Our neurohealth approach combines neuromodulation, ketamine and hypnotherapy as well as tailor-made infusion programs in personalized treatment plans of one or two weeks.
Depending on indications, symptoms or results, we tailor our protocols specifically to the patient's physical, psychological and mental needs. Using EEG and neurostress measurements before, during and after therapy, we can monitor therapeutic success.
At Biocannovea, we are creating a space in which sustainable health and holistic well-being can be promoted and maintained on a physical, mental and emotional level.
With special infusion protocols consisting of B vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids, we bring the patient's organism into an optimal supply state beforehand in order to support the neurotransmitter connections and thus supply the nerve cells in the brain.
At the same time, the patient is put into a state of deep relaxation by a trained hypnotherapist using hypnosis, which creates the optimal conditions for starting the ketamine infusion unit.
When deep relaxation is detected, measured by heart rate variability (HRV), we start with the ketamine infusion unit.
In this state, the psychedelic journey of the ketamine session becomes an emotionally liberating experience. The patient is in a trance-like, seemingly floating state. Problems, deadlocked neurostress states and traumas are viewed in a positive light without regard to values.
In these recurring states, which occur in the course of therapy, both conscious and unconscious blockages dissolve or improve significantly in most cases. Even a dysregulated nervous system begins to regenerate rapidly.
In addition, the synapses of the brain and the nervous system are supported by unique forms of therapy such as tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) and the Ducest vagal stimulation system.
Accompanying all therapy units, special relaxation frequencies are played via natural sound transducers in the therapy room.
The entire therapy takes place under medical supervision and in a professional medical setting
Ketamine is an anesthetic that was originally used for anesthesia in surgery. However, in low doses, it also has psychotropic and antidepressant properties. It is increasingly being used in medicine to treat treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. Ketamine works by influencing the neurotransmitter glutamate and thus putting the brain in a state of increased neuroplasticity. This can help create new neural connections and break entrenched thought patterns.
Ketamine works on the brain by blocking the NMDA receptor (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor), which plays a key role in transmitting the neurotransmitter glutamate. Glutamate is important for learning processes, memory formation and brain neuroplasticity, i.e. the ability to form new connections between nerve cells.
By blocking the NMDA receptor, ketamine leads to a rapid release of glutamate, which puts the brain in a state of increased plasticity. As a result, existing connections in the brain are broken and new, healthy patterns can be formed, which can be particularly helpful for people with depression or trauma.
In addition, ketamine has a calming and dissociative effect, meaning that it alters consciousness and can trigger a kind of “trance” or “dream state.” This helps patients look at traumatic or stressful experiences from a more distant perspective without being overwhelmed by negative emotions.
In this way, ketamine can improve both psychological and physical symptoms by enabling the brain to reorganize itself and regulate the nervous system.
Why ketamine shows an antidepressant effect so quickly is not yet fully understood pharmacologically. Ketamine is thought to work by blocking certain receptors in the brain that are important for pain sensations and emotional responses. This blocking is carried out via the NMDA receptor. Ketamine also influences and activates other receptors, such as the GABAA receptor, which helps to reduce pain and calm down.
On the level of consciousness, ketamine leads to an altered perception and opens a “door” for new experiences. This portal can be seen as a metaphor for the fact that ketamine makes it possible to access unconscious thoughts and emotions that are normally difficult for the patient to access.
In therapeutic use, ketamine can act as a “mental door opener” that releases emotional blockages and makes the brain more receptive to positive changes. The patient can thus gain new perspectives.
The ketamine-induced NeuroHealth protocol has proven to be a promising treatment option for people with depression, particularly those who do not respond to conventional treatments. Ketamine works on the brain by blocking the NMDA receptor and thus promoting an increased release of glutamate. This results in a rapid improvement of neuroplasticity, which enables new neural connections and a recovery of brain functions. Compared to conventional antidepressant therapies, the ketamine-induced NeuroHealth protocol offers a quick and effective alternative, particularly for treatment-resistant depression. Since ketamine often provides noticeable relief after just a few sessions, it has established itself as an important addition to existing treatment approaches.
Yes, “keta” is a colloquial short form for ketamine. Both terms refer to the same substance. Ketamine is used medicinally, but “keta” is often used in an informal or colloquial context, particularly in scenes where it is misused as a party drug. While ketamine can be therapeutically valuable in a controlled medical setting, misuse of “keta” can pose serious health and psychological risks.
Neuromodulation refers to the use of various methods — electrical, chemical or mechanical — to specifically improve the function of the nervous system and to alleviate neurological, mental or physical symptoms.
Electrical impulses, so-called action potentials, are converted into chemical signals via the synapses, the connection points between nerve cells, which enables targeted modulation of neuronal communication and thus forms the basis for therapeutic neuromodulation interventions.
These non-invasive and drug-free methods have been confirmed in their effectiveness by numerous studies and represent safe tools in modern medicine.
tDCS (English transcranial direct current stimulation) — Plato work
tDCS stands for transcranial direct current stimulation and is a non-invasive, pain-free and completely reversible neuromodulation technique that is used to modulate neural activity and improve brain function.
A weak current flow is applied to specific regions of the brain. This gently modulates the activity of neurons, stimulates neuroplasticity and thus enables the brain's healing process in a natural way. Direct current flows via the electrodes of a headset (PLATO work) to the scalp, which can influence the electrical activity of the brain. The PLATO Work system enables precise adjustments to individual requirements.
Effectiveness can be divided into two groups:
Optimizing cognitive abilities from healthy individuals
Clinical improvement of symptoms
The vagus nerve (lat. nervus vagus) is the longest nerve in the autonomic nervous system and plays an important role in regulating many bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, respiration, and the immune system. It runs from the brain via the throat and chest to the abdomen and controls the activity of organs such as the heart, the lungs and the gastrointestinal tract. One of its most important functions is to regulate the so-called parasympathetic nervous system, which puts the body into a state of rest and is responsible for recovery and regeneration.
The vagus nerve in conjunction with the ketamine-induced NeuroHealth protocol plays a crucial role in regulating the nervous system and promotes physical and mental relaxation. During therapy, the vagus nerve is specifically activated to calm the nervous system and support the body's ability to regenerate. Ketamine can help modulate the vagus nerve, leading to improved heart rate variability (HRV) — a marker of stress resilience and nervous system balance. A well-functioning vagus nerve contributes to relaxation, stress reduction and overall improvement of well-being.
The protocol promotes this regulation by bringing the nervous system into a state of rest and healing, which is particularly helpful in cases of stress, trauma, or depression. In combination with hypnosis or other relaxation techniques, the effect of the vagus nerve can be optimized in the ketamine-induced NeuroHealth protocol, resulting in comprehensive mental and physical relaxation.
tAVNS (transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation) is a non-invasive method in which the auricular branch of the vagus nerve is stimulated by electrical currents that are applied to specific areas of the outer ear. In contrast to traditional vagus nerve stimulation, which uses surgically implanted devices, TaVNS uses external electrodes that are applied to the ear, making it a low-risk and portable alternative.
This technique is gaining attention because it can modulate the nervous system and improve various conditions such as epilepsy, depression, and even cognitive function. By stimulating the vagus nerve, TaVNS helps regulate autonomic functions and has been shown to be potentially effective in dealing with stress, anxiety, and other neurological issues.
The vagus nerve can be stimulated by various methods to promote relaxation:
Cold water-applications, such as cold showers or facial dips, activate the vagus nerve.
Breathing techniques, particularly deep diaphragmatic breathing, calm the nervous system.
meditation, yoga and singing also promote vagus nerve stimulation.
acupuncture and neck massages can specifically stimulate the nerve.
These simple approaches support the body's natural regeneration and help reduce stress.
DUCEST stands for Dual Channel Electric Stimulation Therapy and uses a special form of electrical stimulation known as Dual Channel Electric Stimulation Therapy (DNS-V). This system allows the vagus nerve and other nerves to be stimulated simultaneously via two separate channels.
LFMS is a non-invasive technique that uses low frequency magnetic fields to affect the nervous system. In contrast to conventional transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses high-frequency pulses, LFMS works with magnetic fields in the low-frequency range. These fields are milder yet effective in modulating neuronal activity. By acting specifically on the brain, LFMS promotes neuronal plasticity, which can improve the functions of the nervous system.
