hydration therapy
Intravenous fluid treatment
Hydration therapy is the intravenous administration of fluids, electrolytes, and sometimes vitamins directly into the bloodstream.
Medical settings use it to treat dehydration from illness or surgery.
Wellness spas and hangover clinics offer it as a quick recovery treatment: I booked a hydration therapy session after the bachelor party.
