Jet Lag

[Guest guest]

Yehuda,

I knew I had something burried in the depths of my misc. acupuncture

notes file... Can't tell you if it works, but it's interesting....

Geeze - just did a search and some chiropractor wrote an article about

this Tx also.. http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/18/11/03.html

 

Have a safe trip,

Geoff

 

 

Jet Lag Treatment for Time Zone Travel

 

Protocol

- Needle the horary point corresponding with the time at your

destination [gh: use the organ based on the chinese clock cycle ]

- Every two hours, needle the corresponding horary point on the chart

until you land at the destination

- It's best to treat for an entire 24 hour cycle

- If you sleep through several horary zones, pick up upon awakening

- Tx bilaterally with moderate stim and retain 5-7 minutes

- Electronic and laser stim are acceptable alternatives

- It's equally important to get enough hydration and avoid caffeine /

ETOH and other diuretics

 

Remember the horary points?? I didn't, so here it is:

Liv 1, Lu 8, LI 1, ST 36, Sp 3, Ht 8, SI 5, UB 66, Ki 10, P8, SJ 6, GB

I have used the method of stimulating the phasic points tens of times

since I read Amaro's article in the late 1980's. It works very well

even

if you just use your fingers. I have taught a few patients to do it

themselves, also with excellent results.

There are a few things that I do differently than the protocol in the

post.

1) you only need to start 2-4 hours before you leave and end 2-4

hours after reaching

your destination.

2) For the first half of the trip [however long that is], stimulate

the phasic points for the time that it is at your point of

departure before stimulating those for the time at your

destination. This seems to help reset things - I have tried

not doing this with less clear results.

3) As noted above, I rarely use needles for this; most commonly just

enough finger pressure to get a qi seensation.

Have a smooth trip.

Thomas, at the PCOM symposium in '98(?) Dan Bensky explained a method to

prevent Jet Lag by in-flight needling according to the Chinese clock. It

was too long ago for me to remember, but if someone took notes at his talk

then they may be able to post his tip. He claimed to have learned it from a

Chiro of all people.

jet lag?

 

Dear Marilette,

 

I was wondering if there is any standard treatment for

jet lag?

I have been travelling for work between Europe and

Asia and seem to

be very much affected by the jet lag (my husband

travels with me but

is not quite as affected). It usually takes about a

week for me to

adjust.

 

Thank you for your help,

Maria

Dear Maria,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Jet lag is a common sleep disorder.

For years, jet lag was considered merely a state of

mind. Now, studies have shown that the condition

actually results from an imbalance in our body's

natural " biological clock " caused by traveling to

different time zones. Basically, our bodies work on a

24-hour cycle called " circadian rhythms. " These

rhythms are measured by the distinct rise and fall of

body temperature, plasma levels of certain hormones

and other biological conditions. All of these are

influenced by our exposure to sunlight and help

determine when we sleep and when we wake.

 

When traveling to a new time zone, our circadian

rhythms are slow to adjust and remain on their

original biological schedule for several days. This

results in our bodies telling us it is time to sleep,

when it's actually the middle of the afternoon, or it

makes us want to stay awake when it is late at night.

This experience is known as jet lag. Jet lag is a

common sleep disorder.

 

Some simple behavioral adjustments before, during and

after arrival at your destination can help minimize

some of the side effects of jet lag.

 

-Select a flight that allows early evening arrival and

stay up until 10 p.m. local time. (If you must sleep

during the day, take a short nap in the early

afternoon, but no longer than two hours. Set an alarm

to be sure not to over sleep.)

 

-Anticipate the time change for trips by getting up

and going to bed earlier several days prior to an

eastward trip and later for a westward trip.

 

-Upon boarding the plane, change your watch to the

destination time zone.

 

-Avoid alcohol or caffeine at least three to four

hours before bedtime. Both act as " stimulants " and

prevent sleep.

 

-Upon arrival at a destination, avoid heavy meals (a

snack—not chocolate—is okay).

 

-Avoid any heavy exercise close to bedtime. (Light

exercise earlier in the day is fine.)

 

-Bring earplugs and blindfolds to help dampen noise

and block out unwanted light while sleeping.

 

-Try to get outside in the sunlight whenever possible.

Daylight is a powerful stimulant for regulating the

biological clock. (Staying indoors worsens jet lag.)

 

Contrary to popular belief, the type of foods we eat

have no effect on minimizing jet lag.
