IV Drip therapy
Why IV Therapy
The use of IV therapy in hospitals and emergency settings is a well-known, widespread practice since the 1930s.
It wasn’t until the 1960s that Dr. John Myers started injecting patients with what he called a “cocktail” of vitamins and minerals that the medical field realized the potential of IV therapy to optimize health.
Myers exact formula was lost upon his death in the 1980s, but experts came up with a modified version that includes:
Vitamins B and C
Magnesium sulfate
Calcium gluconate
Selenium
This showed that IV therapy wasn't just for blood transfusions; it can help patients receive valuable nutrients, too.
IV treatments have grown in popularity and there is a more diverse offering across wellness clinics, spas, and cosmetic practices, targeting an array of wellness concerns from patients looking to optimize their health.
How is IV therapy different from taking a supplement?
Well, with IV drips, the body receives the vitamins and minerals by injecting the solution directly into the bloodstream; a process that bypasses the digestive system and allows clients to feel the positive effects instantly.
The most common benefits of IV therapy are:
Improve hydration
Nourish the body through vitamins, minerals and electrolytes
Strengthen the immune system
Enhance energy
Boost the metabolism
Protect against free radicals
Regenerate cells, and improve skin conditions
Upgrade Your Body’s Protection Plan!
Besides pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines, there are certain herbs, vitamins and nutraceuticals which can also be used to boost and protect the immune system.
Herbal medicine and natural supplements are valued due to their tonic effect on the adrenal glands and their power to improve the body’s ability to cope with stress.
There are also life-style habits to help strengthen the immune system, like eating a whole foods diet with a variety of vegetables, fruits and legumes, drinking sufficient water daily, exercising for at least 30 minutes four times per week, sleeping enough to allow the body to restore, and managing stress since it depletes levels of protective vitamins.
Whether your focus is your immune system, your weight, your skin, your energy or your sleep, we are here with you and for you!
