Common Questions About Ibogaine Treatment
What patients ask us most
We know you have questions. Here are honest answers.
What is ibogaine?
Ibogaine is a psychoactive substance derived from an African plant called Tabernanthe iboga. In the past, the local tribespeople used its roots for communicating with the spirits. Today, the plant has reached North America, where it is used for its healing properties.
So, what is ibogaine treatment? Many clinics have started using the substance with high efficiency for addiction recovery and different mental conditions. Ibogaine reduces cravings and helps address the underlying issues that led to drug abuse.
How does ibogaine work?
Ibogaine is a psychoactive substance that stimulates serotonergic and dopaminergic systems, boosting the level of hormones in a person’s body. Basically, it balances our natural processes, helping us stave off drug cravings.
