Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive alkaloid derived from an African plant that has been traditionally used for spiritual exploration and healing. It has shown promise in helping treat opiate addiction by blocking addiction receptors to reduce withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings, potentially returning the body and mind to a pre-addictive state. Research suggests ibogaine may stimulate neuronal growth to counteract damage from drug abuse. While preliminary, results so far indicate ibogaine offers hope as an anti-addictive treatment.
