Naturopathic Advice
Intravenous therapy can benefit you!
Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers relatively high doses of vitamins
and minerals directly into the blood. IV treatments can provide
rapid, effective relief of symptoms, deliver a much needed energy
boost if you are run-down and promote overall wellness.
IV
therapy has documented benefits for treating a variety of conditions
including recovery of energy after illness, improved athletic
performance, detoxification and purification, immune balance and
support, digestive disorders, migraines, asthma and allergies, and
Parkinson’s disease.
IV therapy also provides the necessary nutrients to reduce the
side-effects and improve the quality of life in persons undergoing
conventional cancer treatment.
IV therapy helps correct low nutrient levels more quickly and
without the potential side-effects, like diarrhea and heartburn, of
high oral doses of vitamins and minerals. As a result, there are
tremendous benefits on metabolism, energy, and disease prevention
and/or treatment.
Injecting vitamins and minerals directly into the blood bypasses the
digestive system and liver filtration system and therefore provides
a more efficient delivery of nutrients directly into cells without
unwanted side-effects.
Vitamins and minerals are delivered directly into your veins using
two different methods.
The first method uses an IV pole and plastic bag, containing the
vitamins and minerals, and a special apparatus that uses a
gravity-fed drip to slowly introduce the nutrients into your blood.
This method takes between 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on your
individual treatment needs.
The second delivery method uses a large syringe to slowly
“push” the vitamins and minerals directly into the blood.
This method takes between 15 and 20 minutes.
Just
like every other Naturopathic medical therapy, the amount, duration,
frequency and type of IV treatment prescribed are based on your
individual health needs.
