Ibogaine is a natural psychoactive substance derived from the roots of the Tabernanthe iboga plant, which is native to west Africa. Ibogaine has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Indigenous communities used Ibogaine for healing, rights of passage and to engage in spiritual communication with ancestors. However Ibogaine has gained popularity in Western medicine for it’s potential as a breakthrough treatment for various mental health disorders including: addiction, anxiety, depression and PTSD (to name a few). Studies are still emerging and more research is needed to properly analyze the therapeutic effects of Ibogaine.

What is Psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a natural psychoactive compound in certain species of mushrooms, commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms” or “psychedelic mushrooms.” Over 100 species of mushrooms are known to contain psilocybin or its derivative psilocin, with the most well-known species including: Psilocybe cubensis, Psilocybe semilanceata, and Psilocybe azurescens. Recent studies have shown potential therapeutic effects to micro dosing with psilocybin, though more research is needed.
