While long air flights are very exciting and essential to our travel plans there’s no denying they can play havoc with our bodies and minds in the adjustment process. Homoeopathic remedies along with some simple adjustments to diet and self-care can be extremely useful in allowing the adaptation to change to be a smooth process.
