While Ibogaine is best known for its ability to help people overcome addiction to drugs and alcohol, it is also incredibly beneficial for people suffering from mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, burnout and chronic fatigue.
Many people don’t seek help for conditions like depression or anxiety because they feel it’s a personal weakness or not a “real” condition. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are real conditions that can overwhelm your coping ability and enjoyment of life, and they are all very treatable. |
The mainstream treatment for depression and mental health tends to be a regiment of medications, with some less-than-ideal side effects and an inability to address the causes of the problem. Because of this, many people who suffer from these conditions are looking for alternative methods to treat the problem. Ibogaine offers one such alternative.
Ibogaine therapy can help you to recover, and can give you a profound inner change, mental clarity and revived energy levels.
Ibogaine can help you to release sorrow and anger, and to attain insight and self-forgiveness. Through personal insight on your Ibogaine journey you will relearn the best ways to relax, to let go of yourself, and to give your body and mind the proper attention they need. The inner journey allows you to understand the root causes of your depression, anxiety or burnout. Ibogaine then gives you an opportunity to address these causes with a clear mind and hopeful vision, which eventually leads to the way out of the emotional turmoil.
Ibogaine is effective even for many depressions considered to be “treatment resistant”.
Ibogaine works on two levels, the psychological and the physical:

Psychological effects of Ibogaine...
Ibogaine therapy’s success in treating depression, anxiety and burnout may be based on several factors. Firstly, its psychological effects help you to view difficult experiences in an objective way, and to help facilitate the closure of unresolved emotional conflicts.
Ibogaine helps you to shift your perspective on the way you see the world and the circumstances that have made up your life. Ibogaine is a powerful hallucinogen, taking you on a deeply introspective journey in which suppressed memories and traumas are often revealed in a way in which you can review them objectively (as if seeing these experiences in a dream or reviewing somebody else’s life).
Depression is often a cause of deep emotional issues that, if not brought to light and worked through, can lead to much deeper, chronic depression. Ibogaine helps you to look at these challenging experiences in a different way.
Ibogaine helps you to accept your past and forgive people or circumstances that you believe have caused you pain. One session of Ibogaine has been likened to years of therapy and does an amazing job at helping you to reset your life and move forward in a new direction.
Ibogaine slows down the over-analysing, self-critical part of the brain, normalizes the brain function, and helps you to find more stability in your thought process.

Physical effects of Ibogaine...
Ibogaine goes into the chemical centers of the brain and helps to reset them back to normal levels. These chemical centers can be the cause of various mental health disorders. In fact, most prescription depression medications target the same areas of the brain. However, medications don’t reset the brain the way Ibogaine does and so require ongoing use in order to be effective.
Ibogaine modulates the uptake of various neurotransmitter systems in your brain, restoring a level of balance, and is neuroprotective of dopamine receptors, which play a critical role in the management of depression.
Ibogaine treatment revamps your brains ability to produce beta-endorphin, the neurotransmitter released when you engage in physical activity, that decreases the experience of pain and stress and increases your mood and sense of self-esteem.
Ibogaine increases levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, or GDNF, which promotes the survival and replenishment of many types of neurons. A single dose of Ibogaine can increase GDNF expression for weeks. Ibogaine is also highly lipophilic and remains in body fat for months, gradually being released, further extending its influence on GDNF expression.
Because ibogaine is known to increase the level of serotonin in your brain it can be dangerous to administer ibogaine in conjunction with SSRI or MAOI-based medications that are commonly prescribed to treat depression. If you are on anti-dperessants, please let us know so that we can help you to wean off these before your treatment.
It is also essential that you let us know if you have any of the following problems, as there is not enough known about Ibogaine’s interaction with these and they may be considered exclusion criteria for having the Ibogaine treatment: cerebellar dysfunction, epilepsy, psychosis, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, organic brain disease and dementia.

The psychological effects of Ibogaine combined with the neurological changes that it offers have shown definite potential in helping people with depression, anxiety, burnout, chronic fatigue and phobias. If you are currently suffering with any of these conditions, please get in touch with us. We know that it can be overwhelming to embark on an unknown journey and we are happy to chat to you about the treatment before you decide to do it.
Ongoing therapy...
Ibogaine is not a “magic bullet” - it is not as simple as ingesting a pill and all symptoms are gone. What Ibogaine provides is more like an intense insight into your problems and a window of opportunity to make changes and shift things in your life. It definitely takes work and you need to be committed to trusting the process and listening to yourself and taking action on what comes up in your journey. Every single person is unique, and no two Ibogaine experiences are the same. Some people have life reviews and identify negative thought and behavioral patterns, where those patterns started and why. Some people have a slower “de-programming” process, or a subtler shifting of priorities and thought patterns.
The use of Ibogaine helps you to explore and openly talk about previously undisclosed and repressed personal problems. This effect lasts for at least a week post-treatment, with many people reporting an ongoing ability to objectively assess and discuss deeply rooted issues. For this reason we highly recommend that you make use of your life-coaching sessions after your treatment and consider some longer-term therapy as well.
