IV therapy refers to getting nutrition into the body by directly injecting fluids into the patient’s veins. It was developed in the 1960s and was initially used to treat beagle puppies. Today, this therapy helps treat all sorts of illnesses and diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, short bowel syndrome, and gastroschisis.
In addition to providing relief for these conditions, IV nutrition is used to improve the patient’s overall health and quality of life. Cocktails — the solutions used in IV therapy — are now designed to target specific mental, physical, and emotional issues like depression, migraine, and a decrease in energy levels. Out of all the types of cocktails available today, Myers’ Cocktail is the oldest and most widely used.
The Cocktail
Myers’ Cocktail was invented by Dr. John Myers in 1971. The cocktail bearing his name includes a combination of the following:
