As we start to travel more in the summer, the fatigue and jet-lag that comes after it are one of the main concerns we deal with.
If you travelled somewhere with more than a three-hour time difference, chances are you will experience jet lag. While efforts like hydration and limiting caffeine intake might do the trick for some, it doesn’t address jet lag at its core. The irritability, foggy mindset, poor digestion and disrupted sleep patterns might still present itself a few days after you land and throw you off your usual schedule. Not ideal when you are going straight back to work, right?
Here, Emirates Woman selects the 5 effective stress- and jet-lag busting treatments you would want to book right after your trip.

What is it and how does it work:
Magnesium is popularly known to contribute and aid in a deep and restful sleep. This treatment helps alleviate the symptoms of jet lag by stimulating the lymphatic system and circulation in general, relieving bloating, loosening up joints, easing muscle tension, and increasing the levels of magnesium in the body, which plays a role in regulating the body’s circadian rhythm and supporting healthy sleep patterns. This exclusive treatment being offered in July, includes a 30-minute glowing scrub and a 30-minute massage. Each of these treatments are designed to relieve muscle fatigue, improve sleep, detox, and promote the sensation of overall wellbeing.

Got little time to spare? Cryotherapy offers a quick and effective treatment to alleviate jet lag. All you need to do is enter the cryochamber for 15 minutes and expose your body to an extremely cold temperature of -110°C. A favourite of elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts, cryotherapy works to reduce muscle pain and inflammation as well as boost your mental focus and physical energy, ensuring you are ready for the day ahead. Cold-air exposure such as cryotherapy increases your norepinephrine levels, the hormone that helps you regulate the circadian rhythm, allowing you to reset your body clock.

Tell your therapist to focus on congested areas that are prone to swelling and pain during a long flight like the legs and feet.
