APA - Ayurvedic Practioners Association

The APA Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia Safety Document has been prepared by the APA Pharmacopoeia Committee for the purpose of informing, educating and guiding all APA members on issues related to the safe and legal use of Ayurvedic remedies in the UK. This document is regularly reviewed and updated by the APA for the continuing guidance of practitioners as well as for the protection of their patients. It also serves to demonstrate to people outside the profession the high safety standards that APA members adhere to in their practice.

In the context of safety and authenticity in Ayurvedic practice the APA particularly

• encourages adherence to the philosophy and principles of Ayurveda;
• promotes the use of safe, pure and correctly identified remedies;
• promotes the conservation of endangered species and the use of sustainably harvested remedies. The future availability of many remedies is an issue of great international concern, which demands an active involvement of all Ayurvedic practitioners in the protection of our environment. This is an area of ongoing work to be supported by the APA.
