IV therapy must be administered by a qualified nurse, paramedic, or doctor. Ask for the specific credential of the person inserting your IV. Legitimate clinics will answer this clearly — they should also have a supervising physician on-call or on-site for any adverse reactions.

Common IV formulas include saline with vitamins (B12, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc), NAD+, glutathione, or Myers cocktails. Ask for a full ingredient list before your session and disclose all current medications — some IV ingredients interact with drugs or are contraindicated in certain conditions.

A reputable IV clinic will complete a health intake form and review allergies, current medications, and medical history before every session. This is non-negotiable from a safety standpoint. If the intake process feels rushed or is skipped entirely, seek a different provider.

Infrared saunas use far-infrared wavelengths to heat body tissue directly at lower ambient temperatures (45–60°C), unlike traditional Finnish saunas that heat the air to 80–100°C. Contrast therapy combines heat and cold. Check each venue's service list or contact them directly to confirm which type they offer.
