Intravenous (IV) delivery of nutrients is an excellent method to provide the body with therapeutic and nutritional agents in certain health conditions. By eliminating the complex process of digestion and absorption, we are able to deliver high doses of specific nutrients that are then bio-available through the circulation, to the tissues and cells of the body. In this way, it is possible to utilize very high concentrations of certain nutrients to correct disease states. In chronic and depleted conditions, and where the digestive functions are often compromised, large doses of nutrients call be delivered comfortably and safely as part of an integrated naturopathic treatment program. In acute infections, specific nutrients (such as vitamin C and zinc) can be used to enhance immune function.
Depending on the condition being treated, your doctor may recommend a range of IV therapies from a simple IV ‘push’ to a larger dose of specific vitamins and minerals. The IV push contains vitamins, minerals and botanical medicines, which are injected over a 10 to 15 minute period of time. Larger doses of nutrients may given through an IV ‘drip’, which may require up to an hour of relaxing in our pleasant and comfortable IV lounge. Outside of the gentle, initial needle discomfort, these treatments are generally painless and patients enjoy a restful experience.
