Review
"New age collections strong in visionary plants and African shaman rituals will be intrigued by the very specific discussions of Iboga, which has been suppressed by the FDA since the 1960s and which provides the power to break addictions."
Book Description
Iboga, spiritual ally of African shamans since antiquity, yields ibogaine, a powerful psychotropic substance. It is used mainly in Gabon and Cameroon in a secret, initiatory tradition called bwiti-nganza, in which physical and psychological illnesses can be rooted out and cured. Intense psychological conditioning that includes the rites of confession, contacting and honouring one's ancestors and construction of an in-depth psychological inventory are all part of the initiate's encounter with this sacred root.Like many visionary and initiatory plants, iboga is a key that gives access to other modes of being and consciousness. Despite its suppression in the West, researchers have shown that ibogaine provides a powerful adjunct to psychology due to its miraculous ability to break addictions - most notably to heroin. To the followers of the Bwiti religion, ibogaine is the indispensable means by which humans can truly communicate with the deepest reaches of their soul and with the spirits of their ancestors. This book details the traditions and techniques of iboga's use by African shamans and the essential role it occupies in that community in order both to preserve this knowledge and to show how ibogaine may have an important role to play in our modern world.

Nganga Speaks; The Voice of Iboga Expertise, May 5 2008
By Kanga - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Iboga (Paperback)
Thus far Iboga: The Visionary Root of African Shamanism is the best book on the subject of Iboga to the credit of Nganga Mallendi's input. For some reason, Mallendi is the first Ngagna to inform on the subject. I only regret that Nganga Mallendi did not write the whole book.I have read everything on the subject of Iboga since 1990. My interest in Iboga (folkloric Benzogho similarly) has to do with coming to terms with loss of a loved one. I have used Iboga w/Nganga, to mediate the forces of life & death & to soothe (not remove) the grieving process with very positive, enduring results.

This review is from: Iboga (Paperback)
This is an excellent book that introduces the African herb, Iboga. Iboga has been shown to be a natural way to eliminate withdrawal symptoms for heroin users that would like to give up their addiction. Anyone who is addicted to heroin or methadone or has an addicted loved one needs to read this book.

Good book, though missing an important point, Nov 13 2011

This review is from: Iboga (Paperback)
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.
