Iboga Wellness Center Opens in Costa Rica to Offer Spiritual Retreats and Detoxification
Iboga is a psychoactive plant root that contains Ibogaine and other alkaloids, which is used by traditional tribes such as the Bwiti in equatorial Africa, who occupy ancestral territory thought to be home to the first humans. In a controversial talk, Graham Hancock made a series of assertions that saw discussion rage on the TED forums about the use of shamanistic medicine like Iboga to create transcendental spiritual experiences. In doing so, these can create beneficial effects for physical and behavioral conditions such as addiction and depression. Now, the Iboga Wellness Center has opened in Costa Rica to offer these treatments.
