IV Therapy
At House of Healing Integrative Medical Center, IV therapy is more than hydration. It’s a lifeline for patients with complex chronic conditions who need cellular-level support. Whether you’re recovering from chronic fatigue, managing mast cell activation, living with POTS/dysautonomia, or seeking anti-inflammatory and regenerative benefits, IV therapy can help replenish and restore what your body needs most.
Dr. Stephanie Abrams, triple board-certified in Pediatrics, Gastroenterology, and Obesity Medicine, has designed customized IV protocols for patients who require targeted nutritional and medical support. Each formula is developed based on your condition, history, and lab results, ensuring your treatment is both safe and effective.
Designed around each patient’s specific medical needs.

Overseen by Dr. Abrams, an NIH-funded physician with lived experience in complex care.
IV therapy (intravenous therapy) delivers fluids, vitamins, and medications directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for faster and more efficient absorption. For patients with chronic illness, this route ensures nutrients and therapeutic agents reach the cells where they’re needed most.
At House of Healing, IV therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each infusion is carefully formulated to match your body’s needs, whether you’re managing dehydration, mitochondrial dysfunction, histamine overload, inflammation, or other conditions.
Our IV formulations include:
Your IV session takes place in a calming environment designed to feel more like home than a clinic. After a careful review of your medical history and recent labs, your infusion is prepared and administered under Dr. Abrams’ oversight.
You can relax in one of our comfortable chairs, either in a shared IV suite or a private room, while your infusion runs. Most treatments last 30 to 90 minutes. Patients often describe feeling restored, clear-headed, and refreshed after treatment.
IV therapy can support healing and symptom relief in a range of chronic and complex conditions, including:
By directly nourishing the body, IV therapy supports cellular repair, hydration, and balance, helping patients regain clarity, stamina, and stability. Dr. Abrams will work with you to determine the best therapy for your precise needs.
Many patients describe IV therapy as helping them “feel like themselves again.” Depending on the formula, benefits may include improved hydration, reduced fatigue, enhanced focus, decreased inflammation, and a steadier sense of well-being. The IV infusion process is simple, relaxing, and tailored to you, with Dr. Abrams personalizing your IV drip formula to meet your body’s specific needs.
If you experience fatigue, poor recovery, dehydration, Autism, POTS, MCAS, or chronic illness; IV therapy may be a valuable addition to your care plan. It’s often part of an integrative treatment approach for patients with complex medical histories or nutrient absorption challenges.
Most patients tolerate IV therapy well, though it may not be appropriate for those with certain heart, kidney, or vascular conditions. Dr. Abrams will review your medical background to ensure the therapy is both safe and effective for you.
There’s no recovery or downtime after IV therapy. You can return to your normal activities immediately. Some patients notice increased energy or a sense of calm shortly after treatment, while others experience gradual improvement over the course of several days/weeks depending on the treatment.
Hydration, nutrition, and rest remain important in the days following your infusion to maintain the benefits and continue supporting your body’s healing process.
Results vary depending on the condition being treated and the formulation used. Many patients report immediate relief from dehydration or fatigue, while others notice cumulative improvements in energy, cognition, and inflammation over time.
Because IV therapy is tailored to each patient, ongoing treatments may be scheduled weekly, biweekly, or monthly for sustained benefits. Dr. Abrams and her team will help you track progress and adjust your plan as your body heals.
At House of Healing in Torrance, IV therapy is part of a larger integrative vision that blends science, compassion, and lived experience. Dr. Abrams and her team understand the frustration of being dismissed or told “everything looks normal.” Here, you don’t have to prove your pain.
From hydration to mitochondrial support, every infusion is designed to restore balance and help your body function as it was meant to.
IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, allowing for faster and more complete absorption of nutrients and medications, which is especially helpful for patients with gut dysfunction or malabsorption.
Most treatments take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the infusion type.
The ideal frequency of treatments varies based on your condition and goals. Some patients come weekly during intensive treatment, others monthly for maintenance.
A small needle is used to start the IV, but most patients find the experience relaxing and comfortable once it’s in place.
Under Dr. Abrams’ pediatric care, certain IV formulations may be appropriate for children, particularly those with chronic or metabolic conditions.
Your treatment plan begins with a detailed consultation and lab review so Dr. Abrams can create a customized infusion protocol that meets your specific needs.
