The long-awaited summer holiday is just around the corner and you have planned a wonderful trip. Please don't let the fear of jet lag dampen your anticipation! Fortunately, there is homeopathy, which can work wonders in this situation.
We can imagine jet lag as a kind of disturbance to the body's internal balance. Restoring that balance and putting things right is exactly what homeopathy does best. And the most important thing is: it does so in a gentle way.
The next time you cross several time zones, the following remedies should not be missing from your hand luggage. Once you know which remedy best matches your symptoms, you can take it every three to four hours in potency 30, and more often for severe symptoms. (More information about potency levels can be found here.)
Arnica
The best remedy for any kind of trauma. You might not immediately think of an injury when it comes to jet lag, but it does indeed shake the body's internal clock thoroughly. Because of the great tiredness, the affected person feels weak and rundown.
Cocculus indicus
A person who would benefit from Cocculus indicus suffers, in addition to extreme jet-lag tiredness, from nausea or dizziness. To avoid vomiting, the affected person needs to lie down. Although very tired, he or she insists that they cannot sleep despite the great fatigue. Fresh air, eating and drinking make the condition worse.
Gelsemium
The main features of the remedy Gelsemium are a feeling of exhaustion and mental grogginess. Extreme weariness also forms part of its picture. For jet lag we can therefore think of this remedy when the tiredness is so great that the person feels paralysed and cannot even get out of bed.
Nux vomica
Think of Nux vomica when the disruption of the internal biorhythm manifests as constipation or other digestive disorders. In this case, jet lag also makes the person irritable and leads to insomnia.
With homeopathic knowledge and the right remedies you can board your flight with confidence. Here is one homeopathic tip before you set off: dissolve a few Nat mur D6 tablets in water and spray your face with it during the flight. Natrium muriaticum is made from sodium chloride – the mineral that regulates the body's fluid balance. This little jewel in your water bottle will help you stay hydrated during the flight. That way you can arrive at your dream destination feeling refreshed and relaxed.
I wish you a pleasant journey. And don't forget your homeopathic travel first-aid kit!
Warm regards,
