IV Therapy Q&A

What is IV therapy?

IV (intravenous) therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream. This gives you a general health boost or helps treat specific symptoms.

You should get most of the nutrition your body needs from your diet. But many people don’t. Another problem is conditions that affect your digestion and reduce the nutrients your body gets from the food you eat.

IV therapy bypasses your digestive system so that the micronutrients enter your blood and get straight to work. The process is straightforward. Your provider puts a needle in your vein — usually in the arm. The needle is on the end of a tube connected to a bag filled with an IV infusion. You sit back and relax while the infusion drips slowly into your arm.

What problems can IV therapy treat?

IV therapy can help with various common problems, including:

  • Headaches
  • Dull skin
  • Lifeless hair
  • Brittle and weak nails
  • Sinus congestion
  • Allergy symptoms
  • Digestive upsets
  • Fatigue

 

Healing Head to Toe’s IV infusions can help you recover from illness and boost your energy levels. They also increase your immunity so that you’re less likely to get sick.

If you’re on a medically supervised weight loss program with a restrictive diet, IV therapy ensures that you get all the nutrients you need. Some nutrients also help you lose weight.

What are the ingredients in IV therapy?

Healing Head to Toe offers a range of IV infusions tailored to specific needs. They contain nutrients like:

B vitamins

The B vitamins perform many vital jobs, from keeping your hair and nails strong to hormone production and nerve function. They include vitamin B1 (thiamin), B6 (pantothenic acid), and B7 (biotin).

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is well-known for its role in boosting your immune system.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is present in some foods, but you also get a lot through sunlight on your skin. If you don’t get sufficient exposure to the sun, you could be deficient in vitamin D.

Trace minerals

Phosphorus, magnesium, and other trace minerals are essential for proper organ function.

Amino acids

Amino acids, which come from proteins, have many essentials roles. Healing Head to Toe’s IV therapies contain L-carnitine and taurine, which help your body turn fat into energy. Glutamine helps your immune system and keeps your digestive system healthy. Proline is essential for collagen production in your skin and tissues.

Glutathione

Glutathione is an antioxidant that helps rid your body of harmful cells and supports immune system function.
