Introduction

When it comes to losing weight, there is no miracle cure. Yet, there are several things one can do to make losing weight and fat simpler. A solid weight loss and weight control plan includes regular exercise, a wholesome, whole-foods-based diet and enough sleep. Metabolism drips (IV Drip Therapy) are another excellent method to aid with weight.

IV Drip Therapy

IV drip therapy includes infusion of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, selenium, chromium, vitamin C, B-12, the B-complex directly into the bloodstream. These nutrients slowly enter into the bloodstream over the course of 30-60 minutes. The body absorbs nutrients better when they are slowly infused into your system and helps to boost metabolism and burn stored body fat. These nutrients are absorbed more effectively and rapidly intravenously than orally [1].

• Vitamin B Complex: It can boost our mood and memory while engaging the brain in breaking food down into energy.
• Vitamin B12/ Cobalamin: It helps to maintain cellular level and metabolism efficiently.
• Vitamin C/ Ascorbic Acid: It manages stress responses and fatigue levels.
• Taurine: It helps to store energy and increase endurance.
• Methionine, inositol and Choline (MIC): It helps in fat breakdown and metabolic processes.

Side Effects of IV Drip Therapy

Dehydration, vomiting, nausea, headache, dizziness and allergic reaction to the IV fluids [2,3].

It’s critical to realize that IV drip treatment is not a remedy for weight loss. It is also associated with infection at injection site, rashes, vein inflammation and bruising, pain, swelling and scarring at the IV site. Due to side effects associated with IV drip therapy, ayurveda plays a significant role in weight loss and offers an easy and suitable approach for losing weight.

According to Ayurveda, the vata, pitta and kapha doshas-three body intelligences rule our constitution. Among these three bodily intelligences, weight growth is typically caused by an imbalance with the kapha dosha. Although kapha is necessary for immunity, strength, stability and protection, too much kapha can quickly result in weight gain. Maintaining proper diet and lifestyle practices can reduce kapha in our bodies.

Causes of kapha imbalance include excessive sleeping, less exercise, over-eating, eating processed food and at inappropriate times [4,5].
