The Science

What is Ibogaine?

A Sacred Plant With Modern Potential

Ibogaine is a plant medicine from the African iboga root, used to treat trauma with professional therapeutic support.

Why Ibogaine Works

Ibogaine promotes powerful neural reset and trauma processing by stimulating neuroplasticity and disrupting stuck patterns in the brain.

Clinically Studied. Results That Matter.

Clinical studies show significant reductions in PTSD and suicidal ideation when ibogaine is combined with structured therapeutic support:

88% reduction in PTSD symptoms after one month, and sustained at 6 months - Lissemore et al. 2025

"...very large reductions in retrospective reports of suicidal ideation" - Davis et al. 2020
