Lights Out Blend

Jet Lag, by the time you realize it's gotten its talons into you, it's generally too late - you've fallen asleep in a meeting, slept through your best friend's wedding, missed a job interview or worse. The condition, known scientifically as desynchronosis, is the result of crossing time zones faster than your internal clock can keep up. While the condition is typically brought on by air travel, it actually has to do with what are known as Circadian rhythms, (the scientific term for the natural times our bodies are susceptible to falling asleep). According to sleep researchers, there are two peak times a day when these rhythms kick in, 3 am to 5 am and 3 pm to 5 pm.

So, what can you do to combat such conditions? (Other than the chemically assisted solution of popping a sleeping pill) We've developed a number of methods for combating jet lag to the best of our abilities. One of these has always been to pack a blend of rooibos and chamomile for the journey. We like you to bring a couple of tea sacs of our Lights Out Blend herbal tea in your carry-on and infuse a cup once airborne. The herbal combo soothes the mind and body and provides the body with a good dose of vitamins and antioxidants, making your arrival a little easier to deal with. Simply brew, ease the seat back and enjoy.
