APA Journal January 2026
Letter From The Guest Editor
Welcome to the Spring edition of the APA Ayurveda Journal. We are absolutely delighted to publish details of the APA's landmark event, AYURFEST 2026, taking place on Sunday, May 24th. We have chosen a very special venue, Colet House – a spiritual centre with a long and fascinating history, including deep roots in Advaita Vedanta philosophy. Join us for a day of exceptional speakers, wonderful exhibitors, Kirtan with Gaiea Sanskrit, and to celebrate Ayurveda's growth and impact in our wider community. Furthermore, this edition features article submissions from Ayurvedic professionals in both the UK and Europe, covering a wonderful range of topics such as Ayurvedic herbs, and Ayurvedic perspectives on concepts such as Auto-immune Diseases.

Andrew is the APA newsletter Editor and is looking forward to working with APA members. We are in good hands as he already edits The Herbalist Magazine and is an author of many books including Rasa Shastra - The Hidden Art of Medical Alchemy which is a fascinating read. Andrew came to Ayurfest and gave a practical Ayurvedic alchemy demonstration when we all got to play and make Pravala Pisti.
