Sunil Kumar Aggarwal

Dr. Aggarwal is now offering a TRANSFORMATIVE, MIND-BODY MEDICINE THERAPY: Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy and Therapy Ketamine is an extremely interesting compound invented in 1962 at Parke-Davis. It has been used in clinical practice around the world for over 50 years and is on the WHO list of Essential Medicines. Its primary use has been as a general anesthetic, but also it has been used to induce procedural conscious sediation, as a potent non-opioid analgesic in acute and chronic pain, as a neuroprotective agent to prevent brain damage, as an anxiolytic to control pre-operative and end-of-life anxiety, and as a rapid-onset antidepressant to treat chronic depression and other treatment-resistant mental health conditions. Like many psychedelic substances, it can be used to enhance psychotherapy sessions, to help to facilitate therapeutic trances and persistant transformations to overcome chronic pain, depression, anxiety, existential anxiety, eating disorders, post-traumatic and complex trauma disorders, and for spiritual and psychological growth and deepening somatic awareness (The Ketamine Papers: Science, Therapy, and Transformation, eds. Wolfson & Hartelius, 2016). Dr. Aggarwal has completed 46 hours of accredited training in Ketamine: Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (Ketamine Training Center, 30 hours) and KRIYA Ketamine Research Institute (16 hours). Our terms “therapy” and “clinic” and our symbol of medicine with a snake wrapping around a staff all originate from the activities of the Aesclepian healing temples in Ancient Greece. They practiced healing through trance induction. We are offering this treatment through prescription of compounded lozenges and via intramuscular injection. We create a comfortable and soothing environment via relaxing music, eyeshades, aromatherapy, and soft lighting. We also give lozenges for patients to take home for further sessions.
