IV Therapy is a safe and effective method of administering fluids, medications or vitamins directly into the bloodstream intravenously to address a variety of medical issues. Hydration, pain relief and a boost in vitamin intake are common reasons for seeking this treatment. IV hydration is quick, non-invasive and provides the body with immediate results.

The benefits of IV therapy include rehydration, nutrient absorption and faster healing. People suffering from chronic fatigue, hangovers, muscle soreness and jet lag often find the benefits of this treatment to be very beneficial. IV Therapy can also help improve conditions such as Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Cystic Fibrosis that prevent the body from absorbing certain vitamins.

To receive an IV treatment, the healthcare professional cleans the skin where they will insert the cannula (a tube). They then find a suitable vein, which is usually in your forearm or hand. They sanitize the area and then insert the cannula, which may pinch and feel uncomfortable. A small plastic attachment is then placed onto the end of the cannula. They then attach the tube to a bag of fluid and hang it from a stand (called an IV stand).

The bag of fluid contains a mixture of saline solution, which is used to provide hydration and maintain electrolyte balance. Some IV drips also contain a solution of glucose, which provides energy to the body. Other ingredients in the IV cocktail can include various vitamins, minerals and amino acids, as well as medications to treat a particular condition.
