What are the benefits of ketamine?
Studies have shown that ketamine can benefit the mind and mood in many powerful ways, including:
It can help your brain be more flexible and able to change and adapt, a process called neuroplasticity.
It can rebuild parts of your brain that are damaged by chronic depression and anxiety through a molecule called Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor
It can allow for new connections to develop in your brain. This can help rewire your brain while you are processing trauma.
It can suppress negative feedback loops that can drive anxiety, depression, OCD and substance use disorders.
Ketamine has also been shown to treat chronic pain and suicidal thoughts
It can suppress your fight or flight fear center of the brain (limbic system/amygdala), allowing you to access and process trauma in a safe way without fear.
It allows for enhanced processing of memories about yourself, allowing you to gain new insights about yourself.
It can provide a sense of unity and connection to others and to nature.
It creates an alteration in the perception of time, giving you an experience of transcendence and peace.
It can enhance creativity, reducing thought rigidity, allowing your brain to relax and experience a connection between brain connections that normally do not connect. This can allow you to see things in a completely new way.
It can cause a mystical experience, allowing for an experience of pure awareness, unity, transcendence and peace.
It can alleviate the fear around death and dying.
It is a mood booster, increasing life satisfaction and overall well-being.
It can be a catalyst for positive behavioral change, helping with substance use disorders, overeating, addiction and more.
