Feeling your best isn’t always simple. Even when you get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise, you can still feel run down and tired. It’s essential to stay hydrated, but with a busy schedule, it’s hard to remember to drink water as often as you should. Headaches, fatigue, and muscle cramps are all symptoms of dehydration. Not getting enough water can even make you crave sugar. However, chugging tap water or sports drinks may not be enough to help you get hydrated. There’s an alternative way to take control of your health by using IV hydration therapy.

What causes dehydration?

Not drinking enough water is just one cause of dehydration. Exercise challenges and strenuous workouts can leave you feeling run down if you don’t hydrate. Recovering from an illness like the flu can leave you struggling to rehydrate. Even a night out when you overindulge can leave you feeling sluggish and dehydrated.

While there are many causes of dehydration, recovery requires getting more fluids. You don’t even have to feel dragged down by the symptoms of dehydration to notice an improvement when you’re fully hydrated.

Does drinking more water fix dehydration?

When you feel thirsty, it’s natural to keep drinking water to try to feel better. But dehydration causes you to lose sugar and salt as well as fluids. Simply drinking more tap water can’t provide the body with the minerals lost through dehydration. Many people opt for sports drinks after intense workouts or on hot days because of the sugar and electrolytes they offer.

Combining salty snacks with diluted fruit juice is another way to help with dehydration. It allows the body to recuperate the lost sugar and salt in a way that drinking water doesn’t. Often dehydrated people can drink large amounts of tap water and not feel any improvement in their symptoms.

What is IV hydration therapy?

IV hydration therapy is a streamlined way of recovering from dehydration. During the therapy, a professional will administer fluid to your body through a small IV needle in your arm. The fluids contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and electrolytes.

Instead of eating and drinking to try to recover from dehydration after an intense workout, illness, or hot weather, an IV hydration therapy appointment provides you with 1000 mL of IV fluids. It’s packed with nutrients to give your body what it needs to recover from dehydration.

Can IV therapy help with more than dehydration?

Many people don’t realize they can treat more than dehydration with IV fluids. When you make an appointment with an infusion and wellness center, they’ll ask about the health challenges you’re confronting. Then, they can recommend a fluid treatment that will give your body the support it needs to recuperate and improve your overall sense of wellness.
