IV Drip in Your Own Home: Is it Safe?
IV therapies are becoming more widely available to people in the comfort of their own homes, but still, many people raise the question: is this safe? Most of the time, these IVs are comprised of normal saline plus any additional nutrients or vitamins your body needs.
There is a low risk with the administration of IV therapy solely because the ingredients are all vitamins and minerals that naturally occur in your body. The reason that people receive these IVs is that nutrient deficiencies and anemia are incredibly common.
If you're considering at-home IV therapy, it's important to explore the different types of IV drips available at home to find the right option for your needs.
What Are the Benefits?
There are a multitude of benefits that vary based on the infusion that you choose. However, these are some of the most common.
Used as a hangover cure
Support your immune system and shorten colds
Decrease chronic fatigue
Recover faster from sports injuries
Reverses the effects of dehydration with a Hydration Drip
Alleviate PMS symptoms
Support healthy brain function
Alleviate headaches/migraines
One of the biggest advantages of at-home IV therapy is its mobile IV infusion benefits, allowing you to receive treatment wherever you are, without the hassle of traveling to a clinic.
These are just a few of the many benefits that IV therapies can provide. It delivers nutrients much quicker than taking an oral supplement and allows for a 100% absorption rate of the nutrients delivered.
What Are Some of the Risks?
First and foremost, a professional should be present with you for the duration of the infusion to ensure that no reaction takes place. There is little to no risk of infusion allergic reactions, as these vitamins naturally occur in your body, but it is good practice to let the provider responsible for your infusion know beforehand.
An IV is a break in the skin, and as with any break in the skin, there is a risk of infection. This highlights the importance of having a professional perform the IV administration. If the procedure is done correctly, the risk should remain low.
For those looking to boost their immune system and fight off colds, an Immunity Drip can be a great option to provide extra support.
