There are conditions that would prevent a person from being able to work with Iboga. Our determinations are based on scientific findings in the Ibogaine Manual, which was crafted by experts in the field over many years of experience.

We also employ an on-site doctor, who conducts EKG’s and medical checkups on all guests prior to ceremony.
