Ketamine Breath-work Group Sessions
Ketamine Breath-work Group Sessions
Breathwork is a practice of intentionally controlling and regulating breathing patterns to promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall well-being. Some people have combined breathwork techniques with ketamine therapy as a way to enhance the experience.
However, combining ketamine with breathwork can be risky and should only be done under the supervision of a medical professional. Ketamine can cause dissociative effects and altered states of consciousness, which can be intensified when combined with breathwork. This can lead to potentially dangerous situations if not done under the supervision of a trained practitioner.
Furthermore, the use of ketamine for mental health conditions is still being studied, and it is not yet an approved treatment by the FDA. However, there are many psychiatric medications that are used in an off-label status, meaning not the application it was originally approved for by the FDA. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider and understand the potential risks and benefits before considering any combination of ketamine and breathwork.
Breathwork is often given to groups of people and are led by the therapist to induce a feeling of well-being and openness to facilitate group therapy, group cohesiveness, trouble shooting and problem solving. The ketamine in this scenario is often oral, called a troche.
