A growing number of health-conscious people are choosing intravenous (IV) therapy because of its benefits. In IV therapy, vitamins and minerals are infused directly into your bloodstream through an IV infusion. Infusion treatments can be used to increase stamina, treat chronic health conditions, or improve hydration, depending on your goals. Essentially, IV vitamin therapy and IV hydration therapy are formulated to help replenish, restore and detoxify your body faster than, say, drinking water, eating healthy, or taking medication orally. They deliver specially formulated cocktails of nutrients, vitamins, electrolytes, antioxidants, and sometimes even medications via an IV. New trends in IV therapy include treating flu symptoms, hangovers, jet lag, and exercise fatigue. A hydration bar, a lounge, a spa, or a wellness center usually has this service on hand. It is simple and fast to complete the process. A customer fills out a health profile form, relaxes in a recliner, chooses from a menu of infusions or "cocktails," and then receives vitamins, herbs, and fluids via an IV line.
