Aquapuncture Nutritional IV Therapy blends modern sterile‑injection techniques with traditional acupuncture meridians. By delivering a tailored blend of vitamins, minerals, and fluids straight into the vein, the nutrients travel instantly to the cells, providing optimal hydration, rapid absorption, and a powerful immune boost that supports the root cause of your condition. The procedure begins with a quick pinch, then you simply relax while the infusion works its magic.
Because high‑dose vitamin C (HDVC) can be unsafe for people with G6PD deficiency, we screen every patient before treatment. If your labs show a normal G6PD level, you’re cleared for the HDVC infusion; if you’re deficient, the infusion is contraindicated to prevent hemolytic anemia. The G6PD test is repeated annually as part of your full Functional Medicine panel.
