Root Healing

Root Healing is an Iboga Retreat & Detox Center that follows the traditional Missoko Bwiti way of holding ceremonies. Our guests are supported by Bwiti experts, plus a medical and hospitality team to ensure a safe and comfortable healing experience.

The Bwiti have worked with Iboga the plant for thousands of years as their sacrament. Therefore, they know how to gain the most benefits from this powerful plant medicine.

It’s correctly said that you cannot have Iboga without Bwiti or Bwiti without Iboga. The Bwiti have developed and passed down wisdom regarding the use of Iboga since the beginning of people’s relationship with “the medicine.”

At Root Healing we are dedicated to helping you heal, let go of the past, and discover the truth of who you are and what you want. Our hope is that Iboga can end your healing journey so that you can focus on enjoying the gift of life and being fully present in it.
