Ibogaine Therapy for Opioid Addiction
Iboga is the root bark of a bush, Tabernanthe Iboga, which grows in central Africa and the ibogaine alkaloid is the primary psychoactive ingredient derived from this plant.
This substance is a very powerful entheogen, which means “generating the divine within,” and is the chemical substance used in a religious, shamanic, or spiritual contexts. It often induces psychological and physiological changes, sparking intense introspection and interrupting addiction.
It as long been regarded as a rite of passage and spiritual catalyst by the Gabon peoples who follow the African traditions of Bwiti. It has increasingly been used as a detoxification treatment from opiates since the 1980s. Ibogaine is an effective addiction interrupter for most substances including heroin, methadone, methamphetamine, cocaine, oxycontin, ketamine, hydrocodone, amphetamine, fentanyl, alcohol, and nicotine.
