As the school year starts many of us begin to anticipate the start of cold and flu season. Along with temperature and schedule changes, and for many, less sleep, our immune systems can become more susceptible to the microbes we're exposed to on a day to day basis. Regardless of age, prevention is the best approach. There are some key ways to prevent colds and flus, among the most beneficial being proper hand washing, ensuring adequate vitamin D intake, healthy lifestyle and diet. However, when these aren't possible, or when they're not enough, advanced prevention strategies can be extremely effective at preventing, and treating colds and flus. One of these strategies is the use of Intravenous vitamin and minerals. Using formulas super charged with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the goal is to not only jump start the immune system, but also to give you a boost of energy and help you feel your best.
Prevention is ideal, but what do you do when you actually get sick? Immune Booster IVs can be great even when you're symptomatic, but one of the truly wonderful attributes of IV therapy is the ability to customize formulas to you and your specific health concerns. Some of us require the Immune Booster formulas when sick, and others require a different support, such as a Hydrating Immune formula. Either way, these can be targeted to your specific concerns, accelerating recovery and getting back to feeling your best. Key ingredients tend to include Vitamin C, Zinc, B vitamins and Electrolytes, although there are many other nutrients we can use to customize formulas such as amino acids, immune boosting HCL and multi mineral formulas.
Often this is a strategy that I use with patients who have an important deadline or meeting coming up, those who are planning to compete in a strenuous sporting event, patients with upcoming travel plans, or those who simply want an enhanced immune support plan. IV therapy is safe for most people, however, I do recommend you discuss this with your Naturopathic Doctor, or book in for an appointment at the OIHC for an IV consult. This allows us to not only ensure the safety of IV therapy, but also allows for the development of an individualized treatment plan.
