Iboga: The Visionary Root of African Shamanism Paperback – Illustrated, October 12, 2007

An amazing book about an amazing plant. I wish everyone knew about Iboga. It could save the world but first we must save the plant from extinction. As soon as westerners realized what this medicine can do, we of course consume way too much of it. It isn't something that you abuse but even if a lot of westerners use it once, or twice we are contributing to its extinction. The Bwiti in Gabon do not have enough for themselves now. It is a shame. I also wish the Bwiti cold harvest it sustainably and plant their own farms but since it takes so long for the alkaloids to become active 4-7 years, they need to learn patience. Iboga is the most pure, amazing medicine on the planet for sure.

This is the most informative book I've read on iboga. I especially enjoyed reading Part Two -A conversation with Mallendi, Initiation Master and Traditional Healer-. The book also explores the experience of iboga as well as the science and politics of its use in the West. I have given copies to staff members at Crossroads Treatment Center where we use ibogaine to treat addiction so that they gain greater understanding of its traditional and ceremonial use.Highly recommended reading.

Great resource on Iboga if you're in interested in the knowledge of Sacred Plants that have been passed down for literally thousands of years. It is one of the most fascinating gifts of nature and a key to unlock yourself if you have the courage. Definitely worth reading if you're considering to be initiated or healed, or even just curious on the subject.

I just wish this book would have given some info on microdosing iboga. I and many others have found that one can use very small quantities (20-50mg on your tongue each morning) to overcome depression, anxiety, and other problems. It isn't JUST a visionary tool. In fact, for most people it is far more useful/practical at a lower dose. We need to get this legalized in the US.

Still reading this book. So far, it is evdrything I was hoping for and more.

I hope to see Iboga helping more people in the future. I'm fascinated. Thank you for this book.

If you're interested in this, it'll tell you what you want to know. I am going to do a retreat with Ibogaine soon because of what I learned.

If you have a authentic desire to understand and think you have courage, in that case this book and subject is for you.
