Medical Safety
Your Safety Is Our Priority
Iboga is an incredibly safe medicine. The vast majority of any resulting health consequences were form situations where the clients conditions were irresponsibly overlooked.
During our training Moughenda strongly emphasized that safety is number one. We were trained to safely guide you through this experience physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Attendance Requirements
EKG
Each guest must have an electrocardiogram. You can do it at your doctors office and send us the results, or do it on site for a $75 fee.
Our staff are specially trained to look for the specifics in your EKG results that are relevant to Iboga.
Liver Panel
Each guest must also send in a liver panel.
Iboga is processed in the liver. Therefore we must ensure that you have no undiagnosed severe liver issues.
A damaged liver would not automatically disqualify you from a retreat, your providers would make Iboga tea which is processed in the stomach.
Health Form
You will be required to complete a detailed health form with basic physical and mental health questions.
This will help us ensure that we are fully prepared and that you get the healing you came for.
Spiritual Screening
Under the guidance of the Iboga plant medicine, we screen every guest to know exactly how best to serve them.
We have a multitude of different plant medicines from Africa to help clear the way for Iboga and the spiritual screening will let us know which ones you may need.
Prescription Medications
The first thing Iboga does is detox your body, so you would need to stop using medication that can be extremely dangerous when combined with Iboga. Depending on the drugs half-life this could be a matter of a few days to a few weeks.
We will go over your medication and drug intake, and along with your doctor we will discuss your options to discontinue the problematic medications.
All psychiatric medications are problematic. They interfere with how your mind works. Iboga will clean your mind and reset it to how it is suppose to be.
Recreational Drugs
Drugs can be VERY DANGEROUS combined with Iboga. If you show up to a ceremony with drugs in your system, Iboga will fight to get that out of your body and you will be the one taking the heat.
For your safety, you MUST be off these drugs for a minimum of 30 days before your Iboga ceremony:
Cocaine, amphetamines and ephedrine
MDMA (Ecstasy), MDA, MDEA, PMA
Opiates (heroin, morphine, codeine, opium)
Dextromethorphan (DXM)
Mescaline (any phenethylamine)
If you want to create a safe, detox plan for yourself to attend an Iboga ceremony,

Active Addictions
Iboga has excellent results in detoxifying people from narcotics. It can get you clean without any withdrawals in a matter of days.
However, we DO NOT CURRENTLY OFFER A DRUG DETOX PROGRAM. If you are looking for one Contact Me and I will connect you with trusted Iboga providers that have the proper training and experience.
Who Shouldn’t Take Iboga
Taking Iboga can be dangerous if you have the following conditions:
Seizures/epilepsy
Heart problem
Severe respiratory conditions
Impairment of liver or kidney function
It can also be dangerous if taken with psychiatric medications, some prescriptions medication, and some drugs.
Other Plant Medicines
The use of other teaching plants like mushrooms, san Pedro, Ayahuasca, or recreational psychedelics such as DMT and LSD must be halted for up to 8 weeks before ceremony.
Iboga is the Godfather of all plant medicines, the teacher of teachers. If you are taking another plant medicine before your Iboga ceremony, Iboga will work to clean you out before teaching you, and you may not have the time to receive the healing that you came for.
No other plant medicine is as wise as Iboga, so making room for this powerful teacher in your system is key to the success of your experience.
