IV Therapy

IV hydration therapy is a method of inserting fluids directly into veins that often provides immediate hydration and relief for a range of conditions. Instead of requiring you to consume nutrients and medication through your digestive system, an intravenous approach delivers them straight to your bloodstream, allowing a higher concentration to reach your organs and tissue and start working faster.

What Is An IV?

An Intravenous line, commonly known as an IV, is a medical procedure utilized for delivering fluids, nutrients, and medications directly into a patient’s vein. This flexible, soft tube is typically inserted into a vein in your arm or hand. The primary function of an IV is to provide a regulated introduction of substances into your bloodstream over a specific duration of time.

This method enables faster administration of treatment by allowing vital substances like water, medication, blood, or nutrients to reach the body quickly via the circulatory system. It’s worth noting that IV treatment is one of the most frequently used invasive procedures in healthcare settings.

IV Therapy Benefits

Doctors, medical professionals, and scientists are discovering new benefits every day:

1. Energy Management

IV therapies often include essential amino acids. These amino acids function similarly to caffeine, and you can get them intravenously without the added boost (and eventual crash) from the sugar in coffee and sodas.

2. Weight Loss

If you’re trying to lose weight, the best way to do so is to make sure you have the energy and nutrients to get in a good workout and cool down once it’s over. Weight loss drips can be your secret weapon for getting in shape.

3. Hangover Treatment

One of our most popular drip packages is designed to treat headaches and other hangover symptoms after a great night out. Avoid the discomfort of a hangover and get back to doing what you need to feel refreshed.

4. Nutrient Deficiency Treatment

IV therapy can be beneficial for restoring certain nutrient levels if you have trouble maintaining them. People with Crohn’s disease, short bowel syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and similar conditions have found relief by using IVs

5. Free Radicals Cleansing

Simply going outside can introduce your body to free radicals — agents that promote signs of aging and can even change your DNA. Infusions of antioxidants like vitamin C can help your body flush these and other toxins out of your system.

While the main benefits of your IV fluids will ultimately depend on which drip package you choose, you can always add booster shots to ensure you’re targeting areas where you want to see more improvement.

So, what is IV therapy used for? Generally, the main types are:

1. Hangover relief: After overindulging during a night out, you might wake up feeling awful. A dry mouth, pounding headache, upset digestive system, and desire to keep the shades drawn are all telltale signs of a hangover. A bad hangover can make it hard to concentrate and ruin your entire day. IV therapy is an effective way to find relief that replaces the last-ditch efforts of chugging a glass of water or a cup of coffee with an over-the-counter painkiller and going back to bed. A hangover IV bag includes fluids to rehydrate the body, vitamins to help improve your energy levels, and medication to reduce the painful symptoms of nausea, heartburn, and headache.
2. Athletic performance recovery: Your body may feel drained and sore after an intense workout. Whether you ran a marathon or hit the gym for a lifting session, your body could use a boost. IV therapy helps athletes recover following periods of exertion. Recovery IV drip therapy includes numerous components designed to support athletes during the recovery period. Fluids help you rehydrate, while vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids boost your energy levels and help your body repair any tissue damage.
3. Immune system support: The immune system fights off infection and keeps the body healthy, but we can still get sick. Whether you are worried about getting sick — especially during cold and flu season — or you’ve caught a bug, IV therapy can help support your immune system. IV therapy for immune system support includes a number of vitamins and minerals to naturally boost the immune system to expedite recovery and reduce the chances of you catching a bug.
4. Cold and flu relief: If you find yourself knocked down by the symptoms of the cold or flu, IV therapy can offer relief. A cold and flu IV drip helps keep you hydrated. It also has vitamins and minerals to help your immune system do its job and kick the bug. Plus, anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea medications help to relieve uncomfortable cold and flu symptoms, such as coughing, body aches, headache, and fever.
5. Pregnancy symptom alleviation: Morning sickness is a common experience during pregnancy that consists of symptoms like an upset stomach or vomiting. The symptoms are often triggered by different environmental factors, such as certain smells, tastes, room temperatures, or simply nothing at all. While these symptoms typically subside as the pregnancy progresses, they can be uncomfortable and disruptive to your daily life. IV therapy for morning sickness includes fluids for hydration, as well as vitamins and medication to help manage nausea and vomiting.
6. Migraine and headache relief: Migraines and headaches can be debilitating. The exact cause of these conditions isn’t always clear, but common triggers include stress, diet, environment, and certain medications. We can learn our triggers and try to avoid them, but migraines and headaches can still sneak up on us. If you are looking for relief, IV therapy for migraines and headaches includes vitamins and medication to mitigate your painful symptoms. If you experience nausea with your migraines, we can supplement the IV therapy package with anti-nausea medication.
7. Hydration and Improved Energy Levels: IV hydration can provide quicker relief from dehydration compared to consuming water orally. Saline solution is directly infused into your bloodstream through an IV line that will deliver fluids quickly, supplying the body with much-needed hydration. When battling symptoms of dehydration like fatigue and headaches, rapid hydration becomes crucial. With an IV hydration drip, you may begin to experience positive effects immediately. Over a period, you’ll notice improvements both internally and externally. In cases of severe dehydration, we always recommend consulting your doctor.
