Iboga The Root Of All Healing

Rarely, if ever, does a book come along with so many factual references that still manages to read like an adventure novel. Iboga, purely as a psychedelic experience or healing agent is a fascinating topic in itself. But since I read this book, my interest in the subject has skyrocketed. In IBOGA: The Root of all Healing, Brett has managed to weave together a page turning narrative that more than does justice to the topic at hand. It delves deep into many areas that surround iboga and ibogaine: philosophy, anthropology, mysticism, psychotherapy, conservation, common visions and experiences, the anti-addiction properties of ibogaine, and much more, and wraps up with an explosive conclusion that will resonate long after you’ve finished reading.In my opinion, this is the first and only book on the literary market to cover a topic too long ignored or overlooked by the psychedelic literati. This book is for everyone. Even if you are not planning to explore iboga, it remains essential reading for anyone interested in psychedelics, healing, self-actualization, alternative medicine, and more. Despite the fact that the book covers seriously mind boggling topics, Brett’s fluent, witty, smooth writing style makes is easy to understand the advanced concepts discussed therein. As well as finding it to be an amazing read, I actually came away feeling smarter, and with a grasp of certain topics that I previously found baffling. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

With very few exceptions, every other book I have read on iboga and ibogaine approaches the topic from an addiction perspective. Although this book comprehensively covers this, what I loved is that it’s not the central focus. In fact, when you get to the conclusion, it seems to be suggesting that many of the addiction fighting properties of iboga and ibogaine are those which can benefit otherwise healthy people. As Brett writes in the book, Iboga was used in ceremony for thousands of years before the word addiction likely entered the Africa or European vocabulary. The amount of research that has gone into this work is clear from the opening chapter. And yet, although reliant on factual data, the entire work still manages to stay incredibly readable, fun, fascinating, and super informative. This is an amazing read for anyone interested in psychedelics, and how they relate to culture, philosophy and healing. Well worth the money and highly recommended.

This book provides a refreshing insight into the origins, uses and cultural importance of plant medicine. I found the authors insights fascinating and it makes me (as a lay person) want to find out more. The sheer breadth of research is on its own impressive but the fact that the author has presented the book in such a manner so as to not alienate his readership, is what I find particularly appealing. I'd definitely recommend it as absolutely essential reading for anyone who who wants to know more about this subject.bramly b
