My Mentor: Dr. Anthony Kweku Andoh

This presentation will explore the remarkable life of Dr. Andoh, who ran one of the largest herbariums in the world, helped produce the Botanical Gardens at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, and authored The Science And Romance Of Selected Herbs Used in Medicinal and Religious Ceremony. In the 1990s, as Dr. Andoh began to discuss iboga’s ability to support severe drug addictions like heroin, the plant's popularity began to take off and it has continued to gain traction. Dr. Andoh is also responsible in part for popularizing moringa.
