What is IV THERAPY
Intravenous (IV) therapy is practiced globally, making it a fascinating topic in the media.
IV therapy is associated with functional medicine, which seeks to identify the root cause of an illness through physiological or biochemical imbalances. This natural therapy enables naturopathic practitioners to treat patients nutritionally, promoting the body’s self-healing capabilities.

ADVANTAGES OF IV THERAPY
1. YOU DELIVER VITAMINS, MINERALS AND OTHER NUTRIENTS DIRECTLY INTO THE CELLS.
With the use of IV therapy, you do not have to wait for the IV compound to
pass through the liver and digestive system. Instead, nutrients are inserted
through the veins, entering your bloodstream. As a result, vitamins and
minerals (e.g vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin D, etc.) are immediately conveyed
to the cells, making them promptly available for the body.With IV therapy, you do not have to wait for the nutrients to pass through the liver and digestive system.

2. PATIENTS MAY EXPERIENCE FEWER SIDE EFFECTS COMPARED TO CONSUMING ORAL SUPPLEMENTS.
In contrast to swallowing high-dose oral supplements (such as vitamin C and magnesium), patients who have undergone IV therapy have reported fewer side effects. Unlike intravenous therapy, consuming high-dose supplements can result in diarrhea, nausea, or cramping.
3. IV THERAPY MAY FACILITATE IN REACHING EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OUTCOMES.
According to research, high concentrations of certain nutrients are needed to notice benefits; vitamin C is one example. However, when taken orally, high doses of these nutrients cannot exert their full benefits. This is because, when ingested in liquid, capsule, or tablet form, only a small amount of the nutrients is absorbed into the bloodstream, with the rest being flushed out of the body. Additionally, some patients cannot absorb certain supplements in the intestines due to their health conditions. IV therapy may be advantageous for those who require high doses of nutrients to address their health issues.

BENEFITS OF IV THERAPY
EFFICIENT APPOINTMENTS
IV treatments typically last between 60 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the specific type of treatment, the ingredients used, and the size of the IV bag. The duration of each appointment varies according to these factors.
IMPROVES ENERGY LEVELS
Hydration and nutrients are essential for maintaining energy levels in the human body. IV therapy offers a natural and nutritional way to boost your energy effectively.
MAY ACT AS A QUICK HEALTH SUPPORT
Since IV therapy is administered directly into the bloodstream, your body instantly absorbs the nutritional compounds. This often results in a noticeable increase in energy levels within a few hours of treatment. IV therapy acts swiftly to help your body recover, rehydrate, and energize.
HELPS REPLENISH VITAMIN LEVELS
Proper vitamins are essential for the body to function optimally. IV therapy helps deliver the vital minerals and vitamins that your body may be lacking.
CONTRIBUTES TO HYDRATING THE BODY
Dehydration can impede body and brain function, as well as impact the health of your skin and organs. Discomfort can occur even with just a 2% level of dehydration. IV therapy can help restore your body to an optimal level of hydration.
