Oral Hydration Therapy

Oral Hydration Therapy involves drinking fluids to replenish lost electrolytes and fluids, typically due to dehydration from illness, diarrhea, or heat exposure. It uses specially formulated solutions—like oral rehydration salts or sports drinks—that contain a balanced mix of salts, sugars, and minerals. These help the body absorb water more effectively and restore the electrolyte balance, preventing complications like weakness or severe dehydration. The therapy is simple, safe, and effective for maintaining hydration and supporting recovery when fluids are lost quickly or in large amounts.
