Iboga

Iboga is a natural substance derived from the root bark of the iboga plant, native to Central Africa. Traditionally used in spiritual ceremonies by indigenous groups, it contains powerful alkaloids, notably ibogaine, that influence the brain’s chemistry. Iboga can induce intense, introspective experiences and is studied for its potential to help with addiction treatment by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. However, it also carries significant risks, including serious health effects and potential toxicity, and should only be used under professional supervision within controlled settings. Its legal status varies internationally.
