IV BASIC HYDRATION
Foundational Hydration Therapy
Rapid rehydration when you need it most. Our foundational IV delivers one liter of electrolyte-balanced saline solution directly to your bloodstream—bypassing digestion for immediate absorption. Perfect for desert climate recovery, jet lag, post-workout replenishment, or whenever life leaves you depleted.
HOW IT WORKS
Your body is approximately 60% water, and even mild dehydration affects every system—energy, cognition, skin quality, digestion, and physical performance. The problem is that drinking water, while essential, is a slow and inefficient rehydration method. IV hydration solves this by delivering fluids exactly where they're needed most.
Here's the science behind IV hydration:
Direct Bloodstream Delivery: When you drink water, it must pass through your stomach, be absorbed by your intestines, and then enter your bloodstream. This process takes time and isn't 100% efficient—some fluid is lost to digestion itself. IV hydration bypasses this entirely, delivering saline solution directly into your circulatory system for immediate distribution to every cell.
100% Absorption: Every drop of IV fluid reaches your bloodstream. There's no absorption barrier, no digestive loss, no waiting for your gut to process. This makes IV hydration dramatically more efficient than oral intake—especially when you're already dehydrated and your digestive system isn't functioning optimally.
Electrolyte Balance: Our Basic Hydration IV uses saline that's isotonic to your blood—meaning it has the same concentration of electrolytes as your body's natural fluids. This allows for optimal cellular absorption and prevents the dilution effects that can occur when drinking large amounts of plain water.
Rapid Cellular Rehydration: Once in your bloodstream, the fluid immediately begins distributing to cells throughout your body. Skin cells plump with hydration. Brain cells regain optimal function. Muscles receive the fluid they need. The effects are systemic and begin within minutes of starting the infusion.
Volume Restoration: Dehydration reduces blood volume, forcing your heart to work harder and reducing oxygen delivery to tissues. One liter of IV saline restores blood volume, easing cardiovascular strain and improving oxygen circulation throughout your body.
During your Basic Hydration session, you'll relax in a comfortable treatment chair while one liter of saline solution infuses over approximately 30-45 minutes. Many clients feel improvement before the bag is even empty—increased energy, clearer thinking, and a sense of restoration. The full effects continue developing over the hours following treatment as your body distributes and utilizes the fluids.
WHAT'S IN IT
Basic Hydration keeps it simple and foundational:
Normal Saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride)
One liter of isotonic saline solution—the same concentration of salt as your blood plasma. This is the gold standard for medical rehydration, used in hospitals worldwide. Isotonic saline is absorbed efficiently without disrupting your body's natural electrolyte balance.
Electrolytes
Sodium and chloride in balanced proportions support nerve function, muscle contraction, and fluid balance. These essential electrolytes are often depleted through sweating, illness, or inadequate intake.
Sterile Water
Medical-grade purified water serves as the base for the saline solution, ensuring safety and purity for direct bloodstream delivery.

WHY OUR CLIENTS LOVE THIS TREATMENT
Our clients love Basic Hydration because it works—fast. That afternoon slump, that dehydration headache, that party hangover—they feel relief within minutes, not hours. It's the most efficient way to rehydrate, and the results speak for themselves.
Our clients love it for desert living. Roseville heat is relentless, and staying hydrated through drinking alone is a constant battle. Basic Hydration provides a rehydration reset that drinking water simply can't match. Locals make it a regular part of their wellness routine.
Our clients love the simplicity. No complicated formulations, no decisions to make—just pure, effective hydration. It's the foundation that makes everything else work better. Many clients use Basic Hydration as their entry point to IV therapy before exploring enhanced formulations.
Our clients love it for recovery. Whether it's a rough night out, an intense workout, a long flight, or recovering from illness, Basic Hydration accelerates the bounce-back. Why suffer through slow recovery when rapid rehydration is available?
Our clients love the affordability. As our foundational IV, Basic Hydration offers the core benefits of IV therapy at an accessible price point. It's hydration that fits into your budget while delivering real, noticeable results.
Our clients love how they look afterward. Hydrated skin is visibly different—plumper, more radiant, healthier. Many clients notice an immediate improvement in their complexion. It's wellness that shows.
"I moved to Roseville from Seattle and could not handle the heat. No matter how much water I drank, I always felt depleted. A friend suggested Basic Hydration and I was skeptical—how different could it be? Night and day. Within 20 minutes I felt like a different person. Now I come in twice a month, and I finally feel like I can thrive in the desert instead of just survive it."
THE EVOLUTION: FROM DRINKING TO DIRECT DELIVERY
The Problem with Traditional Hydration
We've always been told to drink eight glasses of water a day. While oral hydration is essential, it has significant limitations that become apparent in challenging conditions.
Absorption takes time. When you drink water, it must travel through your esophagus, sit in your stomach, pass through your intestines, and then be absorbed into your bloodstream. This process takes 1-2 hours—and that's when you're healthy. If you're already dehydrated, your gut may not be functioning optimally, slowing absorption further.
You can only absorb so much at once. Drink too much water too quickly and most of it passes right through you. Your body can only absorb about 1 liter per hour through the digestive system under ideal conditions—often less.
Plain water dilutes electrolytes. Drinking large amounts of plain water without electrolytes can actually dilute your blood sodium levels. This is why athletes use sports drinks—but even those have absorption limitations.
When you need it most, it works least. If you're dehydrated, hungover, or recovering from illness, your digestive system is compromised. Nausea, vomiting, or simply poor gut function can prevent adequate oral rehydration exactly when you need it most.
The IV Hydration Difference
IV hydration bypasses every limitation of oral intake:
Immediate Availability: Fluids enter your bloodstream directly and begin distributing to cells within minutes. There's no waiting for absorption—rehydration begins immediately.
Complete Absorption: 100% of the IV fluid reaches your bloodstream. Nothing is lost to digestion, nothing passes through unused. Every drop counts.
Balanced Electrolytes: Isotonic saline matches your body's natural fluid composition. You receive hydration and electrolytes in the exact proportions your body needs.
Works When Oral Can't: Nauseous? Can't keep fluids down? Digestive issues? IV hydration works regardless of gut function. It's hydration that bypasses the barriers.
Basic Hydration represents the evolution of rehydration—from slow, inefficient oral intake to rapid, complete IV delivery. It's the foundation of IV therapy and often all you need to feel dramatically better.

DISCLAIMER
IV therapy is administered by licensed medical professionals. While generally very safe, IV therapy carries risks including bruising at injection site, vein inflammation (phlebitis), infection (rare with proper technique), and allergic reactions (rare).
Basic Hydration IV is a wellness service, not a medical treatment. It does not treat, cure, or diagnose any medical condition. Those with serious medical conditions should consult their physician before receiving IV therapy.
IV hydration is not a substitute for medical treatment of severe dehydration, which may require hospital care. If you are experiencing severe symptoms, seek emergency medical attention.
Certain medical conditions, particularly heart and kidney disease, may contraindicate IV fluid administration. A health screening is conducted before treatment to ensure safety.
Individual results vary. The effects of IV hydration depend on your baseline hydration status, overall health, and individual physiology.
Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before receiving IV therapy.
