Can Vitamin Infusions Help My Allergies?
Intravenous (IV) vitamin infusion treatments supply a personalized mix of vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, delivering fast relief of allergy symptoms. IV treatments also provide additional fluids to combat fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms of dehydration.
If you eat a variety of foods, you may think you get all the vitamins and nutrients you need, but you may still have a vitamin deficiency and not know it.
Dr. Walid Elkhalili and our expert team at Apex Medical Professionals in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, offer vitamin infusions to increase energy levels, improve health, and relieve allergy symptoms. Our specialized treatments can reduce sneezing and eliminate itchy, swollen eyes.
By providing your body with antioxidants and antihistamines that protect your body against allergy triggers, IV therapy decreases allergy symptoms and strengthens your immune system.
What causes allergies?
Your immune system usually knows which foreign substances are harmful and which are not. When you have allergies, your immune system overreacts after coming into contact with a relatively harmless external substance.
Instead of ignoring the harmless foreign material, your body mobilizes its defenses. Symptoms such as a stuffy nose, itching, sneezing, or shortness of breath are possible reactions. The triggering noninfectious substances (allergens) are typically harmless and don’t cause any direct damage.
Allergy symptoms
Allergies manifest through various symptoms. They occur locally or all over the body. Symptoms include:
- Itchy skin
- Blocked nose
- Runny nose
- Sneezing
- Itchy eyes
- Dry or red eyes
- Cough
- Asthma attack
An allergic reaction is how your body responds to an allergen. If you’re prone to allergies, your body reacts by producing allergic antibodies after the first exposure to a specific allergen, like pollen.
The antibodies locate the allergens and help remove them from your system. Then your body releases a chemical called histamine, which causes allergy symptoms.
How vitamin infusions reduce allergy symptoms
When your body releases histamine to fight allergies, it reacts by consuming fluids and nutrients to protect you from perceived germs. Vitamin infusion therapy provides your body with fluids, vitamins, and minerals it needs to continue protecting you.
Our vitamin infusion solutions contain anti-inflammatory ingredients, like vitamin C, to reduce irritation and boost your immunity to allergens. Your body can’t obtain high doses of beneficial vitamins through food or dietary supplements because it can’t sufficiently absorb them from the gastrointestinal tract.
Infusions allow your body to absorb higher amounts of nutrients because the vitamins enter your bloodstream directly, bypassing your gastrointestinal tract.
These elements help your body rehydrate and reduce your histamine response so you experience fewer allergy symptoms. IV treatments also supply your body with the nutrients you need to continue fighting allergies.
Dr. Elkhalili and our specialists at Apex Medical Professionals create customized IV treatment plans depending on your individual needs.
Vitamin infusions can’t eliminate allergies. Instead, they strengthen your body’s response when responding to allergens. You can use vitamin infusions on their own or with other allergy treatments to enhance your immunity.
