Combating jetlag naturally, with aromatherapy.

When traveling across a number of time zones, the body clock goes out of sync with the destination time, and so it experiences daylight and darkness contrary to the rhythms it has grown accustomed to. The body's natural pattern therefore becomes upset as the rhythms which dictate when you should eat and sleep no longer correspond to the environment of your destination. This is where aromatherapy can help.

Jet lag occurs because the body cannot automatically realign these rhythms. The speed at which your body readjusts itself to new daylight and darkness hours and eating and sleeping patterns is entirely dependent upon the individual. So while it may take a few days for certain people to readjust to a new time zone, others seem to experience little disruption to their body's natural sleeping pattern.

In order to combat jetlag, Danièle recommends that you follow a few basic principles before, during and after your flight; take plenty of exercise during the flight by walking up and down the aisle; avoiding both alcohol and caffeine; and consume plenty of water to stave off dehydration.

Danièle also maintains the importance of harmonizing your ‘senses’ through natural aromatherapy remedies and products, especially those developed from high quality natural plant extracts, to combat this ‘syndrome’. Such products will help not only your physical elements to acclimatise to the drastic change in environment once airborne, but also synchronize your mind, putting you at ease with the surroundings.

This ‘psychology of the senses’ is the ‘science of aromas’: Armacology. Through the application and inhalation of certain natural products, jetlag can be combated naturally, whilst also helping to enhance your physical and emotional condition. Danièle’s personal portfolio of aromatherapy products are therefore ideal for travellers, all of which focus on the key areas of the body most at risk from jetlag.
