Ayurveda is a natural and holistic life science from India dating back more than five thousand
years with a history built on natural principles. Its antiquity dates back to the ancient Vedas,
especially Atharva and Riga Veda. Ayurveda emphasizes the philosophy Loka Purusha
Samyavada, the principle that the entire universe and the human body are similar because the
human body is made up of the Panchamahabhutas (Five Elements). Thus, whatever changes
happen in the universe, the same are reflected in the human body and manifests in different
forms giving rise to various diseases. Therefore, it is an essential connection, that is the human
body and the reflecting factors of the universe such as environmental factors, seasons, sunrises,
sunsets, herbs, and minerals for example.
Ayurveda perceives life as a four-dimensional entity that is Ayu, the living entity, which is
composed of Sharira (Body), Indriya (Senses), Manas (Mind) and Atma (Soul). Life is a constant
harmonious blending of body, senses, mind, and soul. It is these four components of Ayu
interplay that keep the human body functional. According to Ayurveda, health of a person is
defined whose physiological functions (Doshas), metabolism (Agni), body tissues (Dhatus), and
excretory functions (Malas) are in a state of equilibrium along with peaceful mind, clarity of
intellect and sharp senses is said to be established in oneself (Swatha). Therefore, health or
swasthya in Ayurveda is defined by the state of equilibrium of body and mind. It is a state of
equilibrium of normal anatomical, biological, physiological, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Hence, Sama (balanced) state of Dhatus, Dosha, Agni, and Mala is the reflection of homeostasis
in Ayurveda.
Achieving optimal health includes two principles in Ayurveda that is to conserve, protect, and
maintain the health of the healthy, and resolve or relieve the illness of the diseased.
Symptoms free from disease are not considered health; it's the state of enjoying uninterrupted
physical, mental, and spiritual happiness that is considered to be health in the real sense. In
Ayurveda by achieving optimal health one can enjoy the ultimate goals of life such as Virtue
(Dharama), Wealth (Artha), Enjoyment (Karma) and Salvation (Moksha). Remove maybe?
Health is not static but a dynamic state that is continually changing as a person adapts himself
to the variations in the external and internal environments to maintain a state of physical,
emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being. The holistic approach in Ayurveda
focuses on integrated well-being of an individual by addressing all dimensions of sustenance.

BIO:
Kevin De La Rosa is an Ayurvedic Practitioner and the founder of Vajrāyurveda Tucson. As an
athlete in youth and adulthood, he developed a keen interest in natural self-care and
performance-enhancement methods. However, despite his athletic pursuits, Kevin found
himself neglecting the true essence of self-care.
Engaging in excessive triathlon racing, trail running, marathons, and competitive soccer and
basketball games, alongside strained relationships and a disconnection from his authentic self,
Kevin experienced physical and mental strain. This manifested as joint pains, digestive issues,
itchy skin, anxiety, and gluten intolerance.
Turning to Ayurveda for a natural and holistic solution, Kevin underwent a transformative
journey that revitalized him on physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Inspired by his own
healing, he felt compelled to share the benefits of Ayurveda with others, leading him to pursue
a career in the field.
Kevin graduated from Kerala Ayurveda Academy as an Ayurvedic Health Practitioner and
Panchakarma Technician, subsequently becoming a professional member of the National
Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) as a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner.
Passionate about Ayurveda's profound yet simple principles for maintaining a healthy lifestyle,
Kevin emphasizes the importance of connecting with nature to nourish oneself holistically. He
believes that integrating Ayurvedic practices into modern life can enhance awareness and
overall well-being, offering a wide array of tools to enrich life's quality and productivity.
Continuing to study, practice, and educate others about Ayurveda, Kevin finds deep fulfillment
in contributing to the well-being of others. He holds a profound reverence for the Vaidyas who
have guided him on his journey and fostered the gift of healing within him.

Ayurveda holds the wisdom of healthy living, which is equipped to manage and support many
ailments. In Ayurveda the emphasis is not the disease, but on maintaining the balance of an
individual’s Body Constitution (Prakrti). A treatment plan in Ayurveda is custom tailored for
each individual’s needs and is never one size fits all. Healing is through alignment of body,
mind, and spirit in order to live a happier and healthier life!
