What are the Benefits of Myer’s Cocktail?

by

Myer’s cocktail is an IV Therapy that has benefits beyond rehydration.

Before we get into the benefits of Myer’s cocktail first we need to understand what’s in it and why it’s beneficial for your health.

Myer’s cocktail is a type of IV therapy we offer at SOHMA Integrated Medicine in Long Beach CA. Yes, the same kind of IV drip that is used in medicine and hospitals can be used as therapy. Myer’s cocktail is a perfectly crafted blend of nutrients and vitamins including Vitamin C, B Complex, Magnesium and Calcium suspended in a saline solution delivered through an IV drip directly to your bloodstream.

Detoxification and Hydration

Myer’s cocktail is used for many reasons, one of which is rehydration and detoxification. Since you are receiving the Myer’s cocktail through an IV drip, your body absorbs the fluids more efficiently than if you were to drink some water. 

With such a concentrated amount of fluids entering the body it helps you to detoxify from accumulated toxins that may be in your system from your day to day life. Whether its from poor habits or simply because you live in a large metropolitan city and have to deal with the pollution and chemicals that come with it, a Myer’s cocktail can help.

Often you see people rehydrating with Myer’s cocktail after difficult days exercising or working. Though it’s not exclusively used for these reasons.

Boosts Energy Levels

It would be great if a balanced and healthy lifestyle was possible for everyone however, we understand that not everyone is able to. Myer’s cocktail can help with your lack of energy with the vitamin B complex which can give you the boost you need. There is no need to reach out for an energy drink filled with chemicals, sugars and caffeine. Myer’s cocktail can give you that boost you need to get through your week naturally without filling your body with unnecessary junk like energy drinks that only give you an artificial boost of energy before your body crashes.

Boosts Immune System

Myer’s cocktail contains Vitamin C which is well known for helping your body’s immune system. Vitamin C helps prevent and fight common viral infections like the cold. Supplementing your meals or drinks with Vitamin C can help but consuming too many foods with Vitamin C can irritate the stomach. With Myer’s cocktail IV therapy you bypass the digestive system altogether which can destroy Vitamin C before you can absorb it. The IV drip lets your body absorb the Vitamin C faster, and at a higher concentration.

Lack of Vitamin C can lead to you feeling weak, tired and irritable. It can cause you to have dry skin which makes it difficult to heal wounds. In some cases Vitamin C deficiency can cause joint pain and swelling which can lead to arthritis.

Helps with Migraines

Migraine pains can be incredibly debilitating, often not even letting you sit in a well lit room. Once again Myer’s cocktail can help, the blend of nutrients can work together to reduce the pain and symptoms caused by migraines. The anti-inflammatory properties of Vitamin C can help relieve some of the tension built up in your neck muscles and head. Vitamin B complex has been shown to reduce the duration and intensity of migraines. When balanced correctly it may even reduce the frequency of migraines.

Regularly using Myer’s cocktail the magnesium and calcium can work together to also prevent future migraines. Lower levels of magnesium can result in constricted blood vessels in the brain which can be one of the triggers for migraines. A balanced intake of calcium has been linked with reducing the frequency of migraines as well due to calcium playing an important role in regulating muscle functions like relaxation and contractions.

However, depending on the severity of the condition the patient may be recommended to do more. Based on how bad the patient is feeling they may be recommended to have 2 IV therapy sessions per week until their condition improves. Once the condition has improved, the amount of IV therapy sessions will be reduced or ended as determined by the patient.

For those with athletic lifestyles, one session every 2 weeks to maintain a good balance of nutrients should be enough. Though you may want to have IV therapy sessions to recover for a particularly grueling workout.

Immune System Support

In today’s environment it is more important than ever to make sure your body’s immune system is defending you from infections. One of the most effective methods to support an immune system is through IV therapy.

What is Vitamin C IV Therapy and Why You Should Know About it

by

Vitamin C, often used as an immune system booster, as well as a supplement to prevent or shorten the length of viral infections like the common cold. But it does so much more, and it is far more important to your wellness than you might have thought. Today we’re going to see what Vitamin C is used for in your body, what happens when you have a shortage of Vitamin C and the best way to take a Vitamin C supplement without risking irritation from the foods you may have to eat.

What Does Your Body Do With Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is an antioxidant which helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals being molecules produced when the body breaks down food or is exposed to toxins like city pollution, tobacco some and radiation from the sun or medical procedures.Your body will also use Vitamin C in many different ways such as:

  • Creating Blood Vessels
  • Forming Cartilage
  • Building Muscle
  • Developing Collagen in Bone
  • Storing Iron

You often hear people say “Vitamin C helps when you get sick” and it is true. Vitamin C has been shown to Improve your immune system’s ability to fight viral fungal and bacterial infections.

Importance of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is important and valuable to your body’s well being. Unfortunately our body can not produce it on its own, therefore you have to supplement your body with foods rich in vitamin C in order to avoid Vitamin C deficiency which can cause:

  • Feeling Weak
  • Tiredness
  • Irritable
  • Rough Skin
  • Slow Healing Wounds
  • Joint Pain

In severe cases of Vitamin C deficiency, called Scurvy you will see more extreme symptoms like:

  • Bruising
  • Dental/Gum Problems
  • Dry Skin and Hair
  • Anemia

By increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables or supplements high in Vitamin C orally usually corrects the deficiency. But our bodies are not adequate at absorbing Vitamin C, and at high doses can irritate the stomach and digestive system.

IV Therapy, an Efficient Way to Absorb Vitamin C

The best way to combat the issue of orally ingesting Vitamin C is through IV therapy. 

Through the IV drip the body can more efficiently absorb the nutrients being offered. Giving you the ability to take advantage of a more concentrated dose of vitamins and minerals without having to deal with potential gastrointestinal discomfort by bypassing the digestive system.

At SOHMA Integrated Medicine in Long Beach CA we offer Myer’s cocktail IV therapy, which features a crafted blend of Vitamin C, B Complex, Magnesium and Calcium.

Take Care of Yourself, it’s Important! 

It is very important to take the time to care for yourself. Protecting your immune system is often overlooked even though your immune system is the first line of defense when it comes to your health. By offering your body enough nutrients such as Vitamin C it will help protect you from various infections such as bacterial, fungal and viral.

But you can always do a little bit more in order to maintain a healthy body. Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy can be used on its own but feel free to ask the staff at SOHMA about other complementary therapies that work well with our Myer’s Cocktail IV therapy such as ozone therapy which has amazing anti-inflammatory properties that fortifies your immune system and reduces the viral replication in your body.

At SOHMA we want to be able to work with you in order to ensure health and wellness in a natural way. By helping your body heal and recover without the use of drugs or surgery.
