Wide awake at 3am in a new time zone, foggy and flat by mid-afternoon — jet lag can rob you of the first precious days of a trip.
If a scrambled body clock follows you across time zones, here are the gentle natural remedies people reach for.
Why jet lag happens
Jet lag is your body clock stuck on home time while the world around you has moved on.
- A lagging body clock, your internal rhythm slow to catch up to the new zone.
- Melatonin out of step, your sleep hormone timed for the wrong hours.
- Travel wear, dehydration and broken sleep adding to the fog.
The short version: jet lag is a body clock stuck on home time, and gentle support helps it resync faster.

Here are the gentle natural picks travellers reach for for jet lag. It is worth reading our guide to Natural Remedies for Stress-Related Tension and Tight Shoulders too.

Simple things that genuinely help
