FAQ

Hydration therapy is a simple treatment that delivers fluids directly into your bloodstream through a small IV inserted into your arm. The fluids may also include vitamins, electrolytes, antioxidants and even medication in the mix. By allowing fluids to circulate quickly through your body, hydration therapy rapidly replenishes fluids in a way that drinking fluids can’t.

Hydration therapy can be used for a number of reasons. Some people seek IV hydration as a hangover cure or for migraine treatment. Others find it useful for athletic recovery, stress relief, or as a way to rehydrate after a long flight, an illness or a hot day in the sun. If your body is crying out for fluids and that lack of fluids is leaving you not feeling your best, hydration therapy can help.

Many signs of dehydration are pretty obvious. Increased thirst is a sign. In fact, if you’re feeling thirsty, you’re probably already dehydrated. Dry mouth, headache, nausea, fatigue, dizziness and dark urine are other signals that your body is crying out for fluids.

You can get dehydrated when you lose more fluids than you take in, like when you sweat during exercise or spend time outside in hot weather. Drinking too much alcohol causes dehydration and so can long airplane flights. You can also become dehydrated when you’ve been sick with fever, vomiting or diarrhea, or even if you just forget to sip water throughout the day.

Whenever you drink fluids, your small intestine gets first dibs. So it will soak up most of what you send its way before the rest of your body can benefit. If you down massive amounts of water too quickly, it can upset your digestive system and may even cause your sodium levels to drop to dangerous levels. If you’re dehydrated, IV fluids can get the job done more quickly and efficiently than drinking water.

Hydration therapy only takes about 30 to 45 minutes.The only discomfort you may feel is a slight pinch when the IV needle is inserted. Other than that, you can just sit back and relax. By the time your treatment is done, you’ll likely already start feeling better.

The cocktail you receive during hydration therapy will depend on why you’re getting the treatment. You’ll get a specially chosen mix of fluids with vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and/or medication.

Our bodies require a daily intake of essential vitamins and minerals in order to properly function. If one of these vitamins is deficient, it can result in serious health problems.
