Q: Can I use natural medicine instead of a sleeping pill for jet lag?
Dr. Cheng: Jet lag can be minimized by taking homeopathic Cocculus Indicus 30CH twice daily for two days before the flight and continue for 3 more days after the flight. There is no side effect and no age limit. Melatonin can be used to help adjust to the new night and day schedule but some people have wild dreams after taking Melatonin. Sedaplus® contains Valerian, Chamomile, and Hops and is an effective herbal sleep aid.
