think going flouride free was the trick, as my dna was able to heal and repair itself. I once thought I would never get over my allergies, especially being in college. I thought it was too late for my body to get over my allergies. But being flouride free must have repaired my system. Though I didn't drink it regularly. Maybe for around three months in 2011, Jan, Feb, Mar then stopped because I got busy with school work.

4. In the Summer and Fall of 2010, I went for Health Kinesiology sessions to cure my allergies. Where a practicioner "treated" me for my allergies by putting the allergens in a vial on my stomach and made me strong to these allergens. Because I couldn't afford like 10 sessions, I went to a total of about 6 sessions from different practicioners. One close to home and another close to school. Don't know if this contributed to my healing as I was still allergic to my allergens when I took a blood work in the summer of 2011.

5. Doing a three day apple diet in the summer of 2011. My acne and eczema healed so fast within 3 days. Im not sure if these were contributing factors. I did the diet around three times every two weeks, which I know is bad. After doing these diets, I warn people - I got dehydrated I think and suffered from severe panic attacks where I felt I couldn't breathe and when going out in the sun, I felt as if I would collapse and die. Today I suffer from less panic attacks but they are not totally gone. Not sure if these were real events or beginnings of panic attacks for me. So people don't attempt this detox diet. I'd cancel this one out, its kinda dangerous, especially if done more than once a year. Its the Edgar apple detox. I drank alkaline water for 3 days with this diet and eat raw garlic to kill candida.

For coconut, peanuts allergies:

6. How I got my coconut and peanut allergies to decrease was to listen to the 528 DNA repair solfieggio frequencies every night before bed from FEb 2012 to April 2012. April is when I did my allergy test again to see my nut allergies were all going away - peanuts, coconuts, all tree nuts. I will resume listening to the frequencies and maybe this time one with binarual frequencies, heard it works even better, but after studying for my GREs. The music I originally listened to was from youtube. You can email me if you want a 60 minute binaural version.

I really hope that these methods, forget the detox works for you. I'd go with the flouride and gluten free for one year. Anyone else have stories? I hope to hear them similar to mine. Peace and love to all!

Hi, Let me start by saying thank you to all and for this wonderful site and all the good posts.

My daughter 6 years old has lot of food allergies. She is anaphylactic to nuts, eggs and different foods. Recently we started with NAET treatment and have seen some positive response. So far we have completed only 5 basic treatment as they are 10 more to complete. After that the NAET doctor says he will focused on the anaphylaxis ones like egg, nuts etc one completing the 15 basic ones and once she has more immunity.

My daughter used to scratch a lot but after the NAET doctor did some magic ( I think he has some Chinese/Korean) device which he was holding and said something and suddenly she stopped scratching. I am really impressed.

I want to know whether anyone has gone through NAET treatment and had any positive response. Please let me know. Do NAET cure food allergies completely.

Thank you.

I've been looking for a cure for a food allergy I seemed to have come across. I read several of the ailments and cures when I found this one..... I thought why not give it a try because I had acidophilus in the house...... I had had a very bad reaction to a certain food and I was trying to reverse it with allergy medicine (very slowly).

When I woke up this morning my left eye was almost swollen shut.... Well I started taking the acidophilus after reading this comment and within 2 hours almost all the swelling was gone from my face. I am so thankful to God for this info. Thank you so much for putting it on this website. I feel so much better already!!

Ted's Remedy for seasonal/food allergies and asthma absolutely worked for my ten year-old son!

At five years old, he began to get seasonal allergies in the spring. Next came a few food allergies. Each year, the hayfever became progressively worse until, two years ago, it turned into full blown asthma. Worse still, he became alergic to wheat (but NOT the gluten... the wheat itself), all corn and corn by-products, mushrooms, shellfish (not the iodine, but the shellfish itself), all nuts and seeds and their respective oils, and on and on.

In desperation, I tried Ted's remedy for seasonal allergies, as I did NOT want my son to stay on all those steroids each spring. I noticed that Ted kept talking about excess copper and the need for zinc. So, I looked down the long list of my son's food allergies and compared it to a list of taboo foods for people with Wilson's Disease, a disorder that prevents affected people from processing copper at all. Lo and behold... My son's food allergies had one thing in common; they were all foods loaded with copper. So, I began Ted's remedy and, I swear, within three days my son woke up in the morning and didn't wheeze or need a single pill or inhaler ever again. Interesting to note, however, as soon as I thought it was "safe" to take him off the remedy, all his symptoms came back the next day. Thus, I continue to give him the suppliments and he is doing amazingly well. Oh, and his food allergies after 12 months....gone!!!!!

Here is the protocol that I continue to follow:

I mix into a glass of juice EVERY MORNING: 1,000 mg powdered Sodium Ascorbate, 3 drops liquid vitamin D3 (1,000mg), 2 drops liquid molybdenum (50 mcg). He can't taste a bit of it in the juice, so there are no complaints.

With breakfast, he takes 25mg zinc gluconate every day.

TWICE A WEEK he takes 100mcg selenium (L-selenomethionine) with the zinc in the morning. I give it on Saturdays and and Wednesdays, because its easy for me to remember.

After school, when his stomach is empty, I give him 10 mg manganese gluconate with a bottled water, because Ted says this should be taken alone.

Three times a week, at dinner, I give him a "raw" B-complex, as several of the B-vitamins are aparently needed to aid the other supplements. Plus, I mix an additional 1, 000 mg of powdered sodium ascorbate into whatever he is drinking at dinnertime.

My son's pediatrician, who is open to alternative treatments, was so shocked at the allergy blood results, not to mention the vanishing asthma, that he wrote all of this down to try on other young patients!

Treat the Liver
Posted by Bill (San Fernando, San Fernando, Philippines) on 03/28/2011

Hi Cindy... The best diet is simply an elimination diet which essentially eliminates all the dangerous elements from processed or man-made foods and is the same as the anti-candida diet shown in this EC comment stream here :

www.earthclinic.com/cures/mystery-diagnosis.html

My own health maintenance protocol -- always preventative -- also assumes that you will never realistically be able to avoid processed or man-made foods. After all, in order to stick to such a regimen would mean not going out to parties, not eating in restaurants, not drinking a little wine or coffee with friends now and then -- and what about holidays? I regard this avoid-everything-bad-at-all-costs as a little excessive and extreme in my opinion and not very realistic because I like going out socialising and having fun occasionally. So, unless you are suffering from a major problem like liver problems, heart problems, candida or IBS or Fibromyalgia or arthritis, which does call for a much more intense daily approach and a stricter diet, then my way is simply to adopt a preventative maintenance approach so that you can enjoy your life a wee bit.

So this is why I continually detox my own body on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. My regimen now is much less intense and I've become much more aware of my own body state since ridding myself of candida. I usually take a decoction of Chanca Piedra, Heart Vine(Tinospora cordifolia), Neem leaves and Tumeric Root once a month for about 7 days only. This washes my kidneys, helps revive my liver and intestines as well as helping to rid my body of any excess calcium and acid build-up. I alkalize fairly regularly using Ted's lemon/lime remedy mainly, normally on a daily basis now. I regularly take vitamins and minerals in the form of dessicated liver and fulvic acid as my nutrient baseline. I avoid taking tablets supplements where possible. I also regularly take large dose lugol's Iodine(removes fluoride and bromide as well as all its many other benefits) as well as large dose Magnesium and Vit C(Ascorbate) because not only are these specific nutrients sadly lacking in all western diets, the RDA recommended for these supplements is, in my opinion, way to small as to be almost laughable against all the evidence that's already out there. I also use borax and Hydrogen Peroxide remedies when I have to and regularly use Ted's recommended topical and oral remedies as well. I also keep Methylene Blue, Aspirin and Lysine handy in case I get flu or a cold or some other nasty bug.

So therefore my health maintenance method is almost wholly preventative but not that intense. I continually supplement to supply those vitamins and minerals that I think I am not getting from my food. I also regularly detox heavy metals using sodium thiosulphate or through diet using green tea, cilantro or chlorella. All this has simply become a habit with me now.

I am currently trying something called Chyawanprash -- a complete and all-round Ayurvedic herbal food supplement that contains over 30-40 important Indian herbs(the herbal formula does vary depending on what make you buy) based on an ancient and famous Indian herbal recipe. The Ayurvedic healing system cleverly makes some of its important herbal concoctions completely naturally(no modern preservatives or additives) into food forms that are actually quite tasty -- and by the way, Chyawanprash is delicious -- you can take it with bread or crackers as a spread or simply take two teaspoonfuls a day and it is packed with nutrients. Chyawanprash is a well known herbal rejuvenator in Indian Ayurvedic medicine and contains some very active and important healing herbs like Boerhaavia diffusa(liver, allergies), Indian Myrrh Tree Bark(intestines, parasites), Silver (anti-pathogenic), Indian Gooseberry(high Vit C), Ashwaganda(all round adaptogen -- Indian ginseng), Sida cordifolia(adaptogen, energizing), Black Pepper(for lungs and as an absorbtion synergist), Asparagus(alkaline, acts against arthritis and cancer), Cinnamon(Intestinal protective), Terminalia chebula(anti-ulcer), Tinospora cordifolia(all round adaptogen, liver and kidneys), Tribulus terrestris(libido, sexual organs), Chanca piedra(all round adaptogen, antiviral, liver and kidneys) and there are many more herbs as well.

Chyawanprash is also fairly cheap, you can find it at any Indian grocery or deli because it is an ancient and well-known herbal rejuventor that is still widely used and trusted by the Indian community.
