About Iboga

What is Iboga?

Iboga, the “Godfather of all plant medicines,” is a sacrament used by the Bwiti for profound physical and spiritual healing, and spiritual discovery.

The most recognized alkaloid within the root of the Iboga plant (Tabernanthe iboga) is ibogaine. Ibogaine gained notoriety for its remarkable anti-addictive properties, especially for opiate addiction, and is now used globally and is very well-known.

Beyond ibogaine, Iboga contains numerous other alkaloids, some with even more beneficial effects. These alkaloids work harmoniously to facilitate the potent spiritual, mental, and physical healing that the Bwiti have long revered. Most important though, is the spirit of Iboga, which has an ancient wisdom that roots down deep into the earth – the foundation of nature itself.

Iboga, Ibogaine, Tradition, and Science

There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained about Iboga and Ibogaine, and fortunately, research is expanding. This includes studies from both the Western medical and research science perspectives, as well as insights from indigenous and shamanic traditions. Bwiti, known as 'The Study of Life,' is a much more ancient tradition that is wed to Iboga and has its own unique approach to understanding. At Root Healing, we integrate all these perspectives.
