No Jet-Lag is a homeopathic remedy that can help some travelers minimize the fatigue, disorientation, sleep disruption, and general discomfort often associated with long flights. Developed in New Zealand by Miers Laboratories, the pills contain a combination of leopard’s bane, ipecac, club moss, and wild chamomile; chew one at take-off, one every two hours during the flight, and one at landing. They are not a cure-all, however; they do not counter the effects of alcohol, sleep deprivation, or existing medical problems. For more information, log on to www.nojetlag.com. Thirty-two tablets cost about $11; they are available at Splash spa at The Sports Club/LA, 4 Avery St., Boston; telephone 617-375-8580); through the Magellan’s catalog (800-962-4943) and at www.magellans.com, and elsewhere online at www.jfainc.com, www.thesavvytraveller.com, www.drugstore.com, www.travelgearnow.com, www.easygoing.com, and www.magellans.com.
