IV Therapy
Medically Supervised Intravenous Therapy
IV therapy delivers fluid and selected nutrients directly into the bloodstream. It may be appropriate in specific clinical situations, but it is not a universal solution for fatigue, immunity, detoxification or chronic symptoms.
Natural Beauty Medical Clinic requires a health assessment before treatment. The assessment reviews symptoms, diagnosis, medications, allergies, pregnancy status, kidney and heart conditions, laboratory results when relevant and whether oral treatment or medical investigation would be more appropriate.
