"African Psychedelic Plant Ibogaine Shows Promise in Treating Traumatic Brain Injuries in Veterans"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Good News Network
A new study has shown that ibogaine, a compound found in the African psychedelic plant Tabernanthe iboga, significantly alleviated symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in military veterans, including improving functioning, PTSD, depression, and anxiety with no adverse side effects. The study, published in Nature Medicine, involved 30 veterans and found that ibogaine, when combined with magnesium, safely and effectively reduced symptoms and improved functioning. The researchers believe that ibogaine holds broader therapeutic potential for other neuro-psychiatric conditions and are planning further studies to understand its effects on the brain.
