What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is basically an anesthesia drug which when given in low doses can be very helpful in treating certain mental conditions. It has been used as a pre-sedative for surgery for many years. It generally creates an overall feeling of well-being. When Ketamine is administered in small doses it does not render you unconscious but helps to make you feel relaxed.
It, unfortunately, has achieved notoriety as a street drug and when used indiscriminately, can have serious side effects. However, when used correctly by trained medical staff for treatment resistant depression it can be an incredibly therapeutic substance. Its ability to disassociate a patient’s mind from his or her body enables it to be an ideal treatment for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), clinical depression, anxiety, or chronic fatigue. Ketamine treatments have also been found to be a positive addition to sex therapy.
IV Ketamine Therapy: The Study Behind Ketamine
Ketamine is technically a psychedelic drug but when used properly, in low dosage, it has a long-lasting effect, providing a very comfortable experience. Studies show it enhances neural growth and can be very beneficial in the treatment of suicidal tendencies. Experience has shown a 95% positive reaction to low-dose Ketamine treatment. The advantage is that this wellness therapy works quickly and is long-lasting. Dosage of one per week over a 4-5 week period has proven most helpful to patients.

What Does Ketamine Infusion Do?
Use of some anti-depressant medications, like valium, only generates the anti-anxiety effect when it is in your system. When it leaves your system, you can get rebound anxiety. Ketamine treatment works differently. It triggers reactions in your cortex that enable brain connections to regrow.
It’s the reaction to Ketamine, not the presence of ketamine in the body that generates its effects. This is what distinguishes Ketamine from other anti-anxiety drugs and makes it so beneficial to patients suffering from treatable mental disorders.
