Who Needs IV Therapy?

August 3, 2023 by Dr. Daniel Hoover

IV therapy uses the same kind of IV drip used in medical applications while in a therapeutic setting. If you’ve ever felt tired after a hard day at work, or you’ve been feeling off because you’ve had poor sleep? IV therapy can help with this, and many other issues that can commonly affect most people.

In today’s article we’ll go over what IV Therapy is and who can benefit from it to facilitate whether or not you should consider IV therapy for yourself.

Myer’s Cocktail IV Therapy

As we begin to age, it can become more and more difficult to maintain a nutritional balance within your body. At SOHMA Integrated Medicine in Long Beach CA we offer the Myer’s cocktail IV therapy. This is a perfectly crafted blend of Vitamin C, B complex, Magnesium and Calcium. This blend of nutrients is perfect to help you regain that nutritional balance. Which in turn can help you to improve your immune system functions. It’s also been shown to help manage symptoms caused by adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy is also given through an IV, ozone has amazing anti-inflammatory properties and may act as a disinfectant. This can help to prevent viral replication which may reduce the amount of time a patient deals with infections. Ozone can also help improve local circulation and patients report an increase of energy after the ozone therapy is completed.

What Are The Benefits of IV Therapy?

As previously stated, IV therapy can be used to help replenish nutrients and fluids after you’ve physically exerted yourself through a day. Many patients notice signs of  increase in energy levels as well as mental clarity and improved mood while their body absorbs the nutrients. This makes IV therapy great for hard workers and athletes. However, those aren’t the only aspects that IV therapy can help you with. In fact IV therapy has a multitude of benefits.

Having an imbalance of nutrients can also lead to headaches and migraines. Because the nutrients are delivered through an IV drip, it bypasses the digestive system. When consuming supplements orally, they first need to go through the digestive system. This can cause the nutrients to take much longer for the body to absorb and in some cases the body can end up destroying some of the vitamins and minerals. Meaning you don’t always absorb the same amount that you consume. With an IV drip the nutrients are available immediately to the bloodstream. This can then help reduce swelling and tension which can be the cause of many headaches and migraines.

Hangovers can be difficult to manage, and oftentimes occurs when you don’t drink enough water in between alcoholic beverages or perhaps the night was incredibly enjoyable. Myer’s cocktail IV therapy can help to replenish the fluids your body craves after a night of drinking while Vitamin C and Magnesium can help reduce the swelling which can cause the notorious hangover symptom, the headache.

Is IV Therapy for Me?

IV therapy has a wide variety of benefits to many different people. It is generally seen as a safe way to deliver vitamins, minerals, fluids and electrolytes. Despite this, it’s important for you to inform the staff at SOHA if you are currently on any medication as there is a possibility that some medicine can have a contrasting effect with the vitamins and minerals in the IV blend. Just like injections, IV therapy can run the risk of infection. For this reason its best practice to only allow trained professionals to administer IV therapy.
