Really glad the author shared personal experience from the Mumbai-London route specifically. Fourteen flights and a clear before/after — that kind of real-world data is more convincing than generic advice.

Has anyone tried the sesame oil foot massage mid-flight? Curious if you can actually do that discreetly in your seat or if it requires a trip to the lavatory.

the third section mentions a specific oil preparation. Is this available commercially or only homemade?

reading this in 2026, is the dietary protocol still the same or has it been updated honestly

I never connected jet lag to Vata aggravation before reading this. Dry cabin air, recycled oxygen, disrupted meal times — it all fits. No wonder the symptoms feel so similar to classic Vata imbalance.

The part about eating warm, oily foods before a flight actually makes so much sense. I always grabbed airport fast food and landed feeling destroyed. Going to try the ghee rice idea before my next trip.

Do the in-flight rituals mentioned here — the oil on feet, the breathing exercises — work just as well on shorter hauls like a 5-hour domestic flight, or are they really meant for the long intercontinental ones?

This is exactly the post I needed before my Delhi-Toronto flight next month. The bit about eating light and grounding before boarding — never thought jet lag could be addressed before you even board.
