Garba All Night, IV Drips for the Glow? Gujarat’s New Navratri Trend

First Published: 10th October, 2026 9:17 IST IV drips deliver fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Navratri is all about vibrant outfits, dazzling jewellery, and nights filled with energetic garba and dandiya. But this festive season, people in Gujarat are adding an unusual ritual to their pre-celebration checklist — IV drips. Several clinics are seeing growing interest in these treatments, which are marketed to support hydration, replenish nutrients and give people a refreshed feeling. With hours of dancing, daytime fasting and back-to-back celebrations, some festival-goers are looking for ways to keep up with the hectic nine-day schedule. The idea is simple: dance through the night and still feel fresh enough to return to the dance floor the next day. After all, it’s Garba! The cost of these treatments varies depending on the clinic and the formulation. Prices can start at around Rs 5,000 per session, while packages at some clinics range from Rs 4,000 to Rs 15,000. The number of sessions and their frequency depend on individual needs and medical assessment. But how exactly can these drips help during Navratri? IV drips deliver fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream and may help people who are dehydrated or have specific nutritional deficiencies. For those fasting during the day and dancing for hours at night, staying hydrated and maintaining energy levels are important. However, these treatments are not necessary for everyone, and their benefits depend on a person’s health and the ingredients used. There are also some precautions to keep in mind. IV drips should only be taken after consulting a qualified doctor, as unnecessary treatments can lead to side effects such as allergic reactions, infections or an imbalance of salts in the body. People with kidney or heart conditions should be particularly careful. It is equally important to ensure that the procedure is carried out by trained medical professionals. Post Views: 0 COMMENTS
