Stay hydrated! VWS exclusive “Rehydration Drip”
IV therapy is taking a storm in modern day medicine to provide patients with therapeutic levels of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Naturopathic doctors have been utilizing IV therapy for decades beyond administering medications or isotonic solutions. IV therapy is a useful tool to quickly replenish the body, bypass the digestive system, and give personalized medicine.
Let’s talk about hydration. How many times has the doctor told you to drink more water? For some people, this lifestyle change may be difficult to do overnight. When we don’t consume enough water with electrolytes, our cells lack the essential minerals and molecules to stay plump. Hydration is important for skin health, electrolyte balance and conductivity, kidney function, blood flow, joint lubrication, and so much more!
When we lose fluids through activities such as exercise or experience a recent gut infection with either vomiting or diarrhea, it becomes even more important to replenish fluids. Luckily at VWS, we provide a beautiful “Rehydration Drip” IV at our Waterfront Spa location.
What is in the rehydration drip:
Magnesium - important electrolyte for muscle function, bone health, and nerve conductivity. Magnesium can help with lowering blood pressure, promoting healthy bowel movements, reducing migraine headaches, and reducing risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.1
Calcium - important for circulation, bone health, hormone release, nerve conduction, and muscle contraction.2
Potassium - important for maintaining fluid balance with sodium and for blood pressure regulation.3
Methylcobalamin (B12) - important for nerve myelination, methyl donation, energy, and metabolism.4
Sodium chloride - carrier fluid for the IV bag that is composed of a basic salt combination to aid in maintaining blood pressure, circulation, cellular transport, and fluid balance.
Sounds pretty nice right? Stop into our spa and talk to our naturopathic doctors to see if this IV is right for you!
