At Wellmed Bali we select only preservative free vitamins to tailor make the most effective IV infusion formula for each individual therapy. Unlike oral supplements which are sometimes ineffective due to poor absorption.
IV infusion therapy by passes the digestive system which allows a faster and more efficient absorption of the vitamins delivering immediate therapeutic effects.
IV vitamin drips can be used proactively to help manage chronic health conditions and to optimize health.
The benefits are usually experienced instantly and all preparations are performed by the doctor to ensure the best possible outcome for you.
What you should to know before your IV treatment ?
Hydrate. You may ask – "Won’t the IV rehydrate me?" Your body will be more responsive if you are hydrated prior to starting the IV because, at a cellular level, the minerals and vitamins infused via IV are dehydrating. Also it is much harder to find the vein when you are dehydrated as you veins will be smaller and more difficult to locate. Your response to the IV and the ease of finding a vein will be improved by drinking a few glasses of water before your appointment.
Eat. Some of the vitamins and minerals can cause nausea if infused on an empty stomach and eating a light meal or snack helps your body absorb the drip more effectively.
Relax and breathe. Once you are seated in the recliner chair waiting for your IV to begin, take a few minutes to relax. This will help release any nervous tension and prepare you for your treatment.
Bring along a book or music. Bring those magazines you have not had time to read, the book you have been waiting to start or your favorite music along with ear buds to enjoy. This time is yours so enjoy
Wear comfortable clothes. No need to dress up for your IV! We recommend a short sleeve top or sleeves that can be rolled up above the elbow. And wear those comfy pants and socks – especially if you have tendency to get cold or use comfy blankets for you to stay warm if needed.
The doctor will consult with you to choose a vitamin formulation that best suits your needs and lifestyle.
A small plastic tube(catheter) is inserted into the arm to allow the administration of the drip.
You will relax and rest in comfort for the next min. 30 minutes to allow the vitamins time to enter and spread throughout your body.
Make sure you drink plenty of water to help detoxify your body .
Try not to overexert yourself immediately after your drip to allow the vitamins the time they need to work more effectively.
The frequency of followup treatments is determined on a patient by patient basis, we take a customised approach to suit your individual needs and lifestyle.
