How Ketamine Infusion Therapy Supports Mental Health & Emotional Healing
Millions receive ketamine as a safe intravenous anaesthetic for surgical procedures, especially in challenging spaces. e.g. rural hospitals and conflict zones. Ketamine infusion therapy, starting at a sixth of the anaesthetic dose, is still prescribed and administered under medical supervision.
Who may benefit with ketamine therapy: people with treatment-resistant depression (including suicidal ideas), anxiety (including GAD / PTSD), or addictions / substance abuse. It is not suitable for everyone, and suitability is decided at your consultation with the doctor.

My recovery became the blueprint for AYZA Health, created with my family as a sanctuary for those fighting their own battles"
Zah'ra Moosa (CEO & Co-Founder)
At AYZA Health we have helped hundreds of patients return to themselves. Zah'ra stands as a reminder that healing can be real, even from the darkest of places.

"I am a family physician, with over 30 years of experience in the specialty of family medicine. I have registered competency in both anaesthetics and psychiatry-counselling. When Zah'ra first raised ketamine infusion therapy as an option for mental health challenges. I was alarmed but I did lots more research, after seeing the transformative effects on Zah'ra. I have personally had ketamine infusion therapy and experienced its benefits. I am passionate about its value."

Frequently asked questions
What is ketamine and who may it help?
Ketamine is a scheduled medicine, given only on prescription and under medical supervision. It may be used as part of AYZA Health's medically supervised treatment programme, together with counselling-guided support, for adults whose depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction or burnout has not improved enough with other treatment. Your doctor decides at consultation whether it suits you, and what treatment is right for you.
What happens during a ketamine infusion?
After a clinical review, you rest in a calm, private room while the medicine is given through a small drip. Your blood pressure, pulse and oxygen levels are monitored throughout, and a trained clinician stays available. Afterwards you rest until you are medically fit to go home.
What are the possible side effects of ketamine?
Like any medicine, ketamine therapy can cause temporary effects: raised blood pressure, nausea, dizziness, blurred vision or changes in perception during the infusion. These usually settle soon after. Your doctor explains the risks and benefits before you decide.
Can I drive after ketamine therapy?
No. Do not drive, operate machinery or make important decisions on the day of treatment. Please arrange for a responsible adult to take you home.
How many ketamine infusions will I need?
A full course is usually six infusions over three to six weeks, followed by a plan for ongoing care. Your doctor adjusts this to your response. Individual results vary.
