Is there any source in the wilderness one could use for oxygen supplementation?

This is a survival question. If persons were in the wilderness without access to medical equipment and needed oxygen supplementation, is there any source possibly available in the wilderness that would be of some help.

An example of what I am asking is if persons were to hike to a very high altitude, get Acute Mountain Sickness and were unable to come back down to a level with more oxygen in the air, would there be anything such as a plant et.. they could use that would help their oxygen level in the blood or/or lungs.Is there any source in the wilderness one could use for oxygen supplementation?
Only in Sci-Fi, I think
