The Perks of IV Therapy: Hydration with a Kick
Imagine this…you’re tired, everyone around you seems to be sick, and even your skin and hair seem to have staged a dramatic rebellion against you. Maybe you’re new to Utah and you got a little too excited to hit the slopes after flying all day to get here. Elevation sickness can be a doozy.
Enter the superhero of hydration, replenishment, and wellness: IV therapy at Wasatch Optimal Wellness (WOW). No longer do you need to chug water and down fistfuls of supplements to find relief once the familiar signs of dehydration and nutrient depletion appear—now, you can jump straight into a supercharged rehydration and replenishment experience with a specialized blend of vitamins and IV fluids from the team at WOW.
But before you book your appointment with the IV drip, let’s dive into the magic of WOW’s treatment options.
Why IV Therapy Is a Gamechanger
First, let’s talk about why IV therapy is all the rage these days. In a world where instant gratification reigns supreme, why not give your body the ultimate shortcut to feeling incredible and revitalized? IV therapy works by delivering fluids and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, which allows your body to absorb the hydration and nutrients faster and more efficiently than if you were to consume them. Whether you’re recovering from a long night of questionable decisions or a full day of shredding the slopes, or you’re just in need of a health boost, IV therapy can replenish your body’s fluids and essential electrolytes in record time.
This treatment isn’t just about hydration; it’s a full wellness experience. At WOW, your health and safety are the highest priority. Your initial IV experience will begin with a pertinent health history review with one of WOW’s providers. The treatment itself typically lasts 30–45 minutes and will be carefully supervised by the experienced nursing staff. You’ll just kick back in one of the fabulous massage chairs and enjoy one of the best forms of self-care available.
IV therapy is the ultimate pick-me-up. Feeling under the weather? They’ve got you: with the highly requested immune-boosting drip, The Sniffle Snuffler. Migraine ruining your day? Hospital-grade migraine relief can be delivered in a much more comfortable setting.
With the option of 11 unique drips on the menu and countless customizations possible, you can be confident that you’re getting a personalized approach to most anything that ails you. Because WOW has sophisticated and well-trained medical staff onsite, the team has the ability to administer some medications through the drip as well. Most are available for IV use, while some are administered only through intramuscular injection. WOW’s vitamin D injections are an excellent solution to the vitamin D deficiency that many people suffer from year-round, but particularly during the winter. No matter the delivery method, these drips and injections can be your new best friend. From general wellness, to stress relief, to muscle recovery—WOW has an IV cocktail that can help.
Now, let’s shift gears and discuss the pesky problem that brings many people to seek IV therapy in the first place: dehydration. While the symptoms of dehydration might seem obvious—dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness—it’s the causes that are more complex.
Here are a few more of the usual suspects for dehydration:
Weather and physical activity: When you sweat, you lose fluids, and if you’re not replacing them, your body can start to feel the effects. Gym workouts, sauna, intense skiing, or hiking! The cold weather can be dehydrating too because even if you’re not being physically active, the sweat mechanisms are suppressed, the weather is drier, and the cold air causes moisture to evaporate faster from the lungs. “Never Miss a Monday Muscle Recovery” blend might just hit the spot.
Illness: Fever, vomiting, and diarrhea are prime dehydration culprits. When you’re sick, your body loses more fluids than usual, and if you’re not replenishing fast enough, dehydration sets in. “Immunity” blend for the win!
Alcohol: Ah, the double-edged sword of a fun night out. Alcohol has a diuretic effect, meaning it makes you pee more, thus flushing out water and electrolytes faster than your body can keep up with. Combine this with a lack of water, and you’ve got a recipe for dehydration and disaster. Try the “Booze Flu” blend.
Dietary choices: While we all know that a big burger and fries can make you feel sluggish, a diet high in salty foods can also leave you dehydrated. Sodium draws water out of your cells, leaving you parched and craving that tall glass of water. “The Lean Machine” might be just what you need.
Hydration Made Easy
While drinking water (and maybe adding some electrolytes) is the obvious first step to rehydrating, sometimes your body just needs a little extra TLC, which is where IV therapy at WOW swoops in. It’s like a spa day for your insides—fast, efficient, and tailored to what your body needs most, all delivered by a thoughtful and thorough medical team. So, next time you’re feeling a bit off your A-game or you hit “leg day” a little too hard, remember that an IV drip could be the answer to getting back on track.
