Why People Love IV Therapy (Especially During the Summer)

Jumping in the pool and lounging on the beach are summer’s best activities, but they can also dehydrate you. If chugging water never makes you feel replenished, you might enjoy an IV therapy appointment. Check out why so many people love this self-care experience and its total-body benefits.

What Does IV Therapy Do?

Intravenous (IV) therapy refuels your body with vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes through a needle in your arm. The injection ensures that you absorb 100% of the nutrients, which may not always happen through the food in your digestive tract.

Monica Reinagel, MS, LDN, and CNS, notes that the body utilizes 10%-90% of the nutrients in meals. You’ll never know how effectively your digestive system breaks down your meals, but that uncertainty disappears during an IV vitamin therapy appointment. You’ll know your nutrients, electrolytes, and essential minerals that aren’t going to waste because your bloodstream immediately delivers them throughout the body.

Health Benefits of IV Therapy

You’ll Finally Feel Hydrated

Oral hydration, like sipping from a water bottle, includes a waiting period that IV therapy doesn’t have. The digestive tract has to pass the water on to your organs through the bloodstream. Meanwhile, people who get IV therapy treatments skip that part. Your body will immediately get electrolytes that hydrate the body more effectively than regular water or water infused with macronutrients.

You’ll Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Your skin has multiple layers, including the epidermis. You don’t have to know all of them to battle wrinkles. All you need to do is prevent dehydration. When your epidermis has more elasticity because it stays hydrated, you’ll reduce fine line and wrinkle development naturally. Consistent IV treatments during the hottest months of the year are a proactive way to do that.

Your Depression and Anxiety May Improve

IV therapy appointments give your body much-needed antioxidants. They’re excellent for numerous reasons, but they’re particularly good for your mental health. People who ingest antioxidants regularly have less intense depression and anxiety, so it’s a great resource if you want to support your mental well-being throughout the year.

Does Insurance Cover IV Therapy?

Health insurance plans do not cover IV therapy because it’s an optional treatment. Call your provider’s customer service line to get more information about your specific plan. They can address any questions you may have, especially if you’re interested in IV hydration based on your doctor’s recommendation.

Can You Use HSA for IV Therapy​?

You can only use HSA for IV therapy if your doctor deems it a medically necessary treatment before your appointment. We always recommend checking your specific plan or contacting your HSA provider to understand your options. Many of our clients pay for their IV therapy and submit a receipt for HSA reimbursement.
