This guy is suffering from back pain and here are two examples of healings. The first is a rope-cutting at Ebando, done by Mambongo. (I can only show the first part of the ceremony). The second scene is of an open air smoking at a campsite in the bush about 50 kilometers from Muila, conducted by Papa Pedro. www.ibogalife.com MUSIC: Mougongo from the album Gabon People (Nat'l Geo)

Rite Bwiti joué par Pape Nzengui source : musée virtuel gabonais (www.gabonart.com) La télévision de la Forêt le bwiti (source : wikipedia) Le Bwiti (ou Bwete) est un rite initiatique originaire des populations Mitsogo et Apinzi du Gabon central. Sa date d'origine est indéterminée, mais remonte au-delà du XIXe siècle, puisque Paul Belloni Du Chaillu, premier explorateurs européen de l'intérieur du Gabon, a déjà pu observer sa présence dans le centre du pays. Le Bwiti est aujourd'hui largement répandu au Gabon, aussi bien parmi les populations du sud du pays que chez les fang du Nord (diffusion autour de 1910 chez les fang), aussi bien en milieu rural qu'en milieu urbain. A travers les Fang, le Bwiti s'est également diffusé en Guinée équatoriale et au sud Cameroun. Le rite de passage du Bwiti est centré sur la manducation par le néophyte d' écorces de racines de l'arbuste appelé iboga ou eboga (Tabernanthe iboga). Divers alcaloïdes présents dans cette plante (notamment l'ibogaïne) possèdent des propriétés psychodysleptiques de type hallucinogène. Pendant le rite de passage, l'absorption d'une dose massive d'iboga permet ainsi au néophyte d'obtenir des visions spectaculaires dont le récit aux initiateurs serviront à valider son initiation. La branche originelle du rite initiatique parmi les Mitsogo est appelée Bwiti Dissumba. Il s'agit d'un rite de passage pubertaire, strictement masculin.

Two days before Iboga Ceremony we underwent this smoke cleanse. Similar to a dry sauna treatment; you sweat a lot for 20 minutes. You are instructed to pray while you undergo this trial; I encountered a few hallucinations. The sacred red wood that burns is very fragrant. Pemba conducts the technology, Mobengo helps out and Mabiango plays mougongo. Camera by Inanga. www.ibogalife.com

Iboga (aka eboga) has been known to the Twa of the Congo Basin for more than 20000 years and in the past 300 years has played a central role in the Bwiti religion of West Central Africa (the fastest growing black African religion). Ibogaine is the principle and for many "the" alkaloid of the eboga plant. Ibogaine in a Western context is primarily used for withdrawal from drugs of dependence such as heroin, methadone, cocaine and others; as well as for the exposing, understanding and sometimes healing of unresolved life events Bwiti: an Ethnography of the Religious Imagination in Africa www.ibogaine.desk.nl Ibogaine has also been patented as an anti-neurotoxic medication (Dr. John Olney, US Patent 5629307).
