It was an ideal vacation. Unfortunately, you can’t say the same for your first day back. You have a headache, can’t concentrate, and are falling asleep at your desk. No surprise.
When you travel across time zones by plane, your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, lags behind the jet that flew you from Paris back home to Philadelphia. With your circadian rhythm disrupted, your body and sleep schedule are out of whack.
Add to that, the air pressure and lower oxygen levels on the plane at high altitudes, and it’s easy to see why you are so tired, dehydrated, or nauseous.
Consuming salty, fatty, or sugary foods during travel is also common and can further exacerbate that sluggish feeling.
Best Impression Med Spa, in Blue Bell, PA, we have your back. Led by Robert Mirabile, MD, and Vivian Hsu, MD,, our team helps clients rebound from jet lag quickly with customizable IV therapy. Here’s what you need to know.
Eastward travel typically results in more severe symptoms than westward travel because advancing the circadian rhythm is more difficult. In either event, the more time zones you cross, the worse your jet lag usually is.
Common jet lag symptoms include:
Propensity for jet lag varies, with older adults usually experiencing more pronounced effects. While jet lag symptoms are temporary, they can be highly disruptive for the first few days of your trip or upon returning home. IV therapy allows you to bounce back quicker.
IV therapy is a customizable wellness treatment that involves administering fluids and nutrients directly into your bloodstream via an IV, so your body can absorb them immediately. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system, IV therapy delivers nutrients directly to support hydration, energy levels, immune health, and overall balance.
For jet lag, formulations typically include: saline and electrolytes for rapid rehydration with a blend of energy-boosting B-complex vitamins, immune-supporting Vitamin C, and sleep-regulating minerals like magnesium.
Most sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes. Patients often relax during treatment and typically experience minimal discomfort. Because IV therapy is non-invasive, there is little to no downtime, and you can return to your normal routine immediately afterward.
