THE HEALING SANCTUARY

IV Therapy

Intravenous therapy, commonly known as IV therapy, has shown to support overall health and effectively treat multiple conditions.

IV therapy transfers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fluids directly into the bloodstream via an IV drip. This method of delivering micronutrients has been used for many years.

We offer personalized and professional IV therapy in an environment meant for relaxation and comfort.

Reasons for IV Infusions

The multiple reasons for receiving IV infusions include:

Support of Overall Health

The benefits of IV therapy support overall health, with treatments proving restorative, strengthening, and customized results.

 Hydration through IV therapy can restore nutrients lost through stress or illness, IV blends can supply detoxification for renewal, and customized treatments can be formed to support the overall health of individual clients.

Treatment for Specific Conditions

IV therapy can be used in treating numerous specific health conditions. A health provider can help determine the IV composition, dosage, and frequency to help address individual patients’ conditions.

Also, IV therapy may help relieve symptoms related to chronic disease.

High, Fast Absorption

IV therapy is characterized by a 90-100% absorption rate, as compared to a 20-50% absorption rate when nutrients are taken orally. This means that IV therapy allows for higher doses of targeted supplements.

When foods or supplements are consumed in pill or liquid form, they need to travel through our digestive systems before being utilized by our bodies. Pills, in particular, are associated with low absorption rates. Since IV administration allows nutrients to enter the bloodstream immediately, fast absorption is another benefit of intravenous therapy.

Transition to Oral Supplements

IV therapy can allow for transition to appropriate oral supplements. Healthcare providers can help arrange for and direct such transitions.

Most Common IV Therapy Mixes

Specific mixes serve different purposes, and we can help identify which mix aligns with your situation. Common mixes are the Myers’ Cocktail, Immune, procaine infusions, and Vitamin C treatments.

The Myers’ Cocktail is by far the most sought-after IV nutritional therapy. People seek this IV for relief from migraines, hangovers, stress, and chronic conditions. The basis for a Myers’ Cocktail mix is the inclusion of vitamins C and B, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. Different facilities, however, may include different nutrient amounts in administered Myers’ Cocktail mixes.

We believe our recipes are perfected with the necessary amounts of each vitamin and mineral. The Myers Cocktail IV we administer is intended to boost energy and enhance hair, skin, and organs through cellular rejuvenation.

IV therapy can be used to enhance immunity, with nutrients such as Vitamin C and zinc being directed into the bloodstream for illness prevention, expedited recovery, and energy enhancement. IV therapy supplements immunity by supporting immune cell functions such as pathogen removal and antibody production.

Procaine IV infusions can improve the quality of life for those struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. As health providers see fit, procaine IV therapy can be added to treatment plans for additional symptom management.

When procaine is administered intravenously, it can act as a reset for an overactive nervous system. This type of calming of the central nervous system can also help with nerve pain and headaches.

Procaine is broken down by enzymes in the body tissue, so it can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure in some cases.

Many people are aware of the benefits of Vitamin C. What you may not be aware of is how much more effective Vitamin C is when received intravenously. Vitamin C can reach much higher levels when administered directly into the bloodstream.

A boost to the immune system is a commonly known benefit of this vitamin. However, people may wait until surrounded by illness or starting to feel under the weather before starting to actively take in Vitamin C. An IV can expedite Vitamin C internalization and keep the immune system strong. Most people seek Vitamin C IV therapy to expedite recovery from an illness like the everyday cold or to keep the immune system strong enough to fight off germs.

Vitamin C may be of particular interest since the cold and flu season is extended due to long winters in Idaho. Also, because of the way Vitamin C IV therapy affects the immune system, this treatment can be a good mitigation option for medications that have side effects resulting in a weakened immune system.

The statements concerning these mixes have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

15 Benefits of IV Therapy

Intravenous infusions have proven to provide recipients with multiple benefits. IV therapy:

  • Can boost blood flow, help maintain vital organ function, and increase cellular energy production (by combining various vitamins and detoxifying agents)
  • Promotes better cardiovascular health
  • By-passes the digestive system, which would otherwise lower the amount of vitamins your body can absorb
  • Treats certain medical conditions
  • Aids in resolution and prevention of illness by boosting the immune system with antioxidants
  • Provides your body with natural energy
  • Increases cellular healing rates
  • Reduces nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain while receiving full nutrient benefits
  • Helps to maintain a healthy weight (adding Carnitine, Alpha-lipoic acid)
  • Increases energy levels
  • Can enhance your endurance, help you feel stronger, help memory, and may reduce symptoms of stress
  • Restores balance and aids in homeostasis
  • Provides overall wellness by providing 100% of the vitamins and nutrients your body needs

The Process of Receiving IV Therapy

Before IV therapy is administered, blood is drawn for a baseline assessment by a patient’s healthcare provider. Based on the assessment, a determination will be made of what nutrients will most benefit a client.

The administration of the IV involves placing a needle into the arm. Our caring healthcare providers focus on making this process as comfortable as possible.

A typical IV therapy session takes approximately 30 minutes to one hour.

Typical Treatments for Vitamin and Nutrient Deficiency

Treatments for vitamin and nutrient deficiency typically include an appropriate nutritional program and an appropriate vitamin/mineral/nutrient replacement program.

Such a replacement program may include oral and IV replacement approaches. If IV replacement is used, intravenous vitamin and nutrient infusions may be administered once or twice a week. Often, a few weeks of therapy will markedly improve symptoms related to chronic disease and allow for the transition to appropriate oral supplements.IV therapy with nutrients may be needed only a few times or twice weekly for an extended period. Healthcare providers make specially formulated and customized plans. 

We recommend that patients follow up with their healthcare providers after 6-8 weeks of ongoing treatment for direction regarding their treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for IV nutritional therapy to work?

IV therapy sessions usually last 30 minutes to one hour. Typically, patients experience results 3-4 days following treatment.

The length of an IV therapy regimen is dependant on a doctor’s prescription. Treatment may occur every few days or on a weekly schedule, with the objective of moving treatment to a maintenance phase. Regimens depend on the aggressiveness of treatment plans and intended end goals. Results will last longer with consistent IV therapy administration.

Yes, IV therapy is safe. And, at The Healing Sanctuary, IV therapy has physician oversight and patients receive one-on-one care from a registered nurse during treatments.

IV therapy is administered by registered nurses who have been trained in IV therapy etiquette. These professionals are positioned to administer IVs safely. Although highly unlikely, the administration of IV therapy may involve vein irritation and/or blood clots. Another potential side effect is an air embolism, which is an air bubble that gets stuck in a vein or artery. If untreated, air embolisms may cause further issues.

If a patient feels discomfort, a doctor or nurse should be made aware.

Consult with your doctor about expectations and preparation for your treatment.

Staying hydrated before an IV therapy appointment is crucial. It is highly recommended that you eat something before receiving IV therapy since such treatment is more likely to lead to nausea if your stomach is empty. Having a full stomach allows your blood vessels to open up and provide more nutrients to your body.
