Herbal Harmonies [Box set]

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The Harmonix Ensemble has created a new music grounded in ancient tradition, modern science and inspiring artistry. These three "sonic tonics" use music to give you the same benefits as the worlds most popular herbal supplements.

Kava Kava plays a unique role in the culture of many South Pacific peoples where it is consumed for ritual ceremonial use. It promotes a deep sense of calm and well-being.

Flowing, ambient compositions, with tempos ranging from 35 to 55 beats per minute played on piano, violin, percussion, saxophone, and flute, coax your body's rhythms to gently slow down bringing on a state of deep relaxation and inner peace.

Gingko Biloba was first used medicinally in China thousands of years ago. It enhances mental focus, improves circulation, and elevates your mood.

Jazzy melodies ranging in tempo from 65 to 110 beats per minute promote new neural pathways and arouse a heightened state of alertness. Superb performances on guitar, violin, piano, bass, percussion, and saxophone make this recording as inspiring as it is beneficial.

Ginseng has been used for thousands of years throughout the Far East and North America as a stimulating tonic for the mind, body, and spirit.

With tempos ranging from 120 to 155 beats per minute, this upbeat rhythmic journey will boost your energy and lift your spirits. World percussion, guitars, keyboards, horns and strings create an absolutely irresistible energizer to wake up your day.

The Harmonix Ensemble includes music therapists, researchers, and talented musicians who have explored the vast body of scientific literature that demonstrates music's ability to alter our energy and mood. The entire Herbal Harmonies series has been created under the supervision of Dr. Russell Charno, a holistic chiropractor and the medical director of The Relaxation Company.

plinky plonk.......2004-01-03

i was drawn to this release out of fascination for the name. not only does
the plinky plonk work out have nothing to do with 'kava kava' it is some what offensive to my ears when people bother to commercially release this kind of supermarket/lift/whatever it is music and shroud it in mysticism and pseudo occult 70s nonsense. on the other hand it is well played and all that but much more recommended are the english pop band kava kava who fuse club, funk and psychedelic styles. they may not be as relaxing as the herb but at least their polished fusion is original and thought provoking

OK this is it.......2001-05-28

From the people who brought you Kava Kava and Ginseng, comes Ginkgo Biloba. This disc is supposed to make you more focused and clear. I noticed no such benefit. The music is very nice though. This series does make me wonder if they will be releasing other series, how about a vitamin series? Or a Garlic disc they could call "The Stinking Rose, music to make you less prone to heart attacks." I can't wait for the prescription drug series. And I think the entire city of San Francisco is waiting with baited breath for the Marijuana disc. No not the Pink Floyd disc, and no, not the Jefferson Airplane disc. As an herbal supplement, the disc bombs. It is too big to swallow, and the music puts you to sleep. As a New Age album, this is a solid if somewhat cliche offering.

Cool.......2001-05-28

The idea was good, but the music reflects the skill or the ensemble
