I try not to take to much medicine -- especially while on trips. Sometimes though it's a must have for long trips. You might be interested in a great product -- a capsule version of Jet Lag Formula. This concoction was developed by an acupuncturist and herbalist. It is supposed to reduce the effects of jet lag. One box ($20) or bottle ($16) of Jet Lag Formula is sufficient for a round-trip domestic flight; for international travel, you need one box or bottle during each leg of your journey.

I've heard that it works so I may give it a try on my next long flight.
