Varnado is an attorney and a repeat client. This week, she tried the "party drip" which is a hangover cure.
"I do feel clarity of mind actually," said Varnado. "It has more of a mental effect I think."
The doctor behind drive used to work in the emergency room at Memorial Hermann Hospital and is an orthopedic surgeon.
"So, it's not just all about a quick fix, there are health benefits," said Dr. Gene Lou.
ThrIVe Drip Spa claims in 45 minutes or less, a treatment can hydrate your body from head to toe while delivering a hefty dose of vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into your bloodstream. Some drip treatments also claim to give your immune system a boost.
However, the drip isn't for everyone. Doctors say, if you have any heart or lung issues you will be screened before going through a treatment just to be safe.
