Need to Rebound Quickly After a Night of Drinking? IV Therapy Is the Answer

When you need to be on top of your game after a night of drinking, intravenous (IV) infusion therapy may be the solution you’re looking for. Learn how IV therapy works to ease symptoms of a hangover, so you can feel like yourself again.

An evening of excess can put you on the path to a hangover that slows you down and keeps you from performing at your best. If you’re looking for a fast, effective solution to recover from a night of drinking, consider the many benefits of intravenous (IV) therapy.

At IV MD, we offer customized IV treatments to help you bounce back from a hangover, colds, jet lag, and other acute illnesses.

Our medical specialists provide the liquid nutrients your body needs to function optimally, so you can feel like yourself again.

Why you feel hungover

For some people, just a few alcoholic drinks can trigger symptoms of a hangover. It’s due to the many effects that alcohol has on your body, including:

Dehydration
Liver inflammation
Whole-body inflammation
Disrupted sleep cycles
Irritation of the gastrointestinal lining

Hangover symptoms are at their worst when your blood alcohol levels zero out and can persist for up to 24 hours.

During this time, you may find it difficult to make decisions due to foggy thinking, and your reflexes might also be impaired. A severe hangover can also interfere with your ability to care for yourself or other people.

How IV therapy can help a hangover

The goal of IV therapy is to deliver minerals, vitamins, electrolytes, and other essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream, so your cells can use them immediately.

The IV method bypasses your usual digestive processes, allowing your body to absorb more of the nutrients than if you take them orally.

IV therapy also provides your body with extra fluids to quickly rehydrate your tissues, preventing complications of dehydration, such as muscle cramps and kidney dysfunction.

Additionally, the fluids flush out toxins and rebalance your electrolyte levels, so you can get relief from nausea, headaches, and other common hangover symptoms.

Many people experience symptom relief before their IV therapy session is complete. But it can take a few hours for your body to fully absorb the fluids, vitamins, and other substances before you feel better.

Strategies to prevent another hangover

If you have an upcoming event and know you’ll be consuming alcohol, take care of yourself in advance.

Drink extra fluids in the days before the celebration so your body is hydrated. Also, be mindful of how much alcohol you consume and consider switching to nonalcoholic beverages after a few drinks.

At IV MD, we offer a variety of IV therapies onsite to support your health and wellness. Consider scheduling an IV session before your next party to lower your risk for a hangover and its symptoms.

Our team can customize the ingredients in your IV infusion to keep your systems balanced. We use the highest quality ingredients, including vitamin C, B complex vitamins, glutathione, and magnesium to support your immune system, metabolism, and digestive health.
