About Ibogaine


JAMA-TabIbogaIbogaine is a natural herbal product that is extracted from the root of an African shrub called Tabernanthe Iboga.

Iboga has a centuries-long history of medicinal and ceremonial use in West Africa by a culture known as Bwiti. It is greatly valued for both its medicinal qualities and its therapeutic psychoactive effects that have been found useful for psychospiritual healing purposes.

Ibogaine has a very unique property in that it is also useful in detoxification from chemical dependence to substances such as opiates, cocaine/crack and alcohol. It has been observed that ibogaine can significantly reduce the withdrawal symptoms that occur as a result of discontinuing a physically addictive substance. This action is remarkable in that its ability to significantly interrupt withdrawal happens rapidly, effectively and with only a single dose.

It also has persistent anti-craving and anti-depressant effects that can last for up to 3 months after therapy that may further contribute positively to a healthy recovery plan and lifestyle.

While these effects need to be examined more closely, we find it highly promising for its use as a natural health product when used in a safe and therapeutically oriented framework.
