Ketamine works by directly interacting with the brain’s NMDA receptors, modulating glutamate levels and promoting neuroplasticity. When administered via intravenous (IV) infusion, ketamine bypasses the digestive system, allowing for rapid absorption and immediate therapeutic effects. This method ensures high bioavailability, leading to potential benefits such as relief from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Ketamine also has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, which may help regulate mood and reduce oxidative stress. By enhancing synaptic connections and promoting the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, ketamine infusion therapy can offer rapid and lasting improvements in mental health conditions.
