Sorry you're feeling .

Fo Ti, alternating day by day with ginseng (both are very mild, except the first time with ginseng); or 'cayenne pepper' (careful, very hot, the base of the capsicin in Ben Gay ointment for sore muscles, used sparingly can also soothe a delicate stomach), alternating with cocoa powder (to taste, in a pure vegan mode, have alterative effects comparable to fo ti and ginseng). Sometimes one can find whole cocoa beans in the health food stores. Somewhat bitter, but otherwise with a texture somewhat like peanuts.

I hope you're feeling better. And warmer.
