About the drip
What the Calm Drip is
A magnesium-led infusion. Magnesium is a mineral involved in several hundred enzyme reactions, including those in muscle and nerve function, and intravenous magnesium sulphate is a licensed medicine used in hospitals for specific conditions. In this drip it is combined with a vitamin B complex in an isotonic saline base and given slowly.
We do not claim this drip reduces stress or anxiety. If you are struggling with either, your GP is the right first call, and our pharmacists can talk to you about options. What we can describe is a quiet hour in a private room with a slow magnesium infusion, which many clients tell us they find restful.

Is it for you?
Who books it
People with tight or cramping muscles after training, people who sleep badly and want a slow session rather than a stimulating one, and people who have had magnesium in the Myers Cocktail and want it as the main ingredient. Magnesium commonly causes warmth or flushing during the infusion; this is expected and the clinician controls the rate.

Before you book
Safety and suitability
Every IV infusion at FastHeal Clinic Woking starts with a consultation and health screening. A prescriber reviews your medical history, current medicines and any allergies before anything is prepared. Some people should not have an IV nutrient infusion, including anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, anyone with kidney disease, heart failure, or certain metabolic conditions, and anyone under 18. If we are not confident an infusion is appropriate for you, we will say so and suggest an alternative.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Will it help me sleep?
We cannot claim that. Some clients book this in the late afternoon and report a quiet evening. That is anecdote, not evidence, and we present it as such.
Why does my arm feel warm?
Magnesium causes vasodilation as it goes in. The feeling usually passes within a minute or two of the drip finishing. If it is uncomfortable, say so and we will slow the rate.
Could I just take magnesium tablets?
Yes, and for most people that is the sensible option. Oral magnesium is inexpensive and widely available. The drip exists for people who want the mineral given intravenously under supervision.
