Total root - "a worthless product not used anywhere in the world
Total root is "a worthless product not used anywhere in the world", because it contains virtually no ibogaine and is 90%+ wood and the rest are root bark (as little as 3%).
It is the yellowish root that contains the active alkaloids; the root bark is shaved and eaten directly or as a powder drank in an infusion. Cult Shamans use the Iboga Root Bark to seek information from the spiritual world and they may consume this for a full day before asking advice from the ancestors.
