Infusion therapy
Drug therapy
During infusion therapy, depending on the symptoms, pain-relieving, relaxing, revitalizing, metabolism- and circulation-promoting substances are introduced into the body. Infusion therapy is now an integral part of clinical and outpatient care. Multiple sessions are often necessary. Infusion therapy should always be used as part of a holistic treatment plan.
Indications for infusions
- Tiredness and fatigue
- Lack of concentration, forgetfulness
- Decreasing performance, reaction speed, thinking ability
- Increased susceptibility to infection
- Chronic pain syndromes of all kinds, such as spinal diseases, osteoarthritis, rheumatism and nerve pain
- Therapy of cancer and/or side effects
- Treatment of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy
- Treatment of anemia (iron infusions)
- Treatment of Lyme disease (antibiotic infusions)
- Treatment of vitamin deficiency (vitamin injections / vitamin infusions)
Lyme disease, specifically Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease transmitted to humans almost exclusively by infected ticks (and, in rare cases, horseflies) through their bites. Treatment with antibiotics is successful in the first four to six weeks after infection. Unfortunately, the first signs of Lyme disease are often overlooked. As a result, effective treatment of Lyme disease is often considerably more difficult and complex. Lyme disease develops through various phases, from skin infection to spread throughout the body, and finally to the chronic stage. Unfortunately, there are no specific medications for treating Lyme disease. Effective drug therapy depends on the patient's general condition, age, and many other individual factors. The success of Lyme disease treatment depends essentially on the dosage and route of administration of the medications used. Furthermore, such treatment should be continued for a sufficiently long period to prevent relapses. Strengthening the body's own defenses is an important factor, as is dietary changes if necessary.
Vitamin infusions are currently a controversial trend. We have been offering them with great success for many years, based on conventional medical principles. Vitamin infusions are suitable for specific indications and for health-conscious, modern individuals. After a thorough consultation and preliminary examination, we adapt our concepts to your individual needs.

Iron infusions are an established treatment for iron deficiency and related complications, particularly when iron tablets do not produce the desired results or are not tolerated by the individual. Iron infusions and iron tablets have side effects. Oral administration primarily results in nausea, constipation, and similar symptoms. Parenteral administration via infusion can cause severe allergic reactions. Therefore, special caution and care are essential. The indication must also be correct. We therefore always insist on an initial consultation and a preliminary examination to guarantee the appropriate level of care. We are convinced that this form of therapy belongs in the hands of experienced physicians who can manage complications in case of doubt. During the initial consultation, we will provide you with detailed information about the costs of iron infusions.
Glutathione is a naturally occurring molecule that acts as one of the most important antioxidants in the human body. It consists of the three amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. As a key antioxidant, glutathione helps protect cells from oxidative stress and the associated damage caused by free radicals. It also plays a key role in the detoxification of metabolic waste products and environmental toxins, supports the immune system, and contributes to the regeneration of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.
With a glutathione infusion, the antioxidant is administered directly into the vein (intravenously). This method of administration allows for significantly higher bioavailability than can be achieved with oral glutathione supplements, as the active ingredient is not broken down by the digestive tract. The infusion is usually administered slowly over a period of 30 to 40 minutes.
Areas of application
Glutathione infusions are used particularly in the following areas:
- Support for chronic diseases: In cases of chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, or fibromyalgia, a glutathione infusion can help reduce oxidative stress.
- Neurological diseases: There is evidence that glutathione infusions can be supportive in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis.
- Liver detoxification: Since the liver is particularly dependent on glutathione, infusions are also used to support liver function – for example, after toxic exposure or as part of a detoxification process.
- Anti-aging and prevention: Due to its cell-protective effect, glutathione is considered an effective measure in preventive medicine and in the field of anti-aging.
Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing compound found in small amounts in almost all cells of the body. It plays a central role in energy metabolism, particularly in the conversion of nutrients into energy within the mitochondria. What makes alpha-lipoic acid particularly special, however, is its function as a universal antioxidant: It can neutralize free radicals in both water-soluble and fat-soluble areas of the cell, making it unique.
In addition, alpha-lipoic acid has the ability to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione, prolonging their effects in the body. It thus contributes significantly to strengthening the body's own antioxidant network and protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Areas of application
Alpha-lipoic acid infusions are used in various medical and therapeutic contexts. The most important areas of application include:
- Polyneuropathy: Alpha-lipoic acid is a proven treatment, especially for diabetic polyneuropathy. It can alleviate nerve damage caused by diabetes, reduce pain, and improve sensory disturbances.
- Chronic fatigue and exhaustion: In cases of chronic fatigue syndrome or general exhaustion, infusion therapy with alpha lipoic acid can help improve cellular energy and increase well-being.
- Liver diseases and detoxification: Alpha lipoic acid supports liver function, promotes detoxification, and is used to treat liver diseases such as fatty liver or hepatitis.
- Neurological diseases: Due to its neuroprotective properties, it is used in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease or as a supportive measure after strokes.
- Anti-aging and cell protection: Its antioxidant power makes alpha-lipoic acid interesting for preventive medicine and anti-aging, as it promotes cell protection and can counteract aging processes.
- Support for heavy metal exposure: Alpha lipoic acid can help bind heavy metals and eliminate them from the body, which is why it is sometimes used in detoxification protocols.
At a time when awareness of health and prevention is constantly growing, many people are looking for ways to specifically strengthen their immune systems and support the body's defenses. Immune booster infusions have established themselves in recent years as a popular and innovative method for supplying the body with important micronutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. They are used both in preventative medicine and in the recovery process after illness.
The effect of immune booster infusions is based on the targeted supply of micronutrients that are essential for the functioning of the immune system. Vitamin C, for example, supports the production and function of immune cells and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Zinc is involved in numerous metabolic processes and plays a crucial role in fighting viruses and bacteria. Selenium protects cells from free radicals and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
By combining various vital substances, the immune system can be strengthened, infections can be fought off, and recovery processes can be accelerated. Especially during times of increased stress—such as during periods of stress, intense physical or mental strain, after surgery, or during the winter months—an immune booster infusion can provide targeted support to the body.
- Strengthening the immune system: The infusion provides essential vitamins and minerals that directly benefit the immune system.
- Antioxidant protection: High doses of vitamin C and other antioxidants neutralize free radicals and protect cells.
- Fast action: By bypassing the digestive tract, nutrients are absorbed immediately and efficiently.
- Individually adaptable to specific needs and living circumstances
