Quickly Rehydrate Your Body With IV Hydration

Staying hydrated helps your body function at its best whether you’re working out, spending time in the sun, or recovering from an illness. Most of the time, rehydrating your body is as simple as grabbing a glass of water. How much should you drink in a single day?

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends the following daily fluid intake:

  • 3.7 liters (15.5 cups) for men
  • 2.7 liters (11.5 cups) for women

These amounts are a rough guideline, since a person’s age, activity level, or medical conditions may require additional fluids. Professional athletes, people with chronic illnesses, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding may need to drink more water than the recommendations above. Acute illnesses (such as a cold or the flu) can also dehydrate you. Not only does illness put more demands on your body, staying hydrated when ill can be difficult when you’re feeling nauseous or sleeping more than usual.

Why get an IV to rehydrate your body instead of grabbing a glass of water? Plain water does not contain electrolytes, which are minerals that help your body function normally. Your body loses electrolytes naturally throughout the day, particularly when you are exerting yourself. Since your body does not produce electrolytes on its own, these minerals must be replenished from outside sources such as food, drinks, supplements, or IV hydration.

Signs and Symptoms of Dehydration

When your body uses more fluids than you replace, you become dehydrated. It’s easy for you to become dehydrated when you are busy, active, or ill. How do you know when you are dehydrated?

The symptoms of dehydration include:

  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Lightheadedness
  • Unclear thinking
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Dark yellow urine

When you’re very dehydrated – such as following an intense workout, during illness, or when you’re drinking – IV hydration quickly replenishes your body’s fluid balance. Our Dehydration IV contains a blend of saline solution and electrolytes that will quickly and thoroughly rehydrate you. Our treatment generally takes 30 – 60 minutes. We bring your appointment directly to you for unmatched convenience.

Who Will Benefit The Most From Our Dehydration IV?

Staying hydrated is essential for the proper function of numerous body systems. Thus, dehydration treatment can be beneficial for a wide range of people, including:

  • Athletes who regularly engage in intense workouts
  • People who work in physically demanding jobs
  • People who live in harsh environments (i.e., very hot or very cold)
  • People recovering from illness, especially those with symptoms that can quickly dehydrate the body, such as vomiting or diarrhea
  • People recovering from injury or surgery
  • People with skin conditions such as eczema
  • People who have difficulty consuming enough liquids to stay hydrated

How Does The Treatment Work?

IV fluids for dehydration, also called saline solutions, are a blend of hydrating liquids and electrolytes designed to hydrate and balance the body. There are many different types of IV fluids depending on the type and cause of dehydration. These are designed to shift fluids either into or out of cells to help them achieve an isotonic state in which there is an equal amount of liquid both inside and outside of a cell.

Intravenous fluids for dehydration are administered through a thin, long tube that connects a suspended bag of liquids to a needle that is inserted directly into a vein. A drip infusion simply allows the power of gravity to help liquids flow into the vein. A pump infusion utilizes a small motorized pump to deliver fluids in a steady flow.

In addition to the base saline solution, IV add-ons such as vitamins, minerals, select medications, and NAD may be added to the infusion for further benefits.

Benefits of Dehydration IV

A dehydration IV delivers hydrating fluids and electrolytes directly to the bloodstream, allowing your body to experience the benefits of rehydration right away.

Collagen is an essential building block of the body, and is found in multiple tissue types including skin, blood vessels, muscles, bones, and the digestive system. Dehydration affects the structure of collagen, negatively impacting the health of these tissues. Skin dehydration not only negatively impacts how your skin looks, it can also pose a health risk. People with eczema are especially prone to these risks, as dehydration can cause cracks or fissures in the skin that increase the risk of infection.

Dehydration IV therapy helps hydrate skin from the inside, helping to preserve existing collagen structure and promote the production of more collagen. Not only does this help skin look and stay healthy, it also helps promote faster healing of tissues after injury or surgery.

Dehydration has been linked to a number of illnesses and conditions.1 While hydration itself does not play a role in combating viruses or germs, it does help numerous body functions run efficiently. The overall health benefits of hydration help bolster your defenses against getting sick.

Maintaining hydration also contributes to healthy kidney function. Hydration infusion therapy helps support kidneys to flush toxins and waste from the body that would otherwise have a negative impact on health.

Fatigue has been linked to dehydration, with one study of 26,000 people revealing an association between dehydration and shorter sleep duration.2 Other research indicates that dehydration negatively impacts athletic performance. Getting a dehydration IV treatment can help you get more restful sleep.

Even mild dehydration can negatively affect cognitive function, leaving you feeling tired and irritable.3 One study of cyclists found that dehydration caused a sharp decrease in physical performance.4 Hydration infusion therapy can help you avoid this risk, and leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.

FAQs

How long do the benefits of IV hydration last?

The length of the benefits of IV therapy for dehydration can vary based on a number of factors, such as how severely dehydrated you were before treatment, any health conditions you may have, and extreme heat or cold. Generally, the positive effects of treatment begin within 1-2 hours and last for a few days.

How often should you get IV hydration?

IV dehydration treatments do not have a significant risk of side effects. There are a few risks surrounding the administration of treatment, which include vein damage, infection at the injection site, and air embolism. Ensuring you receive treatments from a licensed and trained healthcare professional significantly reduces these risks.

Adding additional treatments to your IV session, such as a vitamin formula, will add risks associated with each additional ingredient. It is possible to overload on certain vitamins, which can cause a range of symptoms depending on the vitamin. Ingredients may also affect or be affected by medications you are taking.

You should only get IV treatments from a licensed and trained healthcare professional. They can properly identify the types of fluids you need and how frequently you should receive treatment. They can also ensure that treatments are administered in the safest way possible, providing peace of mind that treatment is administered correctly. If you are interested in receiving IV therapy for dehydration but have difficulty making time to get to a doctor’s office, consider getting a dehydration treatment at home.
