What is Revival Treatment?
Revival treatment is a form of IV hydration therapy from Soma Plastics that helps replenish nutrients and improve hydration. It is primarily used to treat hangovers, food poisoning, and other internal discomforts. Studies have shown that undergoing IV treatment for hangovers can shorten the duration of symptoms like:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Muscle pain
Revival Treatment has been around for years and has become one of the most effective methods to relieve hangover symptoms quickly.
How does it work?
Revival Treatment helps relieve your hangover by replenishing the nutrients lost due to the diuretic effects of alcohol. IV bags for hangovers are filled with a saline solution containing vitamins and nutrients such as:
- Electrolytes
- B-12
- Magnesium
- Vitamin C
Curing a hangover involves rehydrating the body, replenishing lost nutrients, and flushing out harmful toxins. Hangover IV treatments replenish these vitamins and nutrients and rehydrate your body while simultaneously flushing out toxins. This treatment allows you to recover from your hangover faster than if your body were to recover naturally.
What causes a hangover?
Hangovers are the result of excessive alcohol intake. Ethanol, the base form of alcohol, is a toxic chemical that works as a diuretic.
Diuretics make you urinate more frequently than usual, dehydrating your body in the process. Consuming too much ethanol can lead to intense dehydration, which results in the uncomfortable symptoms listed above.
Revival Treatment reverses these adverse symptoms be cleansing your body of ethanol and restoring your electrolyte and fluid balance.
What can I expect when I undergo Revival Treatment?
Receiving IV therapy for hangovers is a quick and painless process. Each treatment typically follows these steps:
- A nurse will ask you about your symptoms and take your vital signs, such as your blood pressure and temperature.
- The nurse will insert a hangover IV drip filled with a special concoction of vitamins and nutrients into your arm.
- You can sit back and relax as the IV nutrients cleanse and rehydrate your body.
How long does a Revival Treatment take?
You will begin to notice improved symptoms in as little as 3 to 6 minutes, and the entire treatment takes less than an hour. Treatment duration depends on factors like the size of your veins and the amount of fluid administered.
Are there different types of Revival Treatments?
We offer several different types of IV treatments to help cure your hangover. Each treatment uses a different combination of vitamins, nutrients, and fluids that target specific hangover symptoms you may be experiencing.
Who can benefit from Revival Treatment?
Those prone to symptoms of dehydration, especially nausea and vomiting, generally experience the best results with IV hangover treatments. However, anyone who experiences uncomfortable hangovers can benefit from IV therapy. Revival Treatment is best suited for adults who are at least 21 years of age.
Does Revival Treatment only treat hangovers?
Revival Treatment can treat internal discomforts ranging from a hangover to food poisoning to a mild upset stomach. Many times, stomach sickness leads you to become dehydrated, and Revival Treatment can help restore fluids lost while you were ill.
The nutrients in IV hangover treatments can help anyone feel more alert, hydrated, and healthy. Treatments contain necessary substances to maintain a healthy body, meaning they are safe and beneficial for most people.
How long will the results last?
The replenishing IV solution will continue hydrating your body for up to three days. These fluids will naturally flush out of your system each time you urinate, so you should continue drinking water to keep your body hydrated in between treatments. Some patients find that receiving one treatment every few weeks is sufficient, but heavy or frequent drinkers can benefit from a few sessions a week.
Can Revival Treatment prevent hangovers?
Revival Treatment can also be used to prevent hangovers. The treatment will over hydrate your body so that after the dehydration that occurs with a night of drinking, you will have sufficient hydration and nutrients to prevent a hangover.
Those prone to especially severe hangovers, including intense symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, should receive Revival Treatment prior to drinking.
Are there any risks associated with Revival Treatment?
Receiving an IV hangover cure is safe for most people. However, there are some risks you should be aware of that can coincide with this treatment.
IV Side Effects
Undergoing an IV treatment of any kind can sometimes result in adverse side effects, such as:
- Pain and swelling around the injection site
- Tissue damage
- Phlebitis
- Infection
These side effects are rare, and your nurse can help determine if you are experiencing any unusual effects from your IV. Be sure to tell your nurse if you have experienced side effects from IVs in the past.
Revival Treatment Side Effects
Most patients do not feel any adverse effects after receiving Revival Treatment. However, some side effects are rarely associated with receiving an IV hydration treatment for hangovers. These may include:
- Compromised kidney function (especially if you have experienced kidney stones in the past)
- Overload of vitamin C
- Cell destruction
Revival Treatment is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women or those with serious health conditions. Our medical team will help determine if you are a good candidate for Revival Treatment based on your medical history.
Revival Treatment is not a cure or prevention for alcohol poisoning. Similarly, Revival Treatment does not slow down or stop alcohol’s effects on your body. If you suspect you may be suffering from alcohol poisoning rather than a hangover, seek medical attention immediately.
How often can I receive Revival Treatments?
You should wait at least three days between each treatment to allow your body time to flush out the previous round of IV fluids. Our medical team will help you determine how often you should receive Revival Treatments based on the intensity of your symptoms.
