IV Therapy: A Great Way of Regulating Your Hormone Levels

Hormones can get out of whack for many different reasons: after recently having a baby, dealing with high stress, or even due to a poor diet. Even having your hormone levels off a slight bit can trigger many symptoms including a cranky mood, weight gain, hormonal acne, heart palpitations, and even depression & anxiety.

The good news is, there are ways to rebalance your hormones. IV therapy is one option to consider.

How IV Therapy Works

This very simple & safe yet effective form of therapy is pretty straight forward.

A nurse will set up an IV on the client, which is inserted into a vein with a thin needle. The needle is removed, leaving just a tiny plastic tube in place. When done correctly, the client should feel very little pain during the process of setting up the IV, if any. Some even describe it as a tiny tickle.

Once in place, through the tube, various vitamins and minerals flow directly into the client’s bloodstream for several minutes. This supplies them with the nutrients they need to sustain the right hormonal balance.

IV therapy is often done a few times a week or once every few weeks or so, depending on the patient’s needs, time, and budget.

Who Qualifies for IV Therapy?

For the most part, anyone can be a candidate to receive IV therapy. However, if you have a pre-existing medical condition or circumstance, it’s always best to speak with a medical professional first before opting for this form of therapy.

There are some exceptions. For example, individuals with kidney/heart problems need to be careful about this therapy as fluid overload can lead to damage of the kidneys/heart. Those taking any medications should also speak with a doctor beforehand just to ensure no potential drug interactions.

In addition, one who is severely dehydrated should not get IV therapy; instead, they should go to the emergency room where there’s proper equipment to help and monitor the patient as they rehydrate.

As long as one is in decent health without any conditions or medications that may pose a negative reaction to the therapy, and as long as the therapy is conducted by a licensed & trained professional, IV therapy poses very, very little risk.

Rebalancing Hormones from the Comfort of Your Home

While many places offering IV therapy require you to go into a facility, some allow you to get this service in your very own home via a traveling nurse.

An at home IV is particularly great for new mothers, elderly folk, those with disabilities, or individuals who feel very anxious about getting an IV, especially in a doctor-like setting. Being in the comfort of one’s home without having to leave the house can make the experience much easier and more comfortable.

Conclusion

Regulating your hormone levels is critical to live a healthy, happy, fulfilling life. It’s difficult for our mind and body to function properly when our hormones aren’t adequately balanced. Fortunately, IV therapy that can be done at home is a great way to get those hormone levels back to where they need to be. One step closer to being a better you!
