IV Hydration

IV hydration therapy, also known as intravenous (IV) therapy, is a procedure that involves inserting a liquid solution into a vein to treat or prevent dehydration. IV fluids are typically a water-based solution that contains electrolytes, such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, sulfate, and B vitamins. The exact composition of the fluid depends on the patient's age, medical history, and the severity of their dehydration. IV hydration therapy can be used for a variety of reasons, including:

Dehydration: IV fluids can help people who are dehydrated from exercise, heat, or illness.
Surgery: IV fluids can be used for patients who are undergoing surgery.
Nutritional needs: IV fluids can be used for people who are unable to get enough nutrients from food.

IV hydration therapy can provide immediate relief from a number of conditions. It can also help with:

Boosting energy levels
Improving immune health
Improving mood
Improving mental clarity
Reducing symptoms of migraines
Accelerating wound healing

IV hydration therapy is a safe and common procedure with a low risk of complications. A nurse will typically use a numbing spray to minimize discomfort when placing a catheter into the vein. The catheter is then attached to a bag of fluid, and the IV infusion is delivered. A complete IV therapy session can take around 30 to 45 minutes.
