My experiences at Moughenda's Village have been absolutely life changing. The healing and initiation ceremonies helped me address addiction and mental illness at their root. The provider training deepened my self-knowledge and equipped me to help others. Moughenda is an amazing, genuine teacher, balancing toughness with love. This is the place to connect with yourself, the truth, the medicine, and the Bwiti people, who are full of life and love.

Best Place on Earth to Heal - I attended Moughenda’s Village for Iboga Provider Training and a rite of passage. The supportive team ensured all my questions were answered, and the professional medical assessment made me feel safe. The powerful healing experience with Iboga and the village staff helped me address deep-rooted issues that other modalities couldn't. Now, I'm prepared to provide this medicine safely and professionally, sharing Bwiti teachings and helping others build better lives. If you're committed to healing, this is the place to be.

The Village Saved My Life - I was impressed with the caring nature of each member of the village. Everybody I encountered was deeply knowledgeable, kind, thorough and committed to helping people heal. I’ve never met a more devoted group of people like the Missoko Bwiti in Moughenda’s Village. Thank you Moughenda, Boussiengue, Manimha, Lucien and all the beautiful people who supported me in my journey!

Review 6/10

After leaving the military, I felt lost, depressed, and anxious. Despite trying various remedies, I couldn't find peace. This changed when I went to Gabon and found the missing piece in my healing journey. If you're in a similar situation or want to provide plant medicine to others, Moughenda’s village is the place to be. Although traveling to Africa may seem daunting, it's worth it. Moughenda and his team welcomed me warmly, ensuring my comfort from the moment I arrived in Libreville. Working with Iboga in the village was transformative, and I am deeply grateful for the experience.

Our son was at the Village for two and a half months for a complex detox treatment. Moughenda and the staff were patient, empathetic and extremely knowledgeable around meeting his needs and facilitating his physical and emotional and spiritual healing. We are forever grateful. We got our son back. 🙏❤️

Review 8/10

I’ve tried many medicines and retreats searching for peace but always ended up seeking more. From the moment I arrived at Moughenda Village, I felt at home. The warm smiles and genuine faces made my heart sing. Desperate to end my endless healing quest, I found what I needed here. Moughenda Village didn’t just change my life; it gave me my life back and a peace I didn’t know I was missing. Moughenda is amazing, with humor and clear communication. If iboga calls, run to Moughenda Village and let the experts guide you. Much love and respect to the tribe.

Understanding Life Expectancy After a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

What is the life expectancy of a person with TBI?

The life expectancy of a person after a TBI depends on a lot of different factors, especially the severity of the injury and an access or not to proper care. For example, mild TBIs usually have minimal impact on longevity, while severe TBIs can highly increase the risk of complications such as infections, seizures, or even degenerative brain diseases.The whole point of natural remedies for TBI recovery is to improve your quality of life as well as your long-term health. How? Simply by promoting neural healing and addressing trauma directly at its root.

Understanding Iboga: Its Origins, Uses, and Healing Potential

What is Iboga and what is it used for?

Iboga is a sacred plant native to Central Africa, traditionally used in Bwiti ceremonies for spiritual growth and healing. Ibogaine is its active compound, and has also gained recognition for its ability to reset neural pathways. It means that igobaine is truly effective to support recovery from physical and emotional trauma in the long run.In the specific context of TBI, iboga therapy for brain trauma is a huge help to boost neuroplasticity, so the brain's ability to adapt and heal. Addressing the different cognitive impairments and improving the emotional recovery from the trauma become the main goals. 

Check

🌿 Sacred Healing Plant – Iboga, native to Central Africa, has been used for centuries in Bwiti ceremonies for spiritual growth and deep healing.

Check

🧠 Neuroplasticity & Brain Recovery – The active compound ibogaine helps reset neural pathways, supporting recovery from physical and emotional trauma, including TBI-related cognitive impairments.

Check

💡 Emotional & Cognitive Restoration – Iboga therapy enhances neuroplasticity, aiding the brain’s ability to adapt, heal, and restore function, improving both mental clarity and emotional well-being post-TBI.

Challenges of modern Western Treatments

Unfortunately, classic treatments for TBI such as rehabilitation and symptom management are rarely addressing the real root causes of the injury. So even if modern medications can reduce your pain and your inflammation, you need to keep an eye on the several side effects coming with it.But moreover, these methods rarely consider the emotional toll of a brain injury. This is where psychedelic therapy for brain trauma appears as a more comprehensive solution.

Check

⚕️ Limited Root Cause Treatment – Traditional TBI treatments like rehabilitation and symptom management often fail to address the deeper neurological damage caused by the injury.

Check

💊 Medication Side Effects – While modern medications can help reduce pain and inflammation, they often come with undesirable side effects, requiring careful monitoring.

Check

🧠 A More Holistic Approach – Conventional methods rarely consider the emotional toll of TBI, whereas psychedelic therapy offers a comprehensive solution by addressing both neurological and psychological healing.
