IV Therapy

In the realm of naturopathic medicine, Intravenous (IV) therapy is a popular and effective treatment method for addressing a range of health issues, leveraging the direct delivery of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. Among the various beneficial IV therapies, the Myers’ Cocktail is renowned for boosting energy and immune function through a potent blend of Vitamin C, magnesium, B vitamins, and other nutrients. For those facing chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia, High-Dose Vitamin C IV therapy can offer powerful antioxidant benefits and immune support. Glutathione IV therapy is celebrated for its detoxifying properties, helping to eliminate harmful toxins and improve liver health.

Our Intravenous (IV) therapy in Burlington works by delivering vitamins, minerals, and medications into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system for immediate and complete absorption. This method of administration is particularly beneficial for individuals whose gastrointestinal systems may not absorb nutrients efficiently due to various health issues, such as Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or severe food allergies. The direct bloodstream infusion allows for higher concentrations of nutrients to reach the body’s cells, tissues, and organs much more rapidly than if the same substances were ingested orally. This can lead to quicker therapeutic effects, making IV therapy an effective solution for immediate hydration, nutrient replenishment, and medication delivery.

The process of IV therapy begins with a healthcare professional, often a nurse or a naturopathic doctor, inserting a small, thin tube called a catheter directly into a vein, usually located on the arm. Once the IV line is secured, a solution containing the desired mix of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and sometimes prescription medications, is slowly infused into the bloodstream. The efficacy and safety of IV therapy, coupled with its ability to provide a high level of control over nutrient dosage, make it a versatile and powerful tool in both conventional and naturopathic medical practices.
