Nutritional IV Therapy
Naturopathic Physicians usually use Nutritional IV’s a little differently than the typical allopathic medical community. Intravenous (IV) Therapy, also known as an IV drip, is the administration of liquid substances directly into the bloodstream. In the general medical setting, IV’s are commonly used to help treat or prevent dehydration, to administer medications, to help correct nutritional deficiencies, and to administer dyes & contrasts for medical imaging procedures, etc.
As a naturopathic physician, Dr. Roxie Strand takes those general medical concepts and expands on them. She believes Nutritional IV Therapy, using vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and homeopathic formulations, to be a powerful therapeutic tool to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. Nutritional IV Therapy is also known as IV Drips, IV Vitamin Drips, IV Therapy, and IV Infusions.
Some of our most common IV Therapy Formulas are:
