Benefits of Naturopathic Intravenous Therapy

We would all love our diets to give us the exact amount of nutrients necessary for us to survive and thrive. Unfortunately, in the modern world, this is becoming more and more difficult to achieve. Diets based off temporary fads, cultural dietary habits, and agricultural practices are reducing the amount of beneficial vitamins and minerals that we consume in a day. In our current day and age, our food and lifestyle habits simply do not pack enough of the vitamins and minerals that we require.

When people begin to notice that they are vitamin and mineral deficient, they automatically turn to supplements even though this may not be the safest or most effective form of nutrient retention. This is where Intravenous Vitamin Therapy (IV Therapy) comes in.

Through dripping essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids right into our blood streams, IV therapy aims to supply the body with the nutrients in needs to function well. Delivering the nutrients through an IV drip allows the nutrients to bypass the digestive process in order for the cells in our bodies to get the most effective and full-bodied nutrients and the most efficient results.

Intravenous Therapy is good for treating:

• Adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue
• Stress and burnout
• Pre and post-athletic events/ performance
• Acute or chronic infection
• Detoxification
• Fibromyalgia
• Anti-aging
• Anxiety/ depression
• Malabsorption and digestive conditions (IBS, Crohn’s Ulcerative colitis, Celiac)
• Poor Immunity
• Parkinson’s disease

Here are 5 reasons you should consider Intravenous Therapy:

• Customizable and Potent: Naturopathic doctors are highly trained to identify and understand the medical conditions of their patients. This allows them to prescribe the right amount for nutrients for each individual patient.
• Fast and Effective: Most medications and vitamins are taken orally which means they go through the digestive system. Wen this happens, the vitamins and minerals are stripped of some of its nutrients and limit its beneficial impact. The drip method of Intravenous therapy means that the nutrient gets delivered to cells at it’s highest concentration, making it far more potent and effective.
• Reduces Pill Load: Intravenous Therapy means fewer pills to purchase and swallow, which will eventually reduce cost and hassle.
• It Is Safe: Naturopathic doctors require an additional license to administer intravenous therapy. It is also very rare for people to have any reaction to IV therapy.
• It Is a Preventative Therapy: Modern medicine focuses on reacting to and dealing with a disease whereas Naturopathic medicine aims to take care of the body in order to prevent disease. Through IV Therapy, the body gets the nutrients it needs to fight off illness and disease with the high dosage of vitamins and minerals.
