· There is a preference to use mint/spearmint/peppermint for its menthol (diaphoretic properties) and aromatic volatile oils.

THE CALL BACK
· Florida water: Used for aromatherapy and spiritual call back. This administered by soaking a makeup sponge or like for the patient to hold under the nose and inhale. Alternatively, the Florida water can alternatively be placed into the facilitators hands and then wafting in the patient’s direction by waving hands approximately seven inches of the patients face. Enliven mist in production phases will be a spray version of Florida water used as a mist vs. placing in facilitators hand. It is a cologne that’s recipe has not changed since the 1800’s and extensively used by several spiritual observations.
· Citrus (Lemon) and Sodium (Salt): Like the first battery made with brine this combination carries an exceptionally light current and bitter/sour taste that pulls the patient back into their body. Often used in times of distress this is great to have on hand for new patients who mentions uncontrolled sensationalism. * Variety of citrus has proven effective including oranges and limes.
· Breath Work (Cobra Breathing): Have the patient begin by placing each index finger on the temples on each side of the head, followed by the pinky finger compressing the bridge of the nose. The remaining three fingers will rest above the brow as you place slight pressure on the temples, bridge, and brow. Inhale by taking eleven short breaths without exhaling. Control should be used for each inhale and the patient should build up a tolerance for filling their lungs over time. For beginners inhale eleven times, hold your breath for 30 seconds and finishes with two deep exhales without taking a breath in between. Repeat three times or until the patent has a sensation of “being back in their body.” *Goal of breath work in increments of 11, 22, 33, 44 is achievable.
· Coffee: This tool is optional, some patients do not drink coffee for a myriad of reasons including health, increased heart rate/blood pressure during treatment, or other reasons. For those patients that do ingest, the increased heart rate, metabolism and diuretic effect will help eliminate the ketamine through the digestive track and urinated out at a much faster rate.
