The many therapeutic uses of Ibogaine...
The Iboga root is used in West African folk medicine as a stimulant, tonic, and aphrodisiac. It is also used in cases of nervous weakness, and to treat fever and hypertension. In the Congo, Iboga is used to treat the tropical sleeping disease. In equatorial Africa it has been recommended in the treatment of neurasthenia and syphilis.
In the West, Ibogaine is predominantly used as a treatment for addictions, depression and anxiety, although it is showing promise in many unrelated areas including migraine, Alzheimer’s, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and acne. |
Ibogaine for migraines...
Ibogaine can be used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Ibogaine treatment targets the central nervous system, and could help to treat migraine pain in ways that opiate drugs cannot. Ibogaine does not cause neurotoxic effects such as those brought on by other NMDA antagonist type drugs.
Ibogaine has effects on multiple different systems of neurotransmitters that may offer relief for the pain and can be used in conjunction with other migraine medications.
Years of Ibogaine research have been enough to convince some psychiatry and neurology professionals that the therapy should be given a chance to help more people with migraines, and hopefully we will see more research on this in the next few years.

Ibogaine for Alzheimer's...
Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia involving a disorder of the limbic and association cortices. Most patients suffering from this disease have less than 14 years to live. The cause of Alzheimer’s is unknown, but it is strongly believed that plaques and tangles accumulate in the brain and are a major factor in the development of the disease. Furthermore, free radicals are formed and start killing brain cells.
Treatment of Alzheimer’s has been until now based only on alleviating the symptoms, and not on curing the disease itself. Because of the potential of antioxidants to reduce the damage caused by free radicals the benefits of these substances has been studied in the treatment of Alzheimer’s with varying results. Ibogaine itself is not an antioxidant, but apart from having an effect on multiple receptors in the brain it has also shown the ability to boost the body’s own antioxidant system.
Ibogaine has also shown positive effects in regeneration of neurons in the brain and an increase in cognitive abilities post-treatment.

Ibogaine for bipolar disorder...
Bipolar disorder is one of many mental health issues that have responded to treatment with Ibogaine.
Ibogaine works to at least partially relieve patients’ symptoms, and offers a very powerful insight, which helps patients to understand their issues and the energy and clarity to work through them.
Medications currently prescribed for bipolar disorder do not show the same potential for success as Ibogaine treatment because of the many ways in which Ibogaine addresses the problem. Before undergoing the Ibogaine treatment you must be weaned from bipolar medications, so please let us know what medications you are currently taking.
The drugs currently used for bipolar disorder may not address the underlying condition, but deal only with the symptoms. Some people with bipolar disorder may need continued medication, in which case Ibogaine is only used with caution.
Ibogaine for bipolar disorder may not always be about curing the condition completely. Ibogaine may simply offer you a deeper understanding of the condition.

Ibogaine for acne...
Candida infections are quite common as fungal infections in the human body. They may live in your mucosal membranes like the sinuses, nasal passages, vaginal walls and digestive tracts. Invasive Candidiasis can also affect organs. Your body normally has Candida present, but overgrowth causes problems like acne.
Ibogaine treatment helps in healing fungal activity. Researchers have had success in using Ibogaine to detox patients with Candida infections. Studies have shown that Ibogaine can suppress many symptoms of Candida, specifically cutaneous Candida albicans. The same studies have demonstrated Ibogaine’s ability to accelerate yeast cell elimination.
In another study, Ibogaine was given to mice, which had Candida that had spread to other body parts in different fungal forms. Ibogaine interfered with early infection stages and significantly decreased the mortality rate. It also decreased the volume of the Candida albicans found in the spleen, kidney and liver.
Additional studies with human patients are still needed to determine the effectiveness of Ibogaine for acne.
Ibogaine will also detox heavy metals like mercury and kill bacterial and viral infections like herpes, often in just one treatment. Flushing the body with Ibogaine gives your body a natural source of treatment for rapid and deep detox. People with acne and other diseases associated with Candida such as chronic fatigue and depression have a greater opportunity for healing by combining Ibogaine treatment with a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Ibogaine for eating disorders...
Ibogaine is increasingly being used to treat eating disorders that have not responded to traditional therapies.
Ibogaine offers an introspective journey that often gets to the heart of eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia, and overeating. Ibogaine helps you to see your body as a temple to be loved and cared for. You will gain a newfound sense of control and respect for your body through the experience. In combination with proper health screening and nutritional and dietary counseling, Ibogaine could be the future of treatment for eating disorders.
Treatment for eating disorders with Ibogaine is currently at the beginning stages, but while study data about recovery rates from these mental disorders is scarce, our experience and anecdotal evidence indicates that Ibogaine is and will be effective in many if not most of the patients with whom it is administered.

More promising research...
Ibogaine therapy is showing promising results in the treatment of other conditions, including Hepatitis C, Parkinson’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, and Cerebral Palsy.
