Other methods
For centuries, indigenous cultures of the Altiplano, such as the Aymaras, have used coca leaves to treat mild altitude sickness. Drinking plenty of water will also help in acclimatisation to replace the fluids lost through heavier breathing in the thin, dry air found at altitude, although consuming excessive quantities ("over-hydration") has no benefits.

Many people that travel in South America to visit Machu Picchu take Mate de Coca or coca tea to deal with the altitude sickness before it happens. You can pick up a box of Mate de Coca off of Amazon.com
