A saline IV is best used for a customer who primarily needs to rehydrate and replenish their electrolyte balance. There are many reasons why someone could benefit from an IV bag of normal saline. Some of the most common scenarios are: Athletes: Athletes who compete in a long, difficult event or workout can lose a lot of moisture and sodium through sweat. This is especially true if you are competing in a hot environment. Dehydration can hurt an athlete’s performance, cause muscle cramps, or even be life-threatening in severe cases. Many athletes seek saline IV therapy before a big event to start as hydrated as possible and after an event to quickly recover. Hangovers: Alcohol is a diuretic, which can cause you to lose water over a long night of drinking. If you throw up as a result of partying a little too hard, you’ll lose more water and electrolytes. Dehydration can play a major role in the painful hangover you experience the morning after a big celebration or party. If you want fast relief for a hangover, a saline-IV bag can replenish your lost fluids and help you rebalance your electrolytes. Illness: Vomiting and diarrhea from illnesses like the flu, stomach bugs, and food poisoning can quickly lead to severe dehydration. While a saline IV won’t cure the underlying cause of your illness, it can help you stay hydrated so your body can focus on fighting your bug. Dehydration caused by illness can be life-threatening in severe cases. In these situations, it can be difficult for the sick person to keep down water or hydrating drinks and food. This is another reason why a saline IV, which is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, can be so effective. Outdoor adventures: You don’t have to be an athlete to deal with dehydration. If you take a long hike outdoors, perform yard work on a hot day, or simply spend the day at the lake or beach without drinking enough water, you may develop mild or even severe dehydration. Symptoms like tiredness, loss of focus, and muscle cramps can impede your quality of life. A Simply Saline IV can help you feel focused and energized again.
