The Tabernanthe Iboga(a plant which
grows on the equatorial area of
Africa) roots are the most common source
of Ibogaine. Ibogaine has stimulant
properties and has been used by hunters
from the Gabon and Congo tribes to be
able to stay awake for days when hunting. It was first
synthesized from the Tabernanthe Iboga's roots by
Dybowsky and Landrin in 1901. Ibogaine has been found on
other of the 6 species inside the Tabernanthe genus: T.
Manii, and in the Ervatamia Yunnanensis. It's been used by
healers to cure many kinds of diseases like impotence. It has
been also used by the Bwiti on their initiations.
