Jet lag steals the fun from your first few vacation days, leaving you dangerously disoriented. Your mind and body struggle to adjust to a new time zone. Researchers offer a simple jet lag remedy: pine-bark extract (brand name Pycnogenol). It is available at natural food stores and pharmacies. Your brain tissue swells slightly on long flights, and pine bark, an anti-edema, cuts the swelling. Taken for two days before a flight of seven to nine hours and for five days after landing, it reduces symptoms from 39 hours to just 18 hours. It's certainly worth a try, especially for that lucky family traveling to Italy this summer!
