Vitamin IV Drips in Miami Beach to Recover from Cold & Flu

Travel season to Miami and Miami Beach is here. With that, so is an influx of cases of the common cold and influenza or flu for short. The act of travel requires spending time in high-traffic areas such as airports or train stations which can expose you to high percentages of viruses and bacteria. Typically, your body is well adept at handling most viruses and bacteria, however, if you have an immune deficiency of any degree, or even just tired and somewhat dehydrated, it is very possible to become sick from the germs and viruses around you.

IV Infusion therapy is a preventative method to avoid getting sick. IV Drips can be specifically formulated to assist in boosting your immune system with natural vitamins and minerals. A boosted immune system can help you fight off, or even prevent you from becoming sick with seasonal flu and colds which are rampant during the winter months.


Many travelers report getting sick with the cold or common flu after or during travel, particularly during the winter months when temperatures drop and more people are on planes to visit friends and family for the holidays and vacations. A recent report cited that travelers are about twenty percent more likely to catch a cold or flu virus while traveling by airplane as opposed to living their normal lives on the ground. While it’s not a surprise that airplanes harbor a lot of germs as they shuffle hundreds of people daily to a wide array of destinations, it is possible to boost one’s immune system leading up to a trip or right after a trip, to lessen the chances of becoming sick.

How to Avoid Getting Sick


1. Boost Energy, Hydration, and Immunity

High-doses of vitamins like the dosage used in our Wellness IV Infusion, promote an improved immune response. Our bodies are constantly working hard to protect us from viral and bacterial infections. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight off illness. The human body does not produce vitamin C. It must be obtained from outside-the-body sources either by consuming citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges) or by taking supplements. IV Therapy delivers high doses of Vitamin C directly into the bloodstream for the body to start using immediately. New studies confirm that vitamin C supplementation shortens the duration and mitigates the severity of colds, while also preventing colds from developing.

Our wellness formula IV drip can be taken as a preventative measure before, during or after a vacation, a business trip, or other high-stress situations. It can also be taken at the first signs of a common cold or flu, or whenever you feel a little depleted.

2. Stay Hydrated

Proper hydration is important to maintain each and every cell and system in your body working in its best ability. The human body is composed of 60% water – as such, even a slight dip in hydration can cause problems in your system, including headaches, fatigue, and even shakiness and anxiety. When you’re sick with the flu or cold, your body is putting in extra work to fight off illness. It is very important to remain hydrated to assist your body in repairing and recovery.

IV hydration therapy supports your body by immediately delivering essential fluids and electrolytes necessary for quick recovery. Our IV Therapy fluids are specially formulated to offer your system with the proper balance of electrolytes and key minerals needed for proper body functions. In fact, consuming extremely large amounts of water alone (h2o) either by drinking or intravenously can have its own adverse and dangerous effects on the body. That is why the IV solution must be properly balanced and only administered by medical professionals.

At IV Division each and every one of our IV treatments is medically monitored by Dr. Jarred Mait. At the time of the appointment, the IV drips are administered by highly skilled nurses or doctors at the location of your choice, be it in the comfort of your own home or hotel room.

To read more on the topic, read our post on hydration here.

3. Get Plenty of Sleep

Your body regenerates while you sleep. Lack of sleep has an adverse effect on your immune system, making you vulnerable to falling ill with a cold or flu more easily. In fact, lack of sleep can sometimes be a sign of not being hydrated enough. IV therapy boosts both your hydration and immunity with a balance of fluids and electrolytes and vitamins essential to a good immune response.

4. Wash Your Hands

Your mother is always right! Do wash your hands, especially after being in high traffic areas and touching things such as doorknobs, door rails, and airplane trays and seats. This keeps harmful bacteria and viruses from infecting you and can lower your chances of getting sick.

How to Cure A Hangover Fast

Hangovers are sometimes the morning-after misery of having spent a fun night out drinking with buddies or celebrating special occasions and holidays. It is a painful reminder that alcohol is actually a toxin and should only be consumed in moderation to avoid day-after sickness.
If you’ve ever had too much to drink, you are already familiar with the symptoms: a headache, dry mouth, sensitivity to light and sounds and even worse yet, nausea, dizziness, and upset stomach. When you find yourself suffering from a hangover, the only thing you want is a relief, and you need it fast.

While many “remedies” exists for hangover relief, none compare to hangover IV hydration therapy (Intravenous Therapy). The most effective way to alleviate the symptoms of a hangover is to establish proper hydration. IV drip therapy works by providing your body with essential fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins directly into the bloodstream.



IV therapy re-establishes proper hydration not just from hangovers but also during times of illness. For decades, this medical treatment was only available at hospitals and specialized clinics; however, IV infusion therapy is now mainstream and is available most in major cities around the world as an outpatient, elective service.

IV Division, based in Miami Beach, provides customized IV drips to alleviate a variety of health ailments in the comfort of your own home or hotel room. With one quick call, reserve an appointment and one of our doctors or registered nurses will come to you to deliver relief from a dreaded hangover.

How Long Does a Hangover Last?

Every hangover is different, and the severity of hangover symptoms can vary greatly even for the same person. Generally, the hangover’s severity depends on several factors that took place prior to your drinking. For instance, it is anecdotally believed that hangovers get worse with age. Also, your level of hydration before and during your night or day of drinking contributes to how dehydrated you become. If your immunity is compromised even before drinking, such as having a common cold, or if you’ve had little food, chances are much higher that you will have a serious hangover.

These factors, combined with the ill effects of consuming alcohol take a toll on you physically and culminate in a bad hangover. Studies have shown the more alcohol you consume in a short span of time, the stronger the hangover symptoms will be.

Mild hangovers can last a few hours and up to a half day after a night of drinking before you start to feel relief. Mild hangovers generally resolve themselves with time.

For more serious hangovers, symptoms can last up to three days. Serious hangovers with vomiting and rapid fluid loss lead to dehydration. If your hangover includes diarrhea, sweating, or vomiting, you may be even more dehydrated. Dehydration is caused when you are not taking in enough water to replenish the fluids being lost by your body through normal body functions such as digestion, or when fluids are lost from vomiting.

“Often, we see patients who are severely dehydrated, which makes the hangover symptoms even worse and leads to longer recovery times,” said Dr. Jarred Mait, of IV Division in Miami Beach. IV Division is a boutique medical practice, founded by Dr. Jarred Mait, MD to offer re-hydration and vitamin infusion services to locals and visitors in South Florida.


 Dehydration, while easily treatable, can cause many health problems. Dr. Mait added, “dehydration is the leading cause of complications from hangovers. Your body needs water for every function, without proper hydration, your body starts to shut down processes which lead to extreme fatigue, digestive problems, migraines and more.”

Dehydration is easily reversed by providing your body with fluids and electrolytes to bring your system back to a balanced state. The most effective way of doing this is by IV infusion therapy.

When to Seek Medical Help

If you were properly hydrated before drinking, alternated your alcoholic drinks with glasses of water, and limited your alcohol intake, chances are your hangover is mild and will resolve on its own within a few hours. However, if you consumed many alcoholic beverages in a short amount of time and are now suffering from a bad hangover, your recovery time will take longer. If you are unable to maintain fluids down and are experiencing nausea and vomiting, it is recommended you seek medical help as soon as possible to treat your hangover symptoms.

Reasons You Should Not Wait for a Hangover to be Over

“A common mistake we see at our practice often, is when people think they will rather wait out a hangover and hope for relief,” said Dr. Mait. “If the person is vomiting, they are already losing fluids rapidly. A hangover IV immediately will help reverse the ill effects of a hangover and speed up recovery.”

Here are three reasons why you should not simply wait for a hangover to end:

1.      Dehydration – as already covered earlier, dehydration causes many problems and will take you longer to start feeling relief from a hangover. IV therapy helps by replenishing your body immediately with lost fluids and electrolytes essential for a balanced body.

2.      Pain – Hangovers are usually associated with head and body aches; IV hangover infusion is specifically formulated to bring immediate relief for aches and pains. The longer you wait to book an IV therapy appointment, the longer you are subjected to migraines and aches.

3.      Nausea – vomiting and digestive problems only lead to more dehydration, when these symptoms are present, it is important to get medical help. Dehydration, while easily treatable, can cause problems that take longer to resolve, including triggering a migraine.

The good news is that hangovers are quite common and quite manageable. With today’s advancements in medical services, IV therapy is easily accessible with one phone call to IV DIVISION. Next time you’re in bed and the room is spinning after a night (or day) of drinking, consider reserving an appointment for IV infusion therapy to cure hangovers.

IV Infusion Therapy For Food Poisoning

A bad case of gastrointestinal illness, commonly known as food poisoning, can wreck the best-laid plans, but fortunately, there exists an easy and effective cure: IV Therapy for re-hydration. Whether you are a local South Floridian or here on vacation or business, a case of food poisoning can seriously mess up your plans and leave you feeling sick for days. But it doesn’t have to be this way – food poisoning relief starts the moment you book IV Division for an IV drip treatment. Food-related illnesses are certainly uncomfortable but are preventable and easily treatable to mitigate any long-lasting problems or complications.

Of all the treatments available to help alleviate symptoms of food poisoning, IV Therapy (intravenous therapy) is by far the quickest and most effective way to bring relief and rapid healing.  Food poisoning can manifest in several ways, most common are stomach pains, sudden nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.



“Patients suffering from food poisoning, which can range from mild to severe symptoms, see beneficial results after about 30 minutes from receiving an IV infusion drip,” said Dr. Jarred Mait, the chief medical operator at IV Division. “Our IV treatments include medications custom blended to relieve symptoms that include dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, and other digestive problems.”

At IV Division, our medical doctors and our IV therapists, who are highly trained and licensed nurses, specialize in providing the proper medications to treat food illnesses. Based in Miami Beach, we serve the South Florida region with on call, at-home treatments. Our IV infusions with essential fluids, electrolytes, and medicine, quickly remedy a variety of conditions and illnesses. Each customized treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes and can be administered in the comfort of your home, or hotel room making this service especially helpful when a food illness is preventing you from leaving your room.

What is Food Poisoning?


Food poisoning occurs when you ingest harmful bacteria that your body cannot digest on its own. You typically get it from eating food or drinking water or other beverages that are contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, or toxins created from these. Most people develop symptoms within 24-hours of consuming contaminated food or beverages. Food poisoning, while very uncomfortable, generally only lasts a day or two for mild to moderate cases, while severe cases can last longer. The main cause of complications is usually due to dehydration from fluid loss.

How does IV therapy cure food poisoning


Food poisoning, depending on the length the individual has gone without medical treatment and the degree and strain of bacteria or virus ingested, ranges from mild to severe. The longer the illness lasts, the more fluids your body is losing leading to quick dehydration. Dehydration occurs when your body is losing more fluids essential for each and every bodily function at a higher rate than the body can absorb and retain. If you are suffering from a bout of food poisoning, or have experienced one before, you know that even taking a sip of regular water can trigger a round of vomiting. If you cannot retain fluids, seek medical help immediately.

With food poisoning, drinking water alone is not enough to maintain or re-establish hydration when you are ill. Other instances when just drinking water is not enough are when your body is under stress from a hangover, gastrointestinal illness, a chronic disease, or even the flu. During these times of illness and physical imbalance, one’s body is tasked with repairing itself and needs hydration for recovery.

Furthermore, dehydration can make the symptoms of food poisoning even worse and take you longer to recover. Severe dehydration is dangerous and should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible.

Rapid Food Poisoning Relief




Treats Dehydration Instantly


When drinking water alone is not sufficient for hydration, IV Therapy (Intravenous Therapy) is the fastest and most effective way to get fluids back into your system. To avoid dehydration, a Recovery IV Treatment will cure the effects of food poisoning. Our IV Therapy fluids are specially formulated to offer your system with the proper balance of electrolytes and key minerals needed for proper body functions.

IV Infusions Provide Medicine


Secondly, IV fluid infusion therapy is used to administer medicine effectively and quickly. IV treatments are the most effective when the IV fluids are formulated with a blend of medicines and vitamins targeted to speed up recovery. When you are ill from a food illness, symptoms of indigestion, upset stomach and vomiting can be resolved with medicine added to the IV bag. Your IV Therapist will add specific prescription level medicines to ease heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and headaches. Always consult with a medical professional to ensure you are receiving the correct medications needed.

Fluids are Administered Intravenously, Bypassing Digestive System


The main reason to get an IV drip when sick with food poisoning is to get re-hydrated – but often, when you are sick to your stomach, it is the most difficult time to maintain food and fluids in your system. Your digestive system is under stress – by using IV therapy – the medicine and essential fluids needed for your recovery are delivered intravenously, effectively bypassing your digestive system. This ensures your body absorbs all the fluids administered and the medicines get to work faster to provide speedy relief.

Mobile IV Therapy – We Come to You!


When you are not feeling well, and the longest trip you’ve made all day is from your bedroom to the bathroom, the thought of getting dressed and leaving your house seems impossible. Luckily, mobile IV therapy services come to you!

“With IV Division, booking your IV drip treatment is quite an easy process. We accommodate same day appointments, and can typically be at your door within the hour of you booking an appointment. This rapid service is essential when suffering from the various effects of dehydration and food poisoning. If you’ve ever had food poisoning before, you want relief and fast.”

When to Call a Doctor?


Oftentimes people will try to recover on their own – while this is certainly an option, when your time is limited and your health and wellness is a priority, relief can be as simple as booking an IV treatment. It is recommended you seek medical help, in the form of IV therapy at the first signs of food poisoning. The sooner you call, the less severe the symptoms will be. If you’ve already waited a day or two, it is not too late to recover quickly with re-hydration.

As a general rule, book an IV treatment when the following symptoms and any combination of these are present:
  1. Signs of dehydration (see our blog on hydration here).
  2. Extreme thirst and dry mouth
  3. Inability to keep liquids down
  4. Vomiting and diarrhea that lasts several hours

IV Infusion Therapy For Migraines

When you have a lingering headache, ranging in severity from annoyingly dull to a pounding migraine, consider the amount of water you’ve consumed in the past day. The likely culprit for your pain could be that you are suffering from dehydration.

Migraines and cluster headaches are often the results of not drinking enough water. If this is your case, proper hydration can help treat and even prevent recurring episodes of migraines and headaches. If you suffer from chronic headaches but are not able to drink enough water - either because of your busy schedule or your body’s absorption abilities are compromised by medication or physical ailments - IV Hydration Therapy can aid to boost your fluid intake.



IV Therapy (intravenous therapy), used in hospitals and clinics for decades to treat dehydration and deliver medicines intravenously, helps alleviate and prevent the onset of migraines and headaches.
“Hydration is the key to wellness and feeling refreshed,” said Dr. Jarred Mait, owner and chief medical director of IV Division – a Miami based IV therapy service. “An IV infusion regulates your hydration levels with electrolytes and fluids. Clients typically start feeling hydrated within the same hour of receiving an IV treatment.”

Migraines and Headaches: Signs of Dehydration

For some, even mild dehydration can trigger a terrible migraine. A common dehydration headache, which is easily treatable and preventable, is caused by not having enough fluid in the body. Dehydration headaches can be relatively mild or as severe as migraines.

If you are not drinking plenty of water throughout the day, your body will trigger a set of physical responses to get you to remedy the lack of fluid intake:

The first indication is thirst. If your body’s automatic response for wanting more fluids is ignored, or you temporarily satisfy your thirst with sugary drinks like sodas or lattes, you can end up even more dehydrated as both sugar and caffeine have diuretic properties. This means that consuming drinks heavy in sugar and caffeine will cause you to lose more water from your system than you are taking in, leading you to remain dehydrated.

Secondly; prolonged dehydration, even mild, leads to headaches. A simple step that may lower the risk of developing a headache, especially in warm weather, is to stay properly hydrated. Studies have shown that dehydration causes blood volume to drop, researchers say, resulting in less blood and oxygen flow to the brain and dilated blood vessels. Sounds scary, but in fact, this is easily reversed by getting more fluids back into your body. Experts also suspect that a loss of electrolytes, which happens when you’re dehydrated, causes nerves in the brain to produce pain signals, and voila – you have a headache.

These signs combined are clear indications that your body is begging you to drink more water.
Drinking plenty of water regularly and daily can help you stay healthy. Water is essential – it helps regulate your body’s temperature, lubricates your joints, protects soft tissues, and flushes waste and toxins from your body. Staying hydrated also helps relieve the frequency and intensity of headaches and recurring migraines.

Reasons You are Dehydrated

Not drinking enough water daily – bored, of plain water? Try infusing it with fruit slices to give it a hint of natural flavor.
Loss of fluids – different conditions such as a hangover, food poisoning, gastrointestinal problems, vomiting or diarrhea can all cause this.
High temperature and not enough water to counteract the loss of fluids, but everyone during any time of the year regardless of the temps outside is susceptible to dehydration.

Here are 4 ways in which IV Drip Therapy can help you:


Lessens the Occurrence of Migraines

Dehydration migraines occur when you are not well hydrated. A simple way to avoid these types of migraines is to remain consistently hydrated. IV Therapy can help you achieve your long-term hydration goals. If you are not receiving enough fluids by drinking water, the intravenous route of administering fluids is your best option for boosting hydration quickly and effectively. At IV Division, we recommend our Wellness IV formula for fluids and an added boost of essential vitamins, or Recovery Hydration IV for fluid recovery when you need it most.

Fast and Effective Treatment

If you already are suffering from a migraine, you want relief fast. IV Infusions are the fastest way to get fluids, nutrients, vitamins, and medicine into your system. If the pain is forcing you to take a step back from your normal life, Ketorolac – a potent pain reliever and anti-inflammatory – is injected into the IV bag to remedy your symptoms.

Nourish Your Body With Electrolytes

IV hydration therapy provides your body with the correct blend of electrolytes needed to function properly. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and dextrose, and not just water alone, are needed to remain properly balanced. Consuming extremely large amounts of water alone (h2o) either by drinking or intravenously can have its own adverse and extremely dangerous effects on the body. That is why the IV solution must be properly balanced and must only be administered by an IV therapist, a highly trained medical professional.

Prevention

Prevention is key to avoiding the worst effects of a dehydration headache or a migraine. IV Therapy is safe to use as a preventative health method to maintain wellness. Since hydration is a building block for wellness, even if you don’t have consistent headaches, you can benefit from added hydration.

The daily demands of an active lifestyle and busy work schedules sometimes make it difficult to drink the recommended daily eight glasses of water or eat enough fruits and veggies to stay healthy. Chronic dehydration, even mild dehydration, can cause many problems to your health and even affect your energy levels and sleep patterns. If you’ve been feeling lethargic, fuzzy, and are reaching for ibuprofen more often than before, consider adding more glasses of water to your daily routine or booking IV therapy sessions.

So, next time you feel like reaching for a sugary drink or that second cup of coffee, reach for water instead. If you are suffering from constant headaches, and know you’re not drinking enough water, make an appointment with an IV therapist for a hydration IV Drip that is customized to your needs.
IV Division is a Miami Beach-based mobile IV hydration company, providing in-home IV infusions with essential fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants, to quickly relieve a variety of conditions – including migraines and severe headaches.

IV Therapy: The Newest Trend in Wellness

To call IV Therapy (intravenous therapy) a trend is a misnomer and is dismissing this simple but important and beneficial procedure as a passing fad that will be obsolete when a newer wellness technique hits the market. We’re convinced this is not the case as IV Therapy has been utilized in the medical world for decades. What is new is the accessibility factor as more and more clinicians and practitioners offer IV treatments as part of their wellness services.

IV Hydration

What is IV Therapy?

IV Therapy became widely available in hospitals in the 1950s as a means of keeping patients properly hydrated. For decades, hospitals have relied on IV Infusions to deliver life-sustaining treatments, hydration, and medicine to patients undergoing illness or medical treatments. Since then, advancements in modern medical technology have made IV therapy more easily accessible to the public without the need of a hospitalization. Today, the wellness world has embrace IV Therapy with many clinics and private doctors offering IV drips as part of their wellness services.

IV drip clinics and mobile IV drip services are particularly popular in hot and humid vacation destinations like South Florida - especially Miami and Miami Beach. The rise in popularity of IV treatments is proof this is a quick procedure that will help you recover from a variety of conditions quite rapidly. Now, more patients have the accessibility to IV therapists who can recommend individualized IV formulas designed to best fit each patient’s needs.

One such service is IV Division – based in Miami Beach, we serve the South Florida region with on demand, at-home treatments. Our IV infusions with essential fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants, quickly remedy a variety of conditions and illnesses. Each customized treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes and can be administered in the comfort of your home, hotel room, office or special event.

Should You Try IV Therapy?

You may have seen pictures of your friends or celebrities on social media posting pictures hooked up to an IV during vacation or recovering from a hangover. You may also be wondering if what they’re doing could be accessible to you. The answer is yes – IV therapy is a safe and effective way to treat a variety of symptoms including dehydration, a hangover, jet lag, migraines, gastrointestinal problems and more. In fact, many IV therapists also offer IV drips as preventative measures to improve your immune response and as a way of maintaining proper hydration.

Why is Hydration So Important?

You may have heard the common guideline that you need to drink eight 8oz glasses of water daily. While this is a general guideline for an average adult, each person is different and you may need more or less depending on your own needs. However, water and fluid intake, in general, is an essential need for survival and sustaining good health. Each cell in your body contains water – water is necessary for your body to function and perform each and every daily task from simply breathing to running a marathon.

Although hydration is fundamental to proper health, and even survival, sometimes maintaining proper hydration is not as simple as drinking water. If you’re not properly hydrated and no action is taken quickly to reverse fluid loss, this can lead to dehydration.

Instances, when drinking water alone is not enough to maintain or re-establish hydration, is when you are ill, such as when one is suffering from a hangover, food poisoning, gastrointestinal illness, or even the flu. During these times of illness and physical imbalance, one’s body is tasked with repairing itself and needs hydration for recovery.

Furthermore, dehydration can make the symptoms of a hangover even worse and take you longer to recover from a severe headache, fatigue, shakiness and general anxiety related to coming down from the effects of alcohol consumption.

IV Hydration

What Are The Signs And Symptoms of Dehydration?

Dehydration symptoms vary from mild to severe – the longer you take to address mild symptoms, the more severe your dehydration will become. The following are the signs and symptoms of dehydration…

  1. When it’s hot outside and you’re doing lots of strenuous activities like exercising outside, it’s pretty easy to start noticing you’re feeling thirsty and are losing fluids fast.
  2. However, if you are sick with the flu or have a busy day of traveling with little access to your normal amount of beverages at your reach, it may take longer for you to notice the symptoms of dehydration that slowly start creeping up on you.
  3. These symptoms generally start simple enough like when you start feeling thirsty. Some doctors and nutritionists say that the moment you feel thirst those are the first signs of mild dehydration.
  4. Other most common symptoms of dehydration include dry mouth and tongue, lack of tears/dry eyes, no urination for prolonged times, extreme thirst, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, and even sleeplessness.

When to See a Doctor

When drinking water alone is not sufficient for hydration, IV Therapy (Intravenous Therapy) is the fastest and most effective way to get fluids back into your system. To avoid dehydration, or to rehydrate faster, a Recovery IV Treatment can help you recover faster. Our IV Therapy fluids are specially formulated to offer your system with the proper balance of electrolytes and key minerals needed for proper body functions. In fact, consuming extremely large amounts of water alone (h2o) either by drinking or intravenously can have its own adverse and dangerous effects on the body.

At IV Division each and every one of our IV treatments is medically monitored by Dr. Jarred Mait. At the time of the appointment, the IV drips are administered by highly skilled nurses or doctors at the location of your choice, be it in the comfort of your own home or hotel room.

You should consult a doctor and seek an IV infusion when you start experiencing any symptoms of dehydration but especially when you cannot keep fluids down during instances such as suffering from a hangover, a food poisoning or other gastrointestinal problems that cause vomiting or diarrhea.

Hangover IV: What the Hangover Cure Really Does?

When the celebrations are over – be it a special milestone like a birthday, graduation or wedding; or a holiday weekend or long vacation – you may find yourself waking up the next morning with a hangover. The hangover symptoms, if you’ve ever had a little too much to drink you’re all too familiar with, including shakiness, fatigue, irritability, severe headache and in some cases, gastrointestinal problems like nausea and vomiting. A bad hangover not only leaves you feeling physically terrible, but can also stop you from enjoying the rest of your day, or even cause you to miss out on business or social events.

A day wasted hangover is always bad, but especially more so if you’re on vacation in Miami, enjoying a bachelor/bachelorette weekend on Miami Beach or have serious social or professional plans in Brickell that you cannot afford to miss.



When you’re hungover, you want relief and you want it fast. The good news is that it does get better, and with services like IV Therapy, the wait time to relief is dramatically cut-down to get you feeling better, faster. If you’ve ever said “I’d give anything to not be hungover anymore,” then you’re in luck – you’re just a few minutes away from booking your appointment with IV Division and a nurse being at your bedside with precious fluids for relief and rehydration.

After receiving an IV treatment, most people generally start feeling better within 30-45 minutes of getting an IV drip. As opposed to the hours of lying in bed, eating greasy food, and drinking what seems like endless bottles of sports drinks in hopes that a headache and general ill feelings go away.

So How Does Mobile IV Therapy Service Work?

After booking your appointment with us thru a quick call directly with us, where we will ask you about symptoms, location and number of people doing the IV in your party, we will dispatch one of our licensed and insured nurses or medical doctors to come to your door. We can do IVs for individuals, or groups, in the comfort of your own home, hotel or even an event or conference. Essentially, anywhere you are as each appointment is customized to your individual needs.
Pre-booking appointments is encouraged, especially for large groups, but we are also able to accommodate last minute requests. Our aim is to be at our patient’s home within the hour of booking the appointment. We know first-hand how important it is to start feeling better when you’re dealing with a hangover.

Did You Say There’s a Hangover Cure?

There’s a lot of components that go into making you hungover – and just as many different symptoms working simultaneously to make you feel less than great. But mainly, the reason why you’re ill is from drinking too much – drinking alcoholic beverages, even in small quantities, has a poisonous effect on the body. Basically, a hangover is alcohol poisoning and can be mild to moderate to severe. The more drinks you consume at one time, the sicker you will be.



To counteract the effects of alcohol, you must re-hydrate to both replenish your body with vital electrolytes lost during hours of drinking and to flush out toxins created by the drinking. Despite alcohol being a fluid it also acts as a diuretic, meaning that drinking alcoholic beverages cause your body to lose fluids at a quicker rate than normal. The human body is 60% water. So, when drinking alcohol, your chances of dehydration increase quickly. Loss of fluids in your system also causes an imbalance of electrolytes, which all contribute to fatigue, trembling, nausea and more.

Alcohol increases the production of stomach acid and irritates the lining of your stomach – which can lead to nausea, upset stomach and even vomiting. Alcohol can also trigger an inflammatory response from your immune system. All these factors combine to leave you with a sense of illness all over.
By calling IV Division (ivdiv.com), based in Miami Beach, a medical professional can be at your door within an hour to provide you an IV drip infusion customized to your specific needs to fight the symptoms of a hangover.

How Does IV Infusion Cure Hangovers?

Short answer: by replenishing your body with crucial fluids and electrolytes lost during drinking. We also add medicine to the bag to curb any pain or nausea you may be experiencing.

Long answer: The body is like a finely tuned machine, but in times of imbalance, such as when you’re dehydrated and hungover, the body is spending a lot of energy trying to re-balance itself to get rid of toxins that are causing havoc in its systems.

IV therapy (Intravenous therapy) is a convenient and effective way of administering fluids, electrolytes, medications, and nutrients back into your body - fast. By administering intravenously, the fluids carrying the fluids and medicines essential to kick-start your hangover recovery, go directly thru the bloodstream, skipping past the digestive system, and allowing them to start working faster to bring you relief.

7 Advantages Of IV Infusion Therapy


IV therapy (Intravenous therapy) is a convenient and effective way of administering fluids, electrolytes, medications, and nutrients back into your body - fast. By administering intravenously, the fluids carrying vitamins, medicines, and nutrients go directly thru the bloodstream, skipping past the digestive system, and allowing them to reach your vital organs at faster speeds to get to work.

For decades, hospitals have relied on IV Therapy to deliver lifesaving treatments to people undergoing illness or suffering from dehydration. Today, the wellness world has embrace IV Therapy with many clinics and private doctors offering IV drips as part of their wellness services. These clinics are especially popular in hot and humid vacation destinations like South Florida - especially Miami and Miami Beach. This growing trend allows more patients accessibility to IV therapists who can recommend individualized IV formulas designed to best fit each patient’s needs.

There are many benefits to IV Therapy – here are just a few, to learn more, contact IV Division with your specific needs.

Our customized IV treatments take about 45 minutes and can be administered in the comfort of your home, hotel room, office or special event.

1. Increased Energy

With the high demands of daily life, many of us experience chronic tiredness or fatigue, headaches and migraines, and sleep imbalances. In fact, what many people don’t know is that fatigue can often be a symptom of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. In this case, IV infusion therapy can help bring harmony and balance to one’s body while boosting the immune system – this, in turn, helps in getting you back to feeling refreshed and energized.

Often, an IV therapist will also recommend adding vitamin B12 to your infusion –Vitamin B12 is used for various wellness functions like increasing energy, boosting red blood cell production, and helping to regulate sleep, mood, and appetite cycles. Adding a Vitamin B12 supplement directly into your bloodstream works faster than taking a supplement, as supplements need additional time to be absorbed into your system.

2. Immediate Hydration

The average human body is made up of 60 percent water. High temperatures, drinking alcoholic beverages (including wine and beer), and high-intensity activities like exercise, dancing and a day at the beach– all popular activities during vacation, can lead to dehydration. The causes of dehydration include diarrhea, vomiting, and sweating from food poisoning or a severe hangover.

To support all of your major organs instantly, you need to get an IV infusion, also known as IV Drip, to provide your body with optimum hydration. When you are suffering from a hangover, your body needs immediate hydration to avoid dizziness and nausea. To avoid dehydration, a hangover IV cure treatment can help you recover faster.

3. Vitamin Absorption

IV Therapy allows your body to use the vitamins and nutrients faster, for a more effective recovery than taking traditional oral supplements which must first travel through your gastrointestinal tract. Because the medicines and nutrients with IV therapy are being directly administered into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system, the medicine can get to work faster. Instantly providing vitamins into your bloodstream can help your body recover from illnesses such as food poisoning or hangovers much faster than waiting for the medicine to be absorbed and digested by your body.

Doctors agree that one of the best courses of action you can take to help your body fight off illness is to remain well hydrated.
