Ahmedabad Residents Pay Up to Rs 15,000 for Navratri IV Drips
Some people in Ahmedabad are trying vitamin drips before Navratri.
The drips put nutrients into a person’s blood through a tube.
People hope they will feel energetic and look fresh while dancing garba late at night.
The treatments can cost thousands of rupees, and festive packages can cost up to Rs 15,000.
Young adults and older working professionals are both interested.
Some users say they see the treatment as a one-time or seasonal choice.

Without proper screening and supervision, the drips may cause problems such as allergic reactions or too much fluid in the body.
The articles also note that evidence for energy or skin benefits in healthy people is limited.

Users include young adults and working professionals in their 30s and 40s seeking help with festival fatigue and late-night garba.
Riya Shah, 24, and Amit Patel, 38, describe using a drip as a one-time or seasonal treatment rather than a regular routine.
