5 Reasons to Consider IV Therapy
Most people think intravenous (IV) therapy is only for hospital patients who need medication as part of their treatment — but that’s just not so. Today, IV therapy is widely used to improve health and wellness in people of all ages and with a wide array of health concerns.
At Personal ConciergMed in Coral Gables, Florida, Lianet R Tuduri, MD, offers tailored IV therapy services to help patients enjoy better health and an improved quality of life. Here, learn five reasons why you might want to consider this increasingly popular treatment.
1. It’s versatile
IV therapy uses solutions of nutrients, antioxidants, and fluids to help you achieve your own health-related goals. It’s so versatile because it can:
- Boost immunity
- Correct nutrient deficiencies
- Increase natural energy
- Improve athletic performance
- Promote natural healing
- Improve skin and hair health
- Treat headaches, including migraines
- Banish hangovers
- Improve symptoms of fatigue, including chronic fatigue and jet lag
In addition to our vitamin and mineral formulas, we also offer IV delivery of antibiotics and other medications for patients with absorption issues or other concerns that make oral medications ineffective or problematic.
2. There’s no downtime
IV therapy is performed right in our office, with sessions taking about an hour. Afterward, you can go right back to your regular routine: There’s no downtime and no special instructions you’ll need to follow afterward.
In fact, IV therapy is so convenient, it’s easy to fit it into even the busiest schedule. And because therapy delivers nutrients directly to your circulatory system, you can begin enjoying benefits almost immediately.
3. It’s customizable
While some IV therapies are based on standard formulas, like the Myers’ cocktail, every therapy can be adjusted based on your specific needs and goals. Before we initiate any type of IV therapy, our team reviews your health history and your treatment goals to design an IV therapy regimen just for you.
When you make IV therapy part of your regular health and wellness routine, our team continues to adjust your treatment as your health needs and goals change over time.
4. It provides direct delivery
It’s true, some health issues can be treated with oral medications or supplements. But these products must make their way through your digestive system where acids and enzymes break them down and dilute them. In the end, what’s absorbed can be far different and far less than what you expect.
IV therapy delivers fluids, nutrients, and medications directly to your bloodstream, bypassing your gastrointestinal system entirely. That means more of the IV solution is absorbed by your tissues and organs, so you get the benefits you’re looking for. Direct delivery to your bloodstream also means you don’t have to worry about stomach irritation and upset that occur with some oral preparations.
5. It’s relaxing — and repeatable
Many people who have IV therapy are surprised to learn how relaxing the experience can be. Sure, the idea of getting a needle might seem unpleasant — but after that initial “pinch,” there’s no discomfort at all.
What’s more, IV therapy requires no participation on your part. All you have to do is lie back and relax — surf the internet, read, listen to music, or just nap — while the IV does all the work.
Plus, IV therapy can be repeated as your needs evolve, ensuring you receive maximum benefits for your goals and your overall health and wellness.
