Welcome, fellow seekers of knowledge! As a naturopathic practitioner with a deep understanding of the powerful plant medicine iboga, I’m excited to guide you through the fascinating world of ibogaine terminologies.
Iboga, with its rich history and potent effects, has its own unique language. Understanding these terms is essential for anyone interested in exploring this medicine, whether you’re a curious individual, a potential participant in an iboga retreat, or a healthcare professional.
In this article, we’ll dive into the essential iboga vocabulary, unraveling the meanings behind terms like “ibogaine,” “TA,” “root bark,” “ceremony,” and many more. By the end, you’ll have a solid foundation for navigating the world of iboga with confidence and clarity.
So, let’s embark on this journey together and unlock the secrets of iboga’s language!
Ibogaine Healing
Ibogaine has been proven to help people with substance abuse disorder treat the symptoms of their disease, and substantially aid in their recovery.
This impressive natural remedy helps ease withdrawal symptoms and minimize cravings for various addictive substances while restoring receptors in the brain to pre-addiction levels.
Microdosing Iboga / Iboga TA / Iboga HCL
Microdosing entails using small doses daily and allowing the Iboga to build up in your system.
In addition to offering many of the advantages of iboga without the intensity of a journey, micro-dosing is a great way to get ready for a trip.

How to microdose
- It is essential when using iboga to not combine with other substances especially non-pharmaceutical medications, alcohol, or opiates. A little tobacco or coffee is okay but your results will be much better on a clean body system.
- The amount of Iboga does build up in the system so the effects will become stronger and more noticeable as the microdosing continues. If necessary, it is possible to move to dose every second day.
- Keeping a diary recording the effects of the iboga and what one notices is very effective and enhances the work with iboga.
- Combining with any form of discipline, awareness, or spiritual practice is very effective.
Flooding
For flooding, I would recommend using Iboga TA (total alkaloid extract).
It has all the benefits of the ‘whole plant’ experience of the root bark, containing the full spectrum of alkaloids,
but it is much easier to dose and easier and smoother on the body. It is also much cheaper than Purchasing pure Ibogaine HCl online.
Total alkaloid produces much less dizziness than root bark, making it easier to move around on it.
It is easier to go deeper on it than the iboga root bark, requiring much less material to be consumed.
Other alkaloids work with the ibogaine to prolong, deepen, and augment its influence and are a welcome addition.
Did you know?
Pure ibogaine HCL seems to wash through the system more quickly, producing less of an afterglow than with Iboga TA or iboga root bark.
It is recommended to save a few grams of iboga root bark to ingest alongside the iboga TA, to give an essence of the whole unadulterated plant.
Some people like to stagger dosing and take some every 30 minutes until the whole dose is consumed.
I have found that taking one capsule of TA and then splitting the rest of the dose into halves, and taking 45 minutes apart works well.
For people treating addiction, it can be worth keeping a little Iboga TA extract or root bark for use as booster doses in the month post-session to prolong the window of Iboga’s influence.
Iboga Sound
Iboga sound is basically Bwiti harp music played throughout the iboga journey, some of the songs are found on YouTube, like Bokaye: Essama Ene Evora, Ngombi a mboka, Moungongo de Mwanga
Iboga TA (Total Alkaloid Extract)
A total alkaloid extract from iboga. Contains all the alkaloids in the root bark, but in a concentrated form that allows for easier dosing.
My initiation experience, which is described on these boards, was with the equivalent of 22-24 g of root bark.
This was an incredibly deep and amazing experience; I would rate it as the most important single psychedelic/teacher plant experience of my life.
Very deep visions and a full-on brain defragment, with an afterglow of months.
Ibogaine HCL
Apocynaceae is a naturally occurring psychoactive substance found in plants in the family Apocynaceae such as Tabernanthe iboga, Voacanga Africana, and Tabernaemontana undulata.
It is psychedelic with dissociative properties. Ibogaine HCl for sale is made up of 99.7 percent ibogaine, the most abundant compound in the iboga rootbarks.
Ibogaine Treatment Center
These are ibogaine-assisted detox centers. There are two types of Ibogaine treatment.
It is psychedelic with dissociative properties. Ibogaine HCl for sale is made up of 99.7 percent ibogaine, the most abundant compound in the iboga rootbarks.
The first is focused on beating drug addiction, most commonly heroin dependence, through drug detoxification and an alleviating craving for drugs.
The second type of treatment is used for facilitating psychotherapy sessions, which usually need sub-clinical doses of Ibogaine.
Numerous studies and scientific research on Ibogaine convincingly show that Ibogaine has the ability to relieve withdrawal
symptoms significantly in almost all cases of drug addiction and what is even more surprising is that this effect is very appreciable in cases of hardcore heroin addiction.
The anti-addictive and anti-withdrawal properties of Ibogaine can be explained by the effects of its transitional metabolite called Noribogaine.
Noribogaine increases the level of dopamine and serotonin in the body, which gives the patient a feeling of well-being and blocks brain receptors responsible for drug cravings.
Ibogaine is not a substitute for drugs and is not addictive. Ibogaine disrupts drug addiction chemically
Ibogaine Trip
Once you take the iboga, it should take up to an hour, sometimes even longer, for the effects to come on.
The first changes you’re likely to feel will be dizziness, a decline in muscle coordination, and increasing difficulty in moving.
Nausea may come next, and purging often follows. Expect your heart rate to rise, your mind to race, and your brain to begin comprehending that something strange is taking over.
Soon, it will become apparent that there will be no turning back for a long time.
The quality and intensity of your hallucinations (with eyes open and closed) will depend on how much iboga/ibogaine you consume.
Unlike entheogens such as ayahuasca and pilocybin mushrooms, which are known to show completely different realities,
iboga/ibogaine visuals are mostly an expression of your subconscious and resemble a lucid dream more than hyperdimensional alternate universes.
Open-eyed hallucinations usually come on early and last throughout the journey.
They can distort the space around you, ingrain shape-shifting patterns and faces on the walls, morph objects and breathe motion into them,
create floating shapes that fill the space, manifest apparitions of seemingly real or imaginary beings, or come in any of the myriad variations that your mind can invent.
Iboga Rite
As is the custom in most regions of the world, young children are pushed through powerful Rites of Passage, or spiritual pathways leading them into the power of their own person.
These initiations provide a foundation for strength, a basis from which to embark on the path to adulthood.
For the Bwiti people—the individuals of Central West Africa who have been using Iboga in ceremonies for thousands of years—the Rites of Passage serves as a passageway into this personal strength and empowerment.
The purpose of the Rites of Passage is to break a person down. On every level: spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally. This crumbling of fear is, in itself, the path to freedom.
