Publisher's Summary
Western medicine has not been particularly successful at getting people relief from conditions like depression, chronic pain, migraine headaches, addiction, and PTSD. Dr. Tafur helps us to understand why.
I have watched people spend years in frustration and thousands of dollars consulting an army of specialists, without getting real relief from their problem. Because these and others are diseases deeply connected with the state of our emotional bodies. Too often, the Western medical approach fails to address the emotional dimension of illness. This is where traditional plant medicines, with their ability to alter consciousness and open channels of communication to our emotions, offer so much promise.
The stories shared here demonstrate the astonishing - mystical, colorful, metaphysical - effects of ayahuasca and traditional Amazonian plant medicine. Follow Dr. Tafur through the Amazon jungle as he develops a breakthrough understanding of how psychoactive plants interact with the complex network that connects our minds and hearts to our physical anatomy. What Dr. Tafur presents here is nothing short of a paradigm shift for modern medicine, where sacred plants, used properly in ceremony, take their place as important tools in the doctor’s medicine chest, offering the missing elements of emotional and spiritual healing that have eluded us for so long.

Insightful and Enjoyable Read
Dr Tafur's book is an excellent read on this topic. I found the book to be very insightful, especially as someone with little understanding of medical science. It was not too dry, as the information presented was woven through personal narrative. This book helped me to wrap my head around the ways in which body, mind and spirit are linked, especially with regards to the body and physical illness. I would really recommend this for anybody who is suffering from or treating a problematic physical illness, wishing to understand a potential underlying cause. Or for anybody who wants to learn more about Western medical approaches to illness and how it compares alongside traditional methods of spiritual healing. Dr Tafur's narration makes the audiobook a wonderful 'read'.

MUST READ!!!
This is, without a doubt, THE best book I have read on plant medicine. Right up there with The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby. Extremely well written, Joseph Tafur is engaging and informative. He covers his own personal journey as well as many case studies. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in plant medicine, spiritual and emotional healing, and effective healing of trauma.
