The Root Healing team is made up of experts whose lives were radically changed by Iboga. When Root Healing was created over five years ago, we established a mission that remains central to our work today: to create the safest and most supportive container that intentionally connects the right people with this powerful medicine - and consequently, themselves. We honor the traditional Bwiti framework as our primary foundation, while also being informed by medical science, our own lived human experience, hospitality, and more to provide the most effective support in empowering you along this path. Over the years, working with thousands of people through their processes with these medicines, we have identified both improvements to our normal offerings, and also developed new ones so we are able to support people where it is really needed. Here are some of the ways we offer support: BASSÉ ROOT (USA): Our 501c3 nonprofit church, Bassé Root, is dedicated to sharing the Missoko Bwiti tradition and its sacred sacrament within the United States. We offer retreats, educational events, and spiritual care programs, all guided by the conviction that this path is a powerful antidote to our modern crisis of disconnection. RH EUROPE: Our European branch provides traditional retreats and spiritual care programs, thoughtfully developed and facilitated by our entire international team. SPIRITUAL CARE: We offer comprehensive support for every phase of your journey, from initial research and preparation to post-retreat integration. PRIVATE RETREATS: For a more personalized experience, our team can facilitate a private retreat for you or your group, either by hosting you or traveling to your location. ONSITE AFTERCARE: Launching in 2026, this dedicated program will provide crucial onsite support for individuals immediately following an Iboga retreat or Ibogaine treatment to help solidify their experience and ensure lasting change. No matter where you are in this process, we're here to help. At Root Healing retreats, we are dedicated to helping you heal, let go of the past, and discover the truth of who you are and what you want. Our hope is that iboga can end your healing journey, so that you can focus on being fully present and enjoying the gift of life. We pair the profound traditional way of holding Bwiti ceremonies with western medical practices to ensure a safe & transformative iboga experience.
Iboga V. Ibogaine
Iboga Detox is so effective as a tool because it blocks the physical withdrawals, while also helping the person to heal the wounds that led to their addictive behavior in the first place. With our Bwiti and science based program, the mental and spiritual healing guests receive is much greater than most sterilized Ibogaine Clinics can offer.
Ibogaine vs. Iboga - Which One is Better?
Iboga Root Bark and properly prepared Iboga TA are much safer and more effective than Ibogaine. Iboga Root Bark and Iboga TA contain all of the beneficial alkaloids, which have both individual and synergistic benefits, enhancing the efficacy of each. Ibogaine is just a single extracted alkaloid. It has even been shown that a few alkaloids, such as Ibogamine, have stronger anti-addiction properties. Due to the presence of other alkaloids and the lower levels of noribogaine in the body, Iboga Root Bark and Iboga TA are also much safer. However, the presence of Iboga’s spirit is really what makes it superior to Ibogaine. Ibogaine is devoid of this and its spiritual and safety benefits.
