Who we are and what we are about

A Comprehensive Approach and Team

At Root Healing, we recognize that genuine healing extends beyond medical intervention. Lasting transformation requires an integrated approach addressing body, mind, and spirit together. While Iboga and Ibogaine offer powerful therapeutic benefits, sustained results demand more than pharmacology alone. The Bwiti tradition provides a time-tested spiritual framework that facilitates deep psychological insight, emotional processing, and meaningful integration. Our multidisciplinary team unites medical professionals—including physicians, nurses, and paramedics—with scientists, professional counselors, therapists, and Bwiti-initiated traditional facilitators. This comprehensive expertise ensures safe, ethical, and holistic treatment for every participant.

The Importance of the Tradition

The Missoko Bwiti tradition, which is utilized in all of our programs is a powerful system to help people reconnect to themselves and their life and also remain connected.

The "Language of Iboga"

When we say that Bwiti is the Language of Iboga, we mean that Bwiti provides the framework through which Iboga's teachings can be fully understood and received. Just as you would need to speak French to truly understand a teacher speaking French, you need the context of Bwiti to truly comprehend what the spirit of Iboga is communicating to you. It is through these traditional teachings, practices, and perspectives that Iboga reveals what lies at the root of your suffering and shows you the path toward lasting healing. Without this language, the messages may still come — but with Bwiti, you gain the ability to hear them clearly, integrate them deeply, and carry them forward into your life long after the experience itself.

Authentic Bwiti Guidance

All Iboga sessions are led by facilitators trained and initiated in the Missoko Bwiti lineage, drawing directly from a tradition that has worked with Iboga for thousands of years. Guests experience traditional Iboga ceremonies, including fire talks, ritual teachings, and sacramental use of the whole Iboga plant, rather than isolated ibogaine.

Iboga, Ibogaine, Tradition, and Science

There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained about Iboga and Ibogaine, and fortunately, research is expanding. This includes studies from both the Western medical and research science perspectives, as well as insights from indigenous and shamanic traditions. Bwiti, known as 'The Study of Life,' is a much more ancient tradition that is wed to Iboga and has its own unique approach to understanding. At Root Healing, we integrate all these perspectives.
