Riassunto

This bulletin describes the life story and healing practice of a female spiritual healer, Nambela, in the south-western highlands of Tanzania, both from an ethnographic and an anthropological point of view. Pepo, the inner force or spirit of an individual, is the central concept in Nambela's healing therapy, and its state of balance is essential to personal well-being. All factors in the social and economic environment which cause mental, physical or social imbalance in an individual, have to be considered in diagnostic and therapeutic practice. Illustrated with a number of cases, focusing at causes of illness, citing pepo songs, as well as describing plants.
