What is Iboga?

Iboga is a strong natural substance from a plant in Central Africa. Tribes like the Bwiti have used it for spiritual rituals and healing for a long time. It can give vivid visions and make you reflect deeply.

People have found that Iboga might help with drug addiction, especially opioids like heroin. It could change the way the brain works and make withdrawal symptoms easier. Some use it to change habits in general. One part of Iboga, called Ibogaine, can help reset the brain’s pathways, making it easier to do healthier things.
