    Feeling Run Down This Flu Season? Here's Why an IV Can Help

    By Brenda Halliday, NP, Founder, Journey Health Institute · · 4 min read

    Flu season is here, and with it comes that run-down, can't-keep-anything-down feeling. When you're sick, drinking enough water or eating enough to get the nutrients you need can feel impossible. That's exactly when an IV can help the most.

    Why an IV Helps When You're Sick

    An IV skips your stomach completely. Fluids, vitamins, and minerals go straight into your bloodstream, so your body gets what it needs even when you're too nauseous to eat or drink. Most people feel noticeably better within the hour.

    Our Ozone Saline Base

    Here's what makes our IVs different: almost every formula we offer starts with ozone-treated saline instead of plain saline. Ozone is known for supporting your immune system, exactly what you want when something's going around. You can also get it on its own as a stand-alone Ozone Saline IV.

    Immune-Boosting Vitamin Mixes and Peptides

    Every IV is customized to what you need, and immunity is one of the most common asks this time of year. We can build your vitamin mix to focus on immune support alongside hydration and energy.

    If you want more than a one-time boost, we also offer peptide protocols that support immune function as part of a bigger picture, alongside better sleep and lower inflammation. That route starts with a consultation rather than a walk-in. Learn more about peptide therapy.

    Walk In, No Appointment Needed

    You don't need to book ahead for IV therapy. Just walk in Monday, or Wednesday through Friday, 10am to 2pm (closed Tuesday). Our best advice: come in at the first sign of feeling off, rather than waiting until you're flat on the couch.

    See our full IV menu for all our formulas and pricing, or book an appointment if you'd rather reserve a time.

    Don't wait until you're flat on your back. A little support early can make the whole week easier.
