IV drip therapy (intravenous therapy) delivers a blend of vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into your bloodstream via a small cannula. Because it bypasses the digestive system entirely, your body absorbs close to 100% of the nutrients — compared to around 20–50% from oral supplements. At Social Remedy in Byron Bay, every IV infusion is prepared and administered by a qualified Registered Nurse.

A thin cannula is gently inserted into a vein, usually in the arm. A saline-based solution containing your chosen nutrients then flows through the drip over 30–60 minutes. The nutrients enter your bloodstream directly, meaning you feel the effects faster than you would with tablets or drinks. Our nurse will talk you through the process and check you're comfortable before we begin.

Depending on the drip you choose, benefits include rapid rehydration, increased energy and mental clarity, immune support, faster muscle recovery, improved skin radiance, and reduced hangover symptoms. Our most popular options are the Hangover Cure (Rehydrate, $280), Immune Boost ($350), and Power Up ($338) — each formulated for a specific outcome.

Most sessions at our Byron Bay clinic take between 30 and 60 minutes. You'll be seated in a comfortable massage chair while the drip runs. Bring headphones, a book, or just enjoy the downtime — many guests find it a genuinely relaxing experience.

Our IV drips range from $280 (Rehydrate) to $350 (Immune Boost), with most sessions sitting between $289–$341. Social Remedy Members receive 10% off all IV treatments. There are no hidden consultation fees — the nurse assessment is included with your booking.

IV therapy is very well tolerated when administered by a qualified professional. Minor, temporary effects such as slight coolness at the insertion site or mild lightheadedness are occasionally reported. All guests at Social Remedy have a pre-treatment consultation with our Registered Nurse to review your health history and confirm the drip is appropriate for you. We do not administer IVs without this step.

This depends on your goals. For general wellness and energy, once a month is a common starting point. For immune support during illness, or recovery after intense training, more frequent sessions may be recommended. Our nurse will suggest a personalised plan during your consultation. There's no obligation to commit to a schedule.

Eat a light meal or snack before arriving — having food in your stomach helps prevent any lightheadedness. Stay hydrated beforehand, wear comfortable clothing with easy access to your arm, and let us know of any allergies or medications during your nurse consultation.

The cannula insertion feels similar to a standard blood test — a brief pinch lasting a second or two. After that, most guests don't feel the drip at all and simply relax in the chair. Our nurses are experienced and take care to make the process as comfortable as possible.

No membership is required. IV drip therapy at Social Remedy is open to everyone — simply book online, choose your date and time, and pay on arrival or upfront. If you are a member, you'll automatically receive 10% off.
