Other Names

Tabernanthe iboga,  leaf of God , thie-pelakano , bitter grass, holy wood, or the wood that cares for us”. 

Description

Iboga is a plant teacher known as the Godfather or King. Some consider Iboga the most powerful detox and spiritual exploration plant in the world. For thousands of years, the Babongo tribes in West Central Africa, have used Iboga for their initiations, spiritual practices and healing ceremonies. They transmitted their knowledge and rituals to the other tribes in Gabon. Today the religion is known as Bwiti.

In the rest of the world the iboga root is famous for it’s active alkaloid ibogaine, which to date, is the most powerful addiction interrupter known. It is typical that after one flood dose, the patient “awakens” 24 hours later with complete remission from their addiction.

Normally growing to a height of 2 m, T. iboga may eventually grow into a small tree up to 10 m tall, given the right conditions. 

It produces clusters of small pink, yellow,or white flowers, 
followed by elongated orange fruit that resemble habanero peppers. 
The plant contains a powerful alkaloid called ibogaine, which is especially concentrated in the roots and is used to make a controversial medicine that some believe can cure heroin addiction.

Members of the Bwiti religion in West Africa use iboga as a kind of ceremonial sacrament.

Iboga is a perennial rainforest shrub and psychedelic, native to western Central Africa. Iboga stimulates the central nervous system when taken in small doses and induces visions in larger doses.

 In parts of Africa where the plant grows the bark of the root is chewed for various pharmacological or ritualistic purposes. 

History

Its use goes back for thousands of years, originating with the Pygmies and used primarily now in the Bwiti religion of Gabon Africa although interest in the west is quickly growing.Iboga is an entheogen—“a chemical substance, typically of plant origin, that is ingested to produce a non-ordinary state of consciousness for religious or spiritual purposes”. 

The ceremony is considered to be one of a death followed by a rebirth. As entheogens, Iboga is related to South American Ayahuasca and North American Peyote, but is more potent and unlike Ayahuasca and Peyote which can be used many times, Iboga tends to be used only once in a person’s lifetime.

Medicinal Uses
Iboga is Used for:

• Pineal Gland Decalcification 
• Mind Reset – Emotional/Stress/Depression/Negative Thoughts/ Fear deprogramming
• Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)  
• Body detox for general health and wellbeing
•  Resets receptors, ends addiction to anti-depressants, go to the root of depression and gives you back your independence from a lifetime of prescription drug use. 

Myths and Religion

Due to the constant interpretation of myths from the Old and New Testament, the Bwiti religion can be considered as a “parallel” to Christianity, and it has its own interpretation of biblical events. For example, according to the Bwitists, the original sin was the incestuous sexual bond between Adam and Eve, Obola and Biome, the first human twins. 

Abel’s remains have become the ancestors’ (byeri) first relic of the cult. The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil are the plant of iboga, and the Universal Deluge is the Ozambogha – an historic even which took place at the beginning of this century, during the difficult migration of the Fang population from Cameroon to Gabon. The Christianity Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is in Bwiti represented as the divine Trinity Nzamé, Gningone and Noné. Noné is the evil one – the Devil.

Nzamé and Gningone created the first human beings, Adam and Eve. Eve conceived her first child with Noné, who entered her vagina in the form of a serpent: “… She delivered three children: a White one, a Black one and a Red one. The White resembled the colour of Adam. 

The Black had the colour of Noné, the colour of the Devil. It was only after the first twelve children, who became the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles. Noné’s children were the Monkeys .

 After having killed his brother, Cain departed for the forest and there he mated with a chimpanzee and from this union the Pygmies originated” (passage taken from a sermon quoted by Swiderski, 1990, vol. II: 65-66). 

 Notes 

“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.”  - Hermann Hesse, Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte

Anti Pollution Trees

Here are Some  Anti Pollution Trees 

Trembesi Tree or Samanea saman

Capable of absorbing carbon dioxide in large quantities, so highly recommended to be planted as a tree reforestation. Yet trambesi require a wide area.

Saman is a wide-canopied tree with a large symmetrical crown. It usually reaches a height of 25 m (82 ft) and a diameter of 40 m. 

The leaves fold in rainy weather and in the evening, hence the name "rain tree" and "five o'clock tree" (Pukul Lima) in Malay. Several lineages of this tree are available, e.g., with reddish pink and creamish golden colored flowers.

Dadap Red Tree 

The amazing tree that all the birds are attracted to is called a Coastal Coral Tree (Erythrina caffra).

Kafir-boom in it's home South Africa, Thong-lang in Thailand and Dadap or Dedap in Indonesia and Malaysia. It is drought tolerant which makes it well suited to Darwin's climate of wet - dry conditions.

The Dadap is a sacred tree in Bali and is considered a symbol of fertility. The tree features in Balinese ceremonies including the wedding ceremony. 

Mahogany trees 

The name mahogany was initially associated only with those islands in the West Indies under British control (French colonists used the term acajou, while in the Spanish territories it was called caoba). 

The origin of the name is uncertain, but it could be a corruption of 'm'oganwo', the name used by the Yoruba and Ibo people of West Africa to describe trees of the genus Khaya, which is closely related to Swietenia. When transported to Jamaica as slaves, they gave the same name to the similar trees they saw there

Bungur Tree

Known to absorb air pollutants such as lead. Then the second These trees should be planted for reforestation in large cities, near the main streets crowded traffic.

 It's no secret anymore if the motor vehicle to be the largest contributor of lead in the air. In contrast, trees like acacia trees should not be green belt. Why? since become one of the originators acacia of asthma. Likewise, the beautiful shape of palm trees, not sogreat benefits.

Longan trees 

Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L)

Able to absorb nitrogen that make our lungs so relieved.

Longan trees

Longan trees can produce thousands of ping-pong ball sized fruits that are eaten fresh or dried. They look a bit similar to ‘langsat’ and ‘longkong’. The fruits (also called Dragon Eye) can be eaten fresh, but can also be dried. Dried fruits have a dark color and are eaten as snacks or can be used in cooking.

Longan is native to South and Southeast Asia. A lot of fruits are produced in Thailand, China and Taiwan.

Longan is a member of the same family (Sapindaceae) as some other valuable fruits, including lychee and rambutan.

Pollution

Got a city with a high ground pollution, cant seem to fix this problem at all, have planted a LOT of trees, got a water treatment, with enought to go around. And got water plant, with filter, just in case, but nothing works, is this a bug then?

Go to your parks and trees tabs look the the nature ones you will see the tree with the arrow on it chose that one.

Find the areas with ground pollution and plant those growing tree's in those area's.

They die off as they clean the land so you have to go back from time to time and replant them till the area has been cleaned up so keep an eye on those areas for needed replanting.

It is the only FAST way to clean it all up. Eventually over time it happens but it would take forever without the help of those planted and growing tree's.

• Trees have great benefits, such as raising the ground water tables in LA, and are useful helping to capture, filter, and restore rainwater to the groundwater table.


• A tree reduce topsoil erosion, prevent harmful land pollutants contained in the soil from getting into our waterways, slows down water runoff, and ensures that our ground water supplies are continually being replenished. For every 5% of tree cover added to a community, storm water runoff is reduced by approximately 2%.


• Research by the USFS shows that in a 1 inch rainstorm over 12 hours, the interception of rain by the canopy of the urban forest in Salt Lake City reduces surface runoff by about 11.3 million gallons or 17%. These values would increase as the canopy increases as well.


• Along with breaking the fall of rainwater, tree roots remove nutrients harmful to water ecology and quality.


• Trees act as natural pollution filters. Their canopies, trunks, roots, and associated soil and other natural elements of the landscape filter polluted particulate matter out of the flow toward the storm sewers. Reducing the flow of storm water reduces the amount of pollution that is washed into a drainage area. Trees use nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium- byproducts of urban living-which can pollute streams.


• More than 8% of children in Los Angeles - 217,000 - suffer from asthma. Studies have shown that an increase in tree-lined streets could lower that number by almost 25%.


• Research presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference (AAAS) in Chicago showed that the presence of trees could cut crime by as much as 7%


• Two University of Illinois researchers (Kuo and Sullivan) studied how well residents of the Chicago Robert Taylor Housing Project (the largest public housing development in the world) were doing in their daily lives based upon the amount of contact they had with trees, and came to some the following conclusions:
  
  - Trees have the potential to reduce social service budgets, decrease police calls for domestic violence, strengthen urban communities, and decrease the incidence of child abuse according to the study. Chicago officials heard that message last year. The city government spent $10 million to plant 20,000 trees, a decision influenced by Kuo's and Sullivan's research, according to the Chicago Tribune.
  
  - Researchers found fewer reports of physical violence in homes that had trees outside the buildings. Of the residents interviewed, 14% of residents living in barren conditions have threatened to use a knife or gun against their children versus 3% for the residents living in green conditions.

A traditional filter strip is a grass area that is intended to treat sheet flow from adjacent impervious areas. Sheet flow is runoff that flows over land with no defined channels. Filter strips function by slowing runoff velocities, filtering out sediment and other pollutants, and providing some infiltration into underlying soils.

A forested filter strip provides a similar function but incorporates trees and a small ponding zone  into the design  The ponding zone is a small depression with a low berm where water ponds during most storm events (e.g., around a 1-inch rainfall). 

The entire filter strip is planted with trees and shrubs, but since the depression is wetter than the remainder of the practice, the two zones are distinguished by referring to them as the ponding zone and the forested zone. 

Additional benefits provided by a forested filter strip include evapotranspiration, wildlife habitat, and infiltration promoted by macropore formation. 

It is time to dissociate logging and progress. It is not.
