Looking to give yourself a revitalising boost the next time you’re in Bangkok? You can complement a relaxing massage at a spa with an IV drip treatment and here’s more on what you need to know.
What Is IV Therapy
Intravenous therapy or IV is a treatment when various nutrients and vitamins are directly administered into the bloodstream. This process provides a much higher absorption rate since it bypasses the digestive system and fluids reach the body’s organs faster as well. Ideal to enjoy while staying at a spa hotel in Bangkok, IV treatment offers an easy way to strengthen the immune system and increase energy levels.
An IV Drip
A popular method of experiencing this treatment would be via an IV drip whereby the fluids are injected intravenously via a catheter or small plastic tube connected to your vein. Generally, such drips can take around 45 minutes to an hour and the great thing is, during this time, one is free to relax or read a book. This kind of treatment can be enjoyed on a stay at properties like Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel home to the VIVID IV drip bar with a package designed to improve wellbeing and boost cognitive performance.
What is Used for An IV Drip
What is used for an IV drip would depend on the type of treatment. Generally, it will feature a saline solution, a glucose solution and various nutrients which can include minerals, amino acids and vitamins that combine to provide the body with an ideal boost. A popular choice would be what is called the “Myer’s cocktail” which has a potent mix of vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium and magnesium that helps in enhancing energy levels and immunity.
Diverse Benefits
As mentioned, the higher absorption rate means that an IV drip treatment offers increased effectiveness as well as a range of benefits which can be experienced after 12 to 24 hours. Depending on the type of treatment, one can also look forward to improving energy levels, mental focus, complexion, sleep patterns or immunity strength. It can also help to balance blood sugar as well as reduce the signs of ageing.
