Welcome to Cosmic & Divine Medicinal Herbs & Fungi, where nature, healing, and passion come together. We are Irina & Rohit, a couple from Vienna, Austria and Himachal Pradesh, India, united by our love for natural medicines, photography, and exploring the hidden beauty of India — from ancient places and deep forests to rocky mountains and vibrant cultures.
Rohit, born and raised in the hills of Himachal Pradesh, studied Hardware and Network Technology in Hamirpur. His passion for medicinal mushrooms led him to deepen his expertise at the ICAR-Directorate of Mushroom Research (DMR) in Solan, where he trained in Mushroom Cultivation Technology and specialized in Cordyceps Mushroom Production. Rohit combines his scientific knowledge with a love for macro and wildlife photography, mountaineering and motorbike rides through the winding roads of Himachal, capturing the magic of the natural world.
Irina, a published photographer and multimedia artist, brings a unique blend of creativity and academic depth. With an MBA from the Vienna University of Economics and Business, Irina’s curiosity for life sciences led her to study Psychology and Japanese Studies at the University of Vienna and Keio University in Tokyo, Japan. Between 2018 and 2020, Irina immersed herself in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda at the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda what was then Gujarat Ayurved University in Jamnagar, completing specialised courses to understand the profound science of holistic healing (read more here). A certified acupuncturist, Irina has recently finished her Panchakarma certification at the Gomantak Ayurved Mahavidyalaya and Research Centre in Shiroda, Goa.
Together, we combine our love for nature, science, and art to source and cultivate clean, potent medicinal herbs and mushrooms. Our mission is to create effective natural medicines that heal not just the body but also the mind, honoring ancient traditions while embracing modern knowledge.
We invite you to join us on this transformative journey — where healing meets wisdom, and nature becomes the ultimate source of wellness.
