How You Can Relieve Anxiety with IV Therapy

At least 40 million adults in the U.S. struggle with anxiety disorders, yet less than 40% seek treatment. So, why do so many people not seek help?

For some, it is because they do not realize they have an anxiety disorder. While others do not know about the different types of treatment options available.

In this article, we will discuss what an anxiety disorder is, what IV therapy is, and why IV therapy can be the perfect solution to treat anxiety.

What is an Anxiety Disorder?

While most people experience feelings of stress, nervousness, and anxiety during challenging times in their lives, an anxiety disorder is different. Those with a true anxiety disorder experience uncontrollable, sometimes debilitating anxiety symptoms such as panic attacks, nausea, and episodes of rapid breathing and increased heart rate.

There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:

• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) – chronic anxiety without always a cause
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – anxiety that develops after a traumatic event
• Panic disorder – recurring and unexpected panic attacks
• Social anxiety disorder – fear of being in social situations and being judged
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) – recurring irrational thoughts, fixations, and obsessions
• Separation anxiety disorder – fear of being separated from someone close to you

While some of these fears may occur at times, those with a disorder have excessive and uncontrollable anxiety and can be overwhelmed by the symptoms.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

While there are multiple different types of anxiety disorders, the symptoms usually present themselves in the same way.

For starters, common mental symptoms include:

• Feeling of nervousness
• Sense of impending doom
• Trouble sleeping
• Difficulty concentrating

On the other hand, physical symptoms may present themselves as the following:

• Hyperventilating
• Sweating
• Dry mouth
• Feeling faint or dizzy
• Increased heart rate
• Hot flashes
• Migraines
• Nausea

While some experience anxiety over a new job or finances. Those with an anxiety disorder do not always know why they are experiencing anxiety.

What Causes Anxiety?

There are many reasons someone may have an anxiety disorder and experience anxiety.

It can be due to:

• Trauma
• Medical conditions
• Chronic stress
• Family genetics

Here’s the problem: With so many people not knowing the differences between everyday nervousness and an anxiety disorder, most do not seek treatment.

Now that you understand the basics of anxiety disorders, let’s talk about IV therapy and how it can help alleviate anxiety symptoms.

What is IV Therapy?

IV therapy, or intravenous therapy, is the act of delivering fluids through a catheter directly into your bloodstream.

It is a quick process usually taking from 30 minutes to an hour and you can typically feel the effects immediately. IV therapy is practically painless with patients often only feeling a slight pinch.

You may be wondering, why should I get IV therapy as opposed to getting prescription medication? Keep reading to find out.

IV Therapy is Better Than Oral Medication

There are several reasons people are turning to IV therapy over standard prescription oral medications. Here are a few:

Bioavailability – Using this method you can absorb the minerals faster and at a greater amount by going directly into your bloodstream and bypassing your digestive system.

Convenience – IV therapy is a quick and painless process that involves no downtime while still producing benefits almost immediately.

Hydration – Did you know that about 75% of Americans are dehydrated? While there are a lot of vitamins and minerals in IVs, a majority of the fluid is saline which helps to hydrate you quickly.

Customization – There are many types of IV therapies available so you are able to pick the perfect combination of vitamins for your needs.

Now that you understand the growing popularity of IV therapy, let’s discuss its benefits.

What is IV Therapy Used For?

IV therapy is used by doctors in a wide range of treatments. The vitamins and minerals in the IV fluids help to balance your body’s natural levels, which lead to many health benefits.

Depending on the vitamins and minerals used, IV therapy can help:

• Relieve hangovers
• Strengthen immune system
• Advance athletic performance
• Improve metabolism
• Restore energy
• Alleviate anxiety and depression

As you can see, there are never-ending benefits to IV therapy. To dive even deeper, let’s discuss how IV therapy can relieve anxiety.

How Can IV Therapy Relieve Anxiety?
