The natural drug healing trauma
It’s not what your doctor will prescribe

Good morning friends,
There’s a plant-based medicine quietly changing lives—
Treating PTSD, addiction, and even helping with Parkinson’s.
And no, it’s not pharmaceutical.
It’s called ibogaine.
And chances are, you’ve never heard of it.
Let’s explore why.

What is ibogaine?
Ibogaine is derived from the iboga shrub in Central Africa.
It’s a form of plant medicine, similar in class to ayahuasca or psilocybin—but with a very different mechanism.
This is not recreational. It’s deeply therapeutic.
Here’s what makes it so powerful:
Addiction reset
Ibogaine breaks the reward cycle in the brain—helping people overcome drug and alcohol dependency in just 1–2 sessions.PTSD and trauma relief
It calms overactive brain pathways, reducing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression by over 80% in some studies.Neuroplasticity boost
Ibogaine helps rewire neural circuits, allowing new, healthier patterns to take root—especially useful for those stuck in emotional or behavioural loops.
What does the science say?
A 2024 Stanford study on veterans treated with ibogaine found:
• 88% drop in PTSD symptoms
• Over 80% improvement in depression and anxiety
• Rapid and sustained results—even when conventional treatments had failed
Why haven’t you heard about it?
Simple: it’s not profitable.
Unlike drugs that require daily use, ibogaine works in just a few sessions.
It threatens the existing model of long-term pharmaceutical dependency.
So research is underfunded, access is limited, and regulation is tight.
But that doesn’t change the truth:
Ibogaine may be one of the most promising tools we have for healing trauma at the root.
