Iboga is a medicinal and a psychedelic rainforest shrub native to Central Western Africa. It was first discovered when animals such as boar, porcupines and gorillas were found consuming the roots. Iboga was then used in Bwiti ceremony which is a spiritual tradition that was started by the people of Gabon early in the 20th century. The root bark of the plant is ground into a fine powder which is added to a good amount of distilled white vinegar for a few days. It is said that people visit the spirit world and commune with ancestors while seeking guidance. It has the capacity to cleanse the mind and body profoundly. The extract helps in healing drug addicts, mainly opiates (heroin, morphine etc..), sometimes over a period of a few hours.
