A Guide to IV Hydration Therapy

IV hydration therapy is the latest trend that you can easily access without having to go to a regular clinic or a hospital.


Nowadays, IV therapy is used for everything from food-poisoning to rehydration due to a hangover.

What does IV hydration do?

Hydration therapy is a specialized treatment  that involves the administration of IV fluids into the bloodstream using an IV bag filled with a mixture of customized fluids and an IV needle. 

These fluids contain specific electrolytes, medications, or nutrients that help promote hydration along with other ingredients and additives that can be used to enhance general health. Common ingredients include:

 

  •       Calcium
  •       Magnesium
  •       B Vitamins

 

IV hydration is typically painless after the initial needle stick and in fact, some people even find IV treatment to be relaxing. 

People seek out this kind of IV therapy to hydrate more easily than what would be possible by simply drinking water. IV therapy has a long history of effectiveness which is why it’s used so regularly in conventional medicine settings like hospitals and clinics.

Does IV hydration therapy work?

 

In conventional hospitals intravenous therapies are used to dramatically increase the odds of survival when patients have low blood pressure, or if they’ve experienced a dangerous infection of massive bleeding. 

With Reset IV, IV hydration therapy can be used by patients to get fluids into the body quickly in order to avoid the symptoms of hangover or to promote rapid recovery from illness or extreme athletic activities. 

IV hydration is a valuable and important tool that anyone can use to avoid some of the unpleasant symptoms of illness or toxicity due to overconsumption of alcohol.

 

IV hydration therapy is a mainstay in conventional medicine because it works. 


The human body is made up of approximately 60-75% water. Every chemical reaction that occurs in the body takes place in a watery environment. 


So, when a person becomes dehydrated, necessary chemical reactions are slowed or brought to a stop. This can have negative consequences on a patient’s health.

 

Additionally, you can request hydration IV therapy that has been customized to contain specific nutrients or medications to help you overcome pain or infection, relief from nausea after a heavy night of partying, or to simply improve your overall health. 


Is IV better than drinking water when it comes to rehydration?

 

When it comes to rehydrating the body, IV therapy has some advantages over drinking water. 

If your stomach and digestive lining is irritated and inflamed for any reason, it may be difficult to absorb the water and electrolytes that you need to rehydrate your body completely. 

Rehydrating via IV therapy allows you to replace fluids directly into the bloodstream rather than risking additional irritation and inflammation of the digestive lining while drinking by mouth. 

An IV bag can be customized by our medical professionals to contain the perfect amount of electrolytes needed to rehydrate your body easily and evenly via the bloodstream. In contrast drinking fluids can have unpredictable and much slower results even if you’re drinking electrolyte-enriched drinks.

 

If you’ve become dehydrated, it’s wise to keep drinking water if you can, but if you have a severe hangover or an illness that’s causing vomiting or diarrhea, rehydrating by drinking may be difficult or even impossible. 

Even the excessive mucus production caused by colds and influenza can lead to dehydration (because water in the body is recruited to create mucus when you have a respiratory infection).

 When you rehydrate using IV therapy, your body can get ahead of the illness or the toxicity that’s causing symptoms like nausea, dizziness, fatigue, sinus or bronchial congestion, or headache to reduce those symptoms.

How long does a hydration IV last?

A hydration IV treatment usually lasts between 15 and 90 minutes but it varies from person to person. 

Plan to devote at least one hour for your hydration IV therapy treatment. Schedule your treatments about 2 weeks apart to keep your nutrient levels elevated after you stabilize your health goals. 

Can you drink water while on IV?

While you don’t necessarily need to drink water when you are receiving IV hydration therapy, some people still feel the desire or need for a nice cool sip of water. 

In hospital settings there are certain situations where patients are not allowed to drink water while on IV, but if you are receiving IV hydration therapy through Reset IV for a hangover cure or for another healing-motivated cause, there’s no issue. 

You are more than welcome to drink water while you are receiving your IV hydration therapy treatment with us!

 

IV hydration therapy is a much more affordable alternative to becoming ill due to a lack of proper nutrients and proper hydration. 

Even if you make a strong effort to drink plenty of water each day, maintenance IV hydration therapy can help you prevent illness, hangovers, and much more, which is why this type of therapy has become so popular.
