IV therapy has skyrocketed in popularity over the last several years, becoming a sought-after treatment for headaches, infections, immunity, and overall health. But, as it’s gained popularity, it’s also garnered several myths about its safety and effectiveness.
We’re here to debunk these common IV therapy myths to help you make informed decisions for your health.
Myth #1: You can only benefit from IV therapy if you’re sick.
IV therapy isn’t just for the common cold or flu. The vitamins and nutrients in IV formulations can be adjusted for a broad range of applications, including:
- Anti-aging
- Detoxification
- Weight loss
- Athletic performance
- Stress relief
- Skin health and beauty
- Radiation recovery
- Macular degeneration
- Brain health
Myth #2: IV therapy is uncomfortable.
While you may feel a small prick as the needle is inserted, most people find IV therapy to be comfortable and painless. You can relax, listen to music, read a book, watch TV, or even take a nap during the drip.
Myth #3: IV therapy isn’t safe.
When IV therapy is administered by a qualified medical professional, like a member of the team at The IV-Suite, it’s safe with little risk of side effects. Your provider will ensure that the drip contains safe dosages for your condition, medical history, and current medications. Some people experience minor side effects, like temporary pain and bruising at the injection site.
Myth #4: Anyone can administer IV therapy.
To ensure your safety, it’s essential to receive IV therapy from a qualified medical professional. This is mainly because the process involves inserting a needle into your vein, which can pose risks if it’s not done properly. Medical professionals can also ensure that the blend of vitamins and nutrients is safe for you and doesn’t interact with any medications or supplements you’re taking.
