Jet Lag Treatment
Long-distance travel can be exciting, but the exhaustion that follows often isn’t. Jet lag happens when your body clock struggles to adjust after crossing time zones, leaving you feeling drained, unfocused, and out of sync.
At Periville Pharmacy, we offer practical advice for jet lag, supportive care, and professional guidance to help you feel yourself again sooner. With two local branches, we’re proud to support travellers based in Grimsby or nearby areas, including Laceby, Keelby, Great Coates, and Healing.
