Essential Mobile IV FAQs

IV therapy, or intravenous therapy, is a medical procedure that involves delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and medications directly into a patient's bloodstream. This method allows for faster and more efficient absorption of nutrients, which can be beneficial for people who have trouble absorbing nutrients from their diet or are experiencing dehydration.

IV therapy can offer a variety of benefits, including:

• Rapid hydration: Replenishing fluids and electrolytes quickly, which is essential for overall health and well-being.
• Nutrient replenishment: Providing essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to support various bodily functions.
• Enhanced energy levels: Boosting energy levels and reducing fatigue.
• Immunity boost: Strengthening the immune system to protect against illness.
• Athletic performance optimization: Promoting faster recovery and enhancing athletic performance.
• Migraine relief: Alleviating migraine symptoms and reducing migraine frequency.
• Skin health improvement: Enhancing skin hydration and reducing inflammation.
• Reduced stress: Alleviating stress and anxiety.

IV therapy can help treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Dehydration
• Hangovers
• Jet lag
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fatigue
• Migraines
• Vitamin deficiencies
• Cold and flu symptoms
• Athletic performance recovery
• Morning sickness

Most IV drip treatments take 40 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the fluid you are receiving and your specific needs. Some packages, such as the NAD+ IV drip package, require up to four hours.

The IV therapy process typically involves the following steps:

• Consultation: A healthcare provider will assess your health history, current condition, and goals to determine the most appropriate IV therapy treatment for you.
• Preparation: The IV site, usually the elbow or wrist, will be cleaned and prepped.
• Catheter insertion: A small needle or catheter will be inserted into the vein.
• IV drip administration: The IV bag containing the fluids, vitamins, minerals, and medications will be connected to the catheter, and the treatment will begin.
• Monitoring: Your vital signs will be monitored throughout the treatment to ensure your safety and comfort.
• Completion: Once the IV drip is complete, the catheter will be removed, and the site will be bandaged.

IV fluids stay in your body until you no longer need them. After you’re hydrated, your body will begin to remove the excess fluids as urine. Various factors affect how quickly this process occurs. For example, if you’re only mildly dehydrated before IV therapy, you’ll likely eliminate the fluids faster than a moderately dehydrated person. Your kidneys also impact how fast your body flushes IV fluids.

You can have an IV therapy appointment in the comfort of your own home, a friend’s house, your hotel room, your office, a gym, a party or wedding, or an outdoor event.
