What is Iboga?
Iboga is 100% natural root bark.
Iboga is a tree from equatorial West Africa It is known as the "godfather of all plant medicines" and is the only one that can be used for physical healing, spiritual healing, and spiritual discovery. Iboga has both a masculine and feminine spirit and can be flexible and adaptable to the healing experience each person needs.
The term "Iboga" refers to the second layer of root bark found on the Tabernanthe Iboga shrub. The second layer of the root bark is used because it contains the highest concentration of active alkaloids. Alkaloids are present throughout the plant, but in much lower concentrations.
The traditional preparation of the plant medicine by the Bwiti is a long process involving beautiful singing and rituals. The process involves removing and discarding the first layer of root bark and then removing and separating the second layer of root bark.
The experience of Iboga
A Journey Unlike Any Other
Iboga is a deeply grounding plant medicine that uses truth to heal. Its goal is to return you to your original, true self and reconnect you to your soul. It does this by first clearing (detoxifying) everything that doesn't belong physically and mentally. This is often experienced as random thoughts, images, and the like floating by as it cleans everything out, much like defragmenting a computer.
Iboga will also show you how your mind works, revealing thought patterns that you may have picked up throughout your life that are not real or healthy. After iboga restores peace to the mind, it reveals the origins of your suffering and continues to teach you by showing you the truth. In short, it helps you release patterns, memories, and traumas so that you can be free of them - so that you can be your true self.
Rather than serving as an escape, iboga draws you inward, encouraging introspection and self-reflection. Iboga's grounding nature roots you firmly in the present moment, fostering a deep sense of self-awareness and connection to your surroundings.
After the ceremony, iboga continues to help you by improving mindfulness and promoting neuroplasticity so you can easily create a new, healthier life. However, the experience is different for each person every time. Therefore, a person who does it multiple times will have a different experience each time. Likewise, two people in the same ceremony will have very different experiences. This is because Iboga is a highly intelligent spirit that gives each person their own perfect healing experience, tailored to their specific needs.
