Jet lag is the curse of modern jet travel, resulting in loss of
working efficiency and holiday enjoyment, often for days after arrival.
Jet Ease, a homeopathic remedy, now offers a convenient solution.
It has been tested by counducting a scientific placebo controlled double blind cross over trial,
and is recognised internationally by business travellers, sports teams, tourist operators and airline personnel.
Who suffers from jet lag?
A major US study, by The Upjohn Company in cooperation with United
Airlines and British Airways, showed as many as 94% of long distance travellers
suffer from the effects of jet lag, and 45% consider their symptoms severely
bothersome.
A 1994 survey of flight attendants on international routes showed a similar
picture, with 96% of respondents saying they suffered from jet-lag despite
being accustomed to long-haul travel. Specifically 90% suffered from tiredness
after arrival, 73% from dehydration, 94% experienced lack of energy and
motivation, and 93% reported broken sleep after arrival.
Anecdotal evidence indicates jet lag also makes travellers more susceptible
to colds, flu and stomach upsets.
What causes jet lag?
It hardly seems possible that so many problems could result from merely
travelling in an aircraft, but as the survey of flight attendants shows,
it affects even the professionals. It is worse for passengers, partly
because they are confined in their seats for long periods in flight.
The greatest cause of jet lag is rapid transit across world time zones.
The time difference disrupts our body clock (circadian rhythm). This in
turn affects body temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure and
physiological patterns, leading to disorientation and mental and
physical fatigue.
Altitude and pressure changes at each landing and take-off also upset
body systems, and although airliner cabins are pressurised, these
changes are a significant cause of jet lag.
In addition, sitting still for long periods in flight causes discomfort
and possible swelling of the legs and feet, and the dry atmosphere in
airliner cabins can cause body dehydration.
The effects of jet lag may be made worse by excessive eating and consumption
of alcohol in flight, by loss of sleep, and also by being tired or not
in good condition before the flight, although these are not specifically causes
of jet-lag.
Take Jet Ease and feel fresher after arrival
Jet Ease is specially formulated and scientifically tested to alleviate jet lag. In the
1994 survey of international flight attendants, 75% of respondents said
Jet Ease was either good or very good in countering the effects of jetlag.
An important advantage of Jet Ease is that it contains only homeopathic ingredients.
Jet Ease can be used with all other types of medication.
It can be taken by travellers of all ages.
Like all homeopathic remedies, it is most effective if taken separately
from meals, but this is not essential. It is recognised that long-haul
passengers often sleep for long periods in flight and wake only for
meals and stopovers, so Jet Ease has been formulated
to ensure it will be effective even if taken with meals, including coffee.
It is recommended that in addition to taking Jet Ease, passengers adopt other
sensible measures to help arrive at their destination in the best possible shape.
These include not over-eating in flight, limiting alcohol consumption, drinking
plenty of non-alcoholic fluids (especially water), putting feet up if there is
room, and taking any opportunity in flight or during ground stops to
walk and do stretching exercises. And try to be in good condition before
starting out.
Jet Ease for business, tourism, sport
The dangers of trying to undertake important business engagements while
suffering jet lag are well known. Now with Jet Ease,
business people can step off the plane and attend meetings in much better shape than before.
They no longer need to allow time to rest and re-orient themselves on arrival at a distant destination.
Holiday travellers can now look forward to enjoying every day of their
vacation, and on returning home can step back into their lives without
taking days off to recover from jet lag.
Sports competitors who have traditionally had to allow a week or more to
regain their level of performance after travel can now commence training
immediately and regain their peak much faster.
Among users of Jet Ease are leading sportsmen and women including
Olympic athletes and members of the All Black rugby team, the Kiwi rugby league team. Some team doctors
specifically recommend the use of Jet Ease.
Jet Ease has passed official tests to Olympic standards as being
free from any traces of banned drugs. Jet Ease is listed by the US
Food and Drug Administration for over-the-counter sale in the United States.
Jet Ease comes in the form of pleasant chewable tablets.
It does not need to be taken prior to travel, and does not conflict with other medication.
What users say about Jet Ease
Many users have written to us reporting on their experience with
Jet Ease.
Following are extracts from just a few:
Dr Wayne Morris, team doctor with the New Zealand rugby league team
touring Britain, reported that all members of the team found
Jet Ease to be extremely beneficial and wrote:
"I have no hesitation at all in recommending it to anybody
travelling overseas. It is a superb product. Members of the team were
also drug tested by the Great Britain Sports Drug Testing Agency, and Jet Ease
did not result in any interference with urine drug testing
results."
A travel agent wrote:
"I am delighted to report that we are receiving excellent
feedback from our clients who have tried Jet Ease... Also several of
the staff have tried Jet Ease and highly recommend it."
A Hong Kong businessman:
"My job requires me to travel extensively from Vancouver
where I live to Hong Kong, Moscow, and other European and US cities. You
can imagine the problem I had with jet lag...I have hundreds of associates
who have the same problem. Now that they hear about my experience they
jumped up in the air and ask for Jet Ease."
A tour escort:
"I am an international tour escort and I have had the
pleasure of using Jet Ease tablets. I have been recommending them to
my clients, who are nearly all senior citizens, and they too report
excellent results. Those who did take Jet Ease were definitely more alert on
arrival after our long haul flights."
Directions for Taking Jet Ease
Taking Jet Ease is easy and convenient. Chew one tablet each time your
plane takes off and each time it lands, even if you are not disembarking, to counter the effects of
pressure changes, and one every two hours while flying to counter the effects of long-haul flight.
However, intervals of up to four hours between tablets are acceptable if sleeping in flight.
Jet Ease is best taken separately from meals, but this is not essential.
It can be taken with other types of medication.
Each pack of Jet Ease contains 32 tablets, usually enough for over 50 hours of flying
(equivalent to a round-the-world trip). |
