IV Infusions

• Make sure you are well hydrated prior to your visit. We suggest drinking 1-2 16oz. bottles of water. Dehydration can make it difficult to insert an IV.
• Make sure you eat something or have on hand prior to your visit. We suggest a high protein snack, such as nuts, seeds, a protein bar, cheese, yogurt, or eggs. Low blood sugar can make you feel weak, lightheaded, or dizzy.

The IVs used during you Intravenous (IV) infusion therapy are the same that you would find in a hospital. Instead of a clinical experience though, our IV infusions are given in the comfort of your home or place of choice leave you feeling calm, relaxed, and refreshed. All of our infusions last from 45-60 min. Our friendly and attentive staff will keep you calm, cared for, and comfortable during your infusion. Patients find the experience tranquil and healing. Patients leave feeling vibrant, energized, and refreshed.

• Apply pressure to site for 2 minutes after IV has been removed
• Keep Band-Aid in place for 1 hour
• Warm packs and elevating your arm can be used for any bruising at the site
• Cold packs can be used for pain relief and to decrease any swelling at the site
• Any swelling at the injection site should be significantly reduced in 24 hours
• Post IV infusion symptoms are uncommon. Dehydration is the cause of most symptoms and concerns.
• We encourage you to drink at least 1-2 16oz. bottles of water after your IV infusion.
• If enough water is not consumed, you may experience any of the following symptoms: headaches, nausea, joint pain, blurred vision, cramping (GI and/or muscular), mental confusion or disorientation.

Most patients experience significant overall improvements:

• Better energy

• . Improved Skin appearance
• Improvement of their complaints
• Overall feelings of well-being

Patients commonly report one of two patterns after an IV Vitamin Infusion Therapy:

• Patients generally feel better right away. Due to a busy lifestyle, many people are chronically dehydrated and deficient in vitamins and minerals causing them to not feel well. Once the patient is hydrated and the nutrients are replaced, their symptoms improve quickly.
• Patients sometimes feel tired or unwell. These patients are generally in the process of detoxifying. When toxins are pulled out of tissues, they re-enter the blood stream. They remain poisons, but they are now on their way OUT instead of on their way IN. Even when patients do not feel well at this stage, the process is one of healing and cleansing. After this period, an overall improvement in one’s sense of well-being is generally reported.
