One of the most common things we hear from our customers as they are settling into their lymphatic cleanse session is that they have just returned from a work trip or vacation that had them on an airplane and visiting HOT HAVEN was a must on their to-do list. It’s no wonder that we are their first stop after touchdown when “jet/airplane belly” is such a common side effect of traveling and additional gas in their digestive system. 

On a flight, our bodies are adjusting to the changes that are brought on by the altitude and the shift in the pressure of the atmosphere. This causes the air that naturally is gathering in your intestines to increase and decrease, and your digestive system is working hard to keep up with the excess gas which causes bloating during the flight. This bloat stays and creates ongoing “airplane belly” when our bodies don’t release the gas that has built up during the flight while descending and can last up to a week in some cases.

Sometimes it's not even just the flight that is causing the bloat from traveling. When we go to new places, we are often eating new food that our bodies are not used to and sometimes skip on water so we don’t have to use the restroom during flights or sightseeing. Lack of sleep because of resting in an unfamiliar hotel or suffering from jet lag can also cause jet lag. 

So where does HOT HAVEN come in and how can it save you from the post-trip bloating?

Lymphatic drainage is a miracle-worker in decreasing the appearance of puffiness and feeling/experience of bloating in the body. Lymphatic drainage supports gastrointestinal health as the parasympathetic nervous system supports positive activity. Not only does it flush toxins out, but it provides immediate relief by releasing air and gas from the body. Outside of bloating, lymphatic drainage also going to help boost immunity which everyone can use after being exposed to all of the travel germs.
