Frequently Asked Questions
What is IV Therapy?
IV (intravenous) therapy is a method of delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and medications directly into the bloodstream. This allows for faster nutrient absorption compared to oral intake. IV therapy is often used to support hydration, replenish nutrient levels, and address symptoms related to fatigue, illness, and physical exertion. It has expanded from traditional medical settings and is now commonly offered as part of wellness services in Austin.
What is Mobile IV Therapy?
Mobile IV therapy brings professional IV treatments to your preferred location. A licensed nurse arrives with the necessary equipment to administer the infusion safely and comfortably in your home, office, hotel, or event space. This service may be suitable for individuals looking for flexibility and privacy while supporting hydration and overall wellness without visiting a clinic.
Uses of IV Therapy
IV therapy may support a variety of wellness and recovery goals, including:
- Hydration Support: May help restore fluid balance after heat exposure, exercise, or illness.
- Immune Function: May support the immune system with nutrients like vitamin C and zinc.
- Energy Levels: May help reduce fatigue through infusions containing B vitamins and other nutrients.
- Hangover Recovery: May ease symptoms such as headache, nausea, and dehydration following alcohol use.
