How does Myer’s Cocktails Help Hangovers

March 10, 2023 by Dr. Daniel Hoover

Myers Cocktail IV Therapy

We’ve all been there, waking up Saturday or Sunday morning with that throbbing headache after a night of celebration. A hangover is generally harmless but can cause nausea, headaches, irritability, and leave your body feeling sluggish. Though everyone has a different reaction to alcohol, hangovers can also vary.

Some say the reason for hangovers is because you borrow happiness from the following day. This doesn’t have to be the case; however, with Myer’s Cocktail IV Therapy you can ease some of the symptoms of a hangover to help you get back to enjoying your life.

Join us as we explore how Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy can help you eliminate those pesky hangovers.

What is a Hangover?

There are a variety of reasons why a hangover occurs. Alcohol has a few effects on the body. It causes increased urination, sleep disruption, gastrointestinal lining irritation, and inflammation. This results in the aforementioned nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and headaches. Because everybody is different, predicting how many drinks would cause a hangover is difficult. However, whenever someone drinks to intoxication, a hangover is likely the following day. Though with Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy, you no longer have to give up an entire day to recover from a hangover.

What’s a Myer’s Cocktail?

Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy is a perfectly crafted blend of Vitamin C, B Complex, Magnesium, and Calcium. Myer’s Cocktail has been shown to have many benefits. The blend in Myer’s Cocktail is designed to help with a variety of ailments, including:

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 
  • Adrenal Fatigue
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Depression
  • Migraines
  • Respiratory Problems
  • Acute/Chronic Infections
  • Detoxification

It’s also used to help boost the immune system and help with rehydration, among other benefits.

How Does Myers Cocktail IV Therapy Help with Hangovers?

 Many cultures have their “hangover cures,” though these rarely work and are often unpleasant concoctions. On the other hand, the Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy blend uses nutrients to help your body regain balance and fight off the symptoms of a hangover. When you drink, you often fail to stay hydrated, not only because it’s easy to forget to drink water throughout the night but because alcohol causes you to use the restroom more often, and you end up losing more fluids than on a typical night. Because the Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy is delivered via IV drip, it provides the body with immediate hydration.

Hydration isn’t the only thing being delivered through the IV drip. The nutrients are also delivered through the IV allowing the body to use them instantly. Typically when you take vitamin or mineral supplements, you take them orally. But the body needs to break down the supplement and absorb the reminder through the digestive system. Myer’s cocktail immediately makes the vitamins and minerals available immediately to the body, bypassing the digestive system. This means you receive fluids and nutrients faster and at higher concentrations, which means you’ll feel the positive effects of the Myer’s Cocktail incredibly fast.

The fluids combined with the nutrients in the Myer’s Cocktail can relieve you from your hangover by rehydrating you, providing antioxidants to reduce swelling and help your body get rid of toxins from drinking. This blend also helps to alleviate fatigue caused by the alcohol and helps boost your energy with Vitamin B complex.

What is a Myer’s Cocktail Good For?

January 20, 2023 by Dr. Daniel Hoover

Myer’s Cocktails is an IV Therapy that supplements your body’s natural cellular processes.

The Myer’s cocktail is a form of IV therapy that many athletes and celebrities have popularized in recent years. This form of therapy uses the same IV seen in a medical setting to deliver medicine to patients. Instead of medication Myer’s cocktail IV Therapy is used to deliver nutrients and fluids to the body in a therapeutic environment. 

The benefit of using an IV to deliver nutrients instead of a supplement taken orally is that with an IV your body has the nutrients ready for absorption through the bloodstream immediately and at higher concentrations. Although oral supplementation can suffice for some, there is a noticeable delay and effect compared to the Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy. A Myer’s cocktail is a blend of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex, Magnesium, and Calcium.

What is Myer’s cocktail good for? And where can I find a Myer’s cocktail near me?

SOHMA Integrative Medicine of Long Beach, CA, offers the Myer’s IV therapy. As for what it’s good for, join me as we answer that question.

Boosts Immune System

Many nutrients in the Myer’s cocktail provide enhanced cellular function. Vitamin B complex promotes the formation of antibodies to help with this response. Vitamin C often fortifies the immune system by supporting multiple cellular functions.

Improves Blood Circulation

Healthy blood circulation can help reduce fatigue and improve physical performance, which is necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The Magnesium and Vitamin C in the Myer’s cocktail is often used to promote and enhance cellular health and blood circulation. At the same time, the Vitamin B complex in the Myer’s cocktail improves blood circulation by aiding in the production of red blood cells and iron absorption. 

Mood Enhancer

Serotonin is a naturally occurring hormone that is connected to our mood. Often called the “feel good” hormone, serotonin helps stave off anxiety and depression. Serotonin can also help you feel confident in yourself and raise your self-esteem. An essential resource in the production of serotonin is Vitamin B-12.

Helps with Migraines

Migraines can be debilitating headaches for many adults, often resulting in sensitivity to sound and light. The pain can often result from inflammation and tension built up in the neck muscles and head. The body can take advantage of Vitamin C’s anti-inflammatory properties to help relieve some of that tension which can help reduce the duration of the migraine. 

Regular use of Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy has helped reduce the severity and frequency of migraines. Magnesium can cause blood vessels in the brain to constrict, which can trigger migraines. Calcium is often tied to bone health. It is also required in muscle functions such as contractions and relaxation.

Hydration

Myer’s cocktail IV therapy provides the nutrients through a saline and electrolyte solution. When absorbed by the body, it increases its hydration levels. Due to the fluids being delivered directly to the body without going through the digestive system, the body can hydrate much faster than by drinking a glass of water.

Does Myer’s Cocktail Help with Fatigue?

January 18, 2023 by Dr. Daniel Hoover

Fatigue is a problem that many people face. Myer’s Cocktails has a mix of vitamins that can help boost your energy levels.

Generally, fatigue has been found to affect nearly 38% of working adults, with the majority of people affected being women. Several reasons, including infections, malnutrition, insomnia, and more, can cause fatigue. This makes diagnosing fatigue difficult as it can be a symptom of many conditions. For this reason, treatment for fatigue has also proven to be challenging as primary care providers often overlook it due to the difficulty surrounding its diagnosis.

There are a few tell-tale signs that you may suffer from fatigue, and Myer’s cocktail can help with those symptoms. Join me as we explore how fatigue affects your body and how Myer’s cocktail can help.

What is Myer’s Cocktail?

Though people often believe that taking a multivitamin can provide any missing nutrients the body may need, many don’t realize that the digestive system can sometimes break down nutrients before the body can use them. The Myer’s cocktail IV therapy, on the other hand, bypasses the digestive system altogether. By delivering the nutrients directly to the bloodstream, the body has the full availability of the vitamins and minerals at a higher concentration. Because you bypass the digestive system, the body now has more immediate access to the nutrients that the Myer’s cocktail provides.

The Myer’s cocktail is a form of IV therapy. The IV is a delivery method for fluid containing nutrients the body needs for regular function. The Myer’s cocktail blend ingredients include Vitamin C, B Complex, Magnesium, and Calcium.

Where can I find a Myer’s Cocktail near me?

SOHMA Integrative Medicine in Long Beach, CA, offers IV therapy, including Myer’s Cocktail and Ozone therapy.

How Fatigue Can Affect You

There are many signs that you are dealing with fatigue. Most notable is a lack of energy, motivation, drowsiness, and a general feeling of not caring about outcomes. Although fatigue is a normal and useful resonance to physical activities and stressful situations, when fatigue is not relieved by enough rest and a proper diet, it can be cause for concern. Your primary care provider should evaluate it as it can lead to more complications, such as chronic fatigue syndrome.                                                                                                                                                        

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Chronic fatigue syndrome is one of those conditions where symptoms of fatigue persist for over six months and doesn’t resolve with adequate rest. It is often diagnosed based on the presence of a group of symptoms of fatigue after all other possible causes of fatigue have been ruled out. Due to there being many shared symptoms of CFS with other conditions, CFS is difficult to diagnose.

How Myers Cocktail can Help

The ingredients in the Myer’s cocktail can help fight off fatigue. Vitamin C is considered a mood enhancer. It enables the body to synthesize dopamine and adrenaline, the hormone that controls our “fight or flight.” Vitamin B complex has several benefits to our body’s energy levels. Vitamin B12 helps form red blood cells and helps convert fat and protein to energy. Magnesium helps the body get rid of lactic acid in the muscles. Lactate acid usually builds up in the muscles during exercise, leading to fatigue and muscle soreness. When the body has low levels of calcium, it can lead to extreme fatigue. It can cause tiredness and generally result in muscle weakness.

How Often Can You Get IV Therapy?

August 25, 2022 by Dr. Daniel Hoover

IV Therapy is a healthy treatment to help with many conditions.

Did you know IV can be used as a therapy?

At some point you may have seen an IV drip in a medical drama or at your local hospital. 

At SOHMA Integrative Medicine of Long Beach CA we offer two forms of IV therapy. We offer the Myer’s cocktail and Ozone therapy. Both of these therapies have a variety of benefits which we’ll go over today. As well as answer the question of how often you can get IV therapy?

What is Myer’s Cocktail

Let’s begin with the Myer’s cocktail. Myer’s cocktail is an IV therapy with a crafted blend of nutrients in a saline solution. This includes Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, Calcium and Magnesium. 

As our bodies age, it begins to absorb nutrients differently. Making it necessary to supplement our diets with vitamins and minerals. We need this to manage our energy levels and keep our immune system healthy. Although you can take supplements orally, the digestive system is inefficient at absorbing all the nutrients you take. IV therapy allows us to bypass the digestive system which can otherwise destroy some of the nutrients you’re attempting to supplement.

This leads the body to absorb the nutrients in the Myer’s cocktail directly into the bloodstream. Allowing the body to make use of them at a higher concentration and much faster than if consumed orally. Some of the benefits of the Myer’s cocktail include:

  • Boost to the immune system
  • Boost of energy
  • Rehydration
  • Detoxification

Myer’s cocktail has also been used to help treat some conditions like:

  • Asthma 
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Migraines
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone is most commonly known for being found in the earth’s atmosphere creating a layer that protects us from ultraviolet rays from the sun. However ozone can be used therapeutically here on the surface as well. Ozone is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, and also acts as a disinfectant. Ozone can help prevent viral replication in the and may kill bacteria in the body.

Our immune system is the first line of defense our body has to prevent infections. But as we age our natural immune system also begins to decline. After a short 30 minute session of Ozone therapy the immune system becomes stimulated and aids healing. Ozone’s anti-inflammatory helps the body focus on fighting off pathogens. This can improve your blood circulation and may cleanse your arteries from potential viral and bacterial infection by oxidizing the toxins.

Ozone therapy can also help manage symptoms from”

  • Arthritis
  • Joint pain
  • Respiratory problems
  • Allergies
  • Skin conditions
  • Chronic fatigue

And other conditions, if you have any questions about how helpful Ozone therapy can be, feel free to ask the helpful staff at SOHMA about the benefits of IV therapy.

How Often can I get IV therapy?

Like many complicated questions, it varies from person to person.

For Myer’s cocktail most people can have this IV therapy about once or twice per week. Many patients see a difference after just the first session. Some patients notice a notable improvement of their conditions after about 4 weeks. Afterwards you should be able to tell if the IV therapy is showing the desired results. 

For Ozone therapy once again it depends on the condition you are trying to treat. Oftentimes you may require therapy three or four sessions per week. Just like any other treatment, it takes time to see long term benefits.

When administered by a professional, adverse side effects from Myer’s cocktail IV therapy and Ozone therapy are extremely rare. Though you should make sure to let the administrator of the IV therapy know if you have any allergies or are taking any medication so that you can minimize any risk factors.

Does Myer’s Cocktail Help the Skin?

August 25, 2022 by Dr. Daniel Hoover

Myer’s Cocktail IV Therapy is proven to have many benefits including skin care.

Myer’s Cocktails For Skin Health

Myer’s cocktail IV therapy has been shown to help in many situations. Originally developed as a  micronutrient therapy by Dr. Myer’s in 1984 to help with chronic conditions like fatigue, asthma, migraines and more. The Myer’s cocktail has shown to help with many different conditions and may have benefits as a therapy and treatment. In recent times many athletic people have used IV therapy to keep hydrated and healthy.

Myer’s cocktail has been shown to help with a variety of ailments, as well as helping the body stay healthy and hydrated. Some of the ailments Myer’s cocktail treats include:

  • Migraines
  • Upper respiratory conditions’
  • Detoxification
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Acute muscle spasms

Myer’s cocktail has additional benefits for both physical health and mental health. This includes the aforementioned hydration as well as:

  • Detoxification
  • Boost energy
  • Immune system support
  • Improved cardiovascular health
  • Improved nerve health
  • Promotes relaxation
  • Reduces anxiety and stress
  • Helps with hangovers

However, the Myer’s cocktail has some cosmetic benefits as well. Today we’re going to break down how some of the ingredients in the Myer’s cocktail can also help maintain and improve your skin condition.

What’s In Myer’s Cocktail?

Before we understand why Myer’s cocktail is good for your skin, we should first understand what’s in Myer’s cocktail. 

At SOHMA Integrative Medicine of Long Beach CA the Myer’s cocktail we offer is a perfectly crafted blend of vitamins and minerals suspended in a saline solution. The blend includes Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, Calcium and Magnesium. These nutrients need to be balanced within the body for it to properly function. For some people keeping this balance is difficult, that’s where the Myer’s cocktail comes in. An easy way for the body to absorb the needed nutrients to help people get out of pain and into balance, and back to play.

How Does the Myer’s Cocktail Work?

The Myer’s cocktail is an IV therapy, yes the same kind of IV used in the medical field is used therapeutically with the Myer’s cocktail. 

What  makes IV therapy better than taking more vitamin supplements?

That is a fair question, IV therapy foregoes the digestive system. When you consume supplements only a small portion of the vitamins make it to the bloodstream. The digestive system tends to destroy much of what is consumed orally meaning you don’t receive as concentrated a dose as you would like.

The Myer’s cocktail IV therapy goes directly into the bloodstream allowing your body to absorb the nutrients and fluids faster, and since we’re bypassing the digestive system your body receives a more concentrated dose of the nutrients.

Myer’s Cocktail and Your Skin

Vitamin C is normally found in high levels in the skin. As a key ingredient in Myers’ cocktail Vitamin C is used by the body to help the skin improve wrinkles of the face and neck as well as improve your overall skin texture and appearance. Vitamin C is well-known as a skincare ingredient which can protect the skin from damage caused by the sun.

The accumulation of toxins that we absorb as we live and age can affect our skin cells. Myer’s cocktail helps to detoxify some of those toxins which allows the body to keep absorbing nutrients properly. Because of how fast the body can make use of the nutrients in the Myer’s cocktail, toxins are removed from the body leaving rejuvenated skin.
