The Recovery Infusion · Most Popular

Recovery

Rest · Rehydrate · Relieve

Recovery is our flagship infusion - and the one clients book most. It's our fullest, most generous blend: a litre of IV fluids carrying our most comprehensive supporting mix, delivered slowly while you settle in at home.

It's designed for the days you'd otherwise write off: the morning after a big celebration, the flat few days that follow long-haul travel, or the end of a stretch that has simply asked too much of you. One quiet hour, at home, with an experienced paramedic looking after the details.

Because of how the Recovery blend is put together, a one-off G6PD blood test and a recent kidney function result are required before your first session - your clinician will explain exactly why at your consultation, and there's more on how it works below.

What's in the bag

What's in Recovery

We don't publish the full ingredient list for each blend online - but we're an open book in person. Here's how Recovery comes together, and your clinician will walk you through exactly what's in it at your consultation.

IV Fluids

Sterile IV fluids - the same fluids used in New Zealand hospitals and ambulances every day - delivering fluid and electrolytes directly into your bloodstream.

Our fullest supporting blend

Recovery carries our most generous supporting mix - it's what makes it the flagship. Ask us what's in it when you enquire - we'll happily talk you through the full blend, and your clinician covers every component at your consultation.

Comfort, covered

Your paramedic also carries additional comfort measures that can be used at their discretion where clinically appropriate - included in the price, used only if you need them.

Prepared on site, for you

Nothing is pre-mixed in a warehouse. Your paramedic prepares the infusion in front of you on the day - and nothing is given without screening, consultation and your consent.

Who books it

When clients book Recovery

Recovery is the infusion clients reach for when the tank is properly empty. These are the days it was built for.

The morning after

Recovery is the infusion most often booked the day after a wedding, a milestone birthday or a long-planned night out - for the days you'd otherwise spend on the couch.

Long-haul travel

Crossing time zones is dehydrating and disorienting in equal measure. Clients returning from long flights book Recovery to draw a line between travel and normal life.

After you've overdone it

A brutal week, back-to-back events, a season that caught up with you all at once. Recovery is a deliberate, restful reset - one quiet hour instead of a written-off day.

What to expect

How your appointment works

From booking to the final set of observations, here's the shape of a Recovery appointment - simple, unhurried and entirely at home.

Step 1

One-off blood tests, first session only

Before your first Recovery session we need a one-off G6PD blood test and a recent kidney function result - it's because of how this blend is put together, and your clinician will explain exactly why at your consultation. Ask your GP, order them privately (around $95), or ask us about a lab referral (fee applies). Once your G6PD result is on file, it never needs repeating.

Step 2

Book online & clinical screening

Pick a time that suits you and complete a short health questionnaire. Every booking is individually reviewed by a clinician before it's confirmed - and may be declined on clinical grounds.

Step 3

A slow, quiet infusion at home

Recovery is deliberately unhurried: the blend is delivered slowly, usually over about an hour, while you rest in your own space. Dim the lights, queue something up, and let the appointment do its thing.

Step 4

Monitored from start to finish

You're monitored before, during and after the infusion, with a short observation period at the end - the same clinical habits your paramedic brings from ambulance practice.

For your safety, a one-off G6PD blood test and a recent kidney function result are required before your first session - your clinician will explain exactly why at your consultation. Request these from your GP, order them privately (around $95), or ask us about a lab referral (fee applies).

Good to know

The practical details

Allow about 90 minutes

Recovery runs slower than our other blends by design. Plan for a 90-minute appointment including consultation, set-up and observation.

We come to you

Home, office or hotel across Cambridge, Hamilton, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, Raglan and the wider Waikato - tell us your location when you book and we'll confirm.

Payment

Recovery is $415, paid securely online once a clinician approves your booking. Eftpos and credit card, bank transfer, or Afterpay on enquiry.

Screening comes first

Services subject to clinical suitability and screening. Recovery is a wellness service, not a medical treatment, and isn't a substitute for seeing your GP - or calling 111 in an emergency.

Questions

Recovery FAQs

What exactly is in Recovery?

We don't publish our full ingredient lists online - but we're an open book in person. Ask us when you enquire and we'll talk you through exactly what's in the blend, and your clinician covers it again at your consultation, including why each component is there, before anything is given.

Why do I need blood tests before Recovery?

It comes down to how the blend is put together. A one-off G6PD test rules out a rare inherited enzyme condition, and a recent kidney function result confirms your kidneys are working normally. Your clinician will explain exactly what this relates to at your consultation - it's a simple, sensible safety check.

How do I arrange the tests?

Three options: request them from your GP, order them privately (around $95), or ask us about a lab referral (a fee applies). Once your G6PD result is on file it never needs repeating - it's a one-off.

What if I'm feeling rough on the day?

Tell your paramedic - that's exactly what the consultation is for. They'll confirm Recovery is still right for you on the day, settle you in, and they carry additional comfort measures that can be used at their discretion where clinically appropriate, at no extra charge.

How long does Recovery take?

It's our slowest infusion by design - plan for around 90 minutes all up, with the infusion itself running about an hour.
