Jet-lag: Homeopathic medicines by symptom

The following remedies are commonly recommended by homeopathic practitioners such as Dr. K.S. Gopi and Dr. Kjetill Oftedal for jet-lag related complaints.

Jet-lag with body-ache

Arnica montana 30 is a leading choice when exhaustion and aching muscles dominate the picture. Typical indications include limbs and body that ache “as if beaten,” joints that feel sprained, inability to sleep because the bed feels uncomfortable, and a profound sense of prostration. Other accompanying complaints may include disordered stomach with offensive belching and occasional diarrhea. Arnica is often used before and after long flights—repeat every 4 hours during travel, and again if the flight exceeds four hours.

Jet-lag with insomnia

Cocculus indicus 30 is useful when the traveller feels as if still in motion and cannot sleep. Indications include sleeplessness from mental and physical exhaustion, dizziness or vertigo with nausea, and fatigue caused by lack of sleep. Typical travel dosing is every 4 hours, repeating if the journey is prolonged.

Jet-lag with fatigue / heavy-eyelids

Gelsemium 30 suits a jet-lag picture of paralysis-like dullness: marked drowsiness, trembling, heaviness of the eyelids, muscle weakness and aching, and a flu-like sense of malaise. There is often no thirst and the patient drifts off despite attempts to stay awake. Usual travel dosing is once every 4 hours, repeating for longer flights.

For best results, match the remedy to the symptom picture or consult your homeopathic physician for personalised advice.
