Nausea also warns us about internal dysfunction. Also, of course, there are other sociocultural factors that one has to take into consideration.
Why does iboga make people vomit? Dr. Kenneth L. Koch, a professor of gastroenterology at Wake Forest University, joins 'Iboganautics' to shed light on this very question. As someone who has authored hundreds of papers and co-edited the book 'Nausea and Vomiting: Diagnosis and Treatment', Dr. Koch brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. He dives into what happens to our bodies when we ingest iboga, a naturally occurring psychedelic plant known for its purgative effects.
You'll learn how our gastrointestinal tract communicates with the brainstem to trigger nausea and vomiting as a protective mechanism against harmful substances. Dr. Koch also touches on how our sense of taste and smell can induce nausea, leading to vomiting, and how the body decides whether to expel toxins via the mouth or anus. The episode goes beyond just the physical reactions, delving into sociocultural factors that shape our experiences with iboga.
While some see it as a medicinal tool, the body might perceive it as a toxin. This discussion provides a holistic understanding of how iboga affects us, both physically and culturally. If you're curious about the complex relationship between our bodies and this powerful plant, this episode is a must-listen.
