IV therapy for seasonal allergies

Nasal congestion, itchy/watery eyes, cough, and wheezing are common symptoms associated with seasonal allergies or hay fever. These symptoms result from an immune response generated by the body when exposed to an allergen. People often experience worsening symptoms after recurring exposure which is typical of most immunologic reaction after repeated challenge from the same agent. Together these symptoms significantly decrease the quality of life and productivity. Fortunately, there are some remedies that range from ingestion of locally sourced honey to desensitize the body from regional pollen to over the counter medications. Now a superior alternative exists in the form of IV therapy at IV bars in NYC, London, Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles and other major cities.

Allergies are manifested when an agent, called the allergen, triggers an immunologic response. This occurs in a similar manner when the body fights off an offending infection. The allergen in this case triggers a whole cascade of bodily responses that results in inflammation and histamine release. Together they cause blood vessels in the body to become leaky and spasm of muscles lining the respiratory airway which is what causes the significant itchy eyes, nasal congestion, and wheezy cough that people experience.

Therapy typically involves the administration of anti-histamines; however, the concept of hydration and allergen dilution is often deemphasized. The human body is an evolutionary masterpiece that has developed mechanisms to defend against offending agents for as long as we have lived. The central theme to this mechanism is hydration and elimination of the irritant. Even though the watery eyes and nasal congestion may be extremely uncomfortable, it is the body’s way to locally flush out allergens and limit further exposure. IV drips are so effective at reducing symptoms because they similarly systemically flush out the allergens and inflammatory mediators from the inside.
