Course Description
What is natural pharmacy?
When was the last time you actually read the pamphlet that comes with the medications you take?
Have you ever noticed that the side effects are often more severe than the condition that you took the meds for in the first place?
Natural pharmacy is a completely natural remedy that is used with 100% natural ingredients, with no chemicals or synthetic and preservative ingredients that are harmful to our bodies.
The world of plants and herbs is a rich and ancient, full of wisdom and has been here long before modern medicine .
Natural medicine sees the human being as a whole and takes into account his mental, emotional, spiritual and physical state and finds a remedy accordingly.
So what will we learn during this course?

Shir Gutman
A Clinical Herbalist, Aromatherapist, Natural Pharmacist and A Reiki Master
I am a fourth generation of healers and natural pharmacists.
At the home where I grew up it was believed that natural pharma and healthy nutrition is the key for a good life. there was no place for the conventional medicine.
Since I was a child I was fascinated with the magical power of the medicinal herbs, as I've watched my grandmother brewing balms and grinding herbs with the mortar and pestle.
Walking the Path of Natural Healing
more than two decades ago I've started learning and practicing Reiki and then achieved the Master Reiki degree in Rishikesh, India.
Later on I took courses in Natural Pharmacy, Natural Cosmetics and Aromatherapy, which only opened my appetite to dive deeper into the fascinating world of the medicinal herbs.
And so I've studied 3 years in Merav Institute for Alternative Pharmacy and became a Clinical Herbalist.
Sharing the Knowledge
During that time I've opened Gutman Herbs, a business for natural pharmaceuticals.
In the last few years I've worked in a research conducted by a medical cannabis company that explores the effects this powerful herb has on different medical conditions.
Today I'm sharing the knowledge I've gained over the years through my own courses and as an instructor on udemy.
