Southampton - Whether traveling overseas or embarking on a "red eye" flight from LA to NY, 94 percent of long distance travelers experience jet lag.

While in-flight magazines and airport kiosks sell every travel accessory from travel pillows to cell phone accessories, there are very few items that aren't sleeping pills that assist in combating jet lag. Many long distance fliers are wary of taking sleep-inducing medications like Ambien or Dramamine for fear of being groggy or experiencing side effects such as dizziness, nausea and headache.

For those looking for pill-free solutions to minimizing jet lag, here are Five Things to Never Leave Home Without When Crossing Time Zones:

1. After the exhausting process of checking in and navigating security, it can be difficult to fall asleep once boarding the flight. Badger Sleep Balm contains a relaxing blend of balsam fir extracts with essential oils of bergamot, ginger, rosemary and lavender, as well as organic extra-virgin olive oil. A rub on the temples, chin or pulse points help fliers relax and sleep, www.badgerbalm.com.
