If you mean anti-nausea medicine, ginger will help. pick up some candied ginger pieces, or if you're tough... a ginger root and gnaw on the pieces.

Do you get sick to your tummy if so
make peppermint tea
Drink three to six cups a day start four days before hand
It is best to use fresh mint but in a pinch tea bags will do

to help relax you the essential oil of lavender can do this

To enhance you mood

put the following on a sweater or other piece of clothing that you can take with you on the plane.
4 drops of Juniper oil
2 drops of lavender oil
2 drops of clary-sage oil

aroma of cinnamon oil can calm your anxieties and strengthen self-confidence


For deep relaxation
this can be sedation so you may want to use this went you get to were you are going and need some sleep
2 drops of frankincense oil

Allot of people use melatonin to re-adjust to a new time zone.

1.) Lavender Essential Oil is available at any well stocked health food store. It is one of the few essential oils that you would use without diluting. It is highly anti-viral, and can be applied below the nose and around the neck to avoid catching a cold or flu while flying. Here are some other ways that Lavender EO can be used:

-for any type of burn, sunburn, or scald it works much like aloe
-removes the pain from stings and bug bites
-is anti-bacterial and can be used on cuts and scrapes
-stops painful muscle spasms, helps relax tense muscles
-can help you go to sleep in a strange place
-can relieve stress when you are in new situations
-can be used in a hot bath at the onset of a cold to -release exterior pathogens much like echinacea does
-can be applied to the temples to relieve a headache

2.) Rescue Remedy is a Bach flower essence remedy that can be purchased at any health food store. It is essential in any crisis situation, for trauma, or for shock. It calms those who are overwhelmed or suffering with an anxiety attack. It is gentle enough to use with children and animals.

3.) GSE, or Grapefruit Seed Extract, can be added (just a few drops) when you are traveling overseas, or are leery of the drinking water. Contaminated water is one of the leading causes of illness for travelers. It's best to resort to bottled water, but if none is available and there is no way to boil water, GSE will kill bacteria, such as E. coli, cholera and salmonella. Most well-stocked health food stores will have a small bottle of GSE available.

4.) Charcoal capsules are also available at health food stores. Charcoal will absorb bacteria and viruses in the gut. It can be used preventative if you fear that you have been exposed to a bug, or on the onset of digestive upsets.

5.) Curing Pills formula is an ancient Chinese formula used to treat any type of digestive upset from over-eating and bloating to nausea and diarrhea. They are a cure all for any digestive disorder and will restore the digestive system after a stomach virus. They are non-toxic and can be taken by children.

Answer 4

I take melatonin (at least 3 mg) and use valerian capsules on long haul flights. I also found something called "No Jet Lag," that is a homeopathic med, and it really helped reduce jet lag!! Also, eat light foods (no meat etc) two days before flying, stay well hydrated, drink a liter of water every few hours, and after you land. Get out and walk around unless you land late at night.

Answer 5

Valerian helps you relax and won't cause you to pass out. It's great! You can also make some herbal tea of chamomile, lavender and valerian - that's really relaxing! Lobelia is a great relaxant too!
