The Troubles of Jet Lag and Tourist Concerns



Welcome to Japan! 🇯🇵 We know you've had a long flight, and we appreciate you making the journey. 😌 But are you suffering from jet lag right after arrival? 😩 "I'm sleepy during the day... 😴" "I wake up in the middle of the night... 😳" "My body feels heavy and I can't enjoy sightseeing... 😫" It would be a shame to ruin your precious Tokyo trip with these unpleasant symptoms. 😭 In this article, we'll introduce acupuncture and oil massage to relieve jet lag and make your trip more comfortable. 👍


Causes and Symptoms of Jet Lag, and Other Discomforts from Long Flights

Jet lag is caused by a disruption in your internal body clock (circadian rhythm). ⏰ The human body is naturally programmed to follow a rhythm of activity and rest according to sunlight. ☀️ However, when you travel across multiple time zones in a short period, this rhythm is disrupted, leading to various discomforts.


  • Main Symptoms:

    • Daytime sleepiness 😴, nighttime insomnia 😳

    • Lethargy 😩, fatigue 😫

    • Headache 🤕, heavy head 🤯

    • Loss of appetite 🤢, indigestion 🤮

    • Reduced concentration and judgment 😵‍💫

In addition to jet lag, long flights can cause other discomforts such as:

  • Risk of Economy Class Syndrome (Deep Vein Thrombosis):

    • Poor blood circulation due to sitting in the same position for a long time 🩸

    • Swelling 🦵, pain 😖, and heaviness in the legs 😫

  • Dehydration:

    • Lack of water due to dry air in the cabin 💧

    • Thirst 🥵, headache 🤕, dizziness 😵‍💫

  • Back pain 😫, stiff shoulders 😖:

    • Unnatural posture in a narrow seat 💺

    • Muscle tension 💪, poor blood circulation 🩸

    • Aims to balance the body from the inside out. 🧘‍♀️

  • Oil Massage:

    • Gently massages the whole body using fragrant oils. 🌸🌿

    • Relieves muscle tension and promotes relaxation. 😌
